I am so ridiculously stoked because I'm going to put a deposit on Bovada soon and play donk stakes. You'll get to see my field research for my new eBook, "How to Really Suck at Poker," by spoonitnow.

Haha I haven't played poker at all since around Black Friday and not anything worth consideration since before then. I'm going to try to get some hands in just because it's something I like soon though | |

None that I felt like sharing at the time. Thing is, I'm 4tabling at zoom and retrieving a hand for analysis requires me to sit out of my tables and go through the replayer. Either than or analyse my session in detail afterwards, which I'm far too lazy for at low stakes, especially once I'm stoned. Though I really should post hands sometimes, because there are a few spots I find myself in where I think I could do with analysing. | |

If you wanted to pick out a couple of hands to convert and PM me with any reads/notes, then we could use them for our first official round of hand history analysis like what I tested yesterday. I'm hoping to get 4-5 hands for the first batch, so like 2-3 from you would be fine. | |

I think if I could find a small VPIP/PFR hud at least for Bodog/Bovada I could play more. I haven't played much this summer but winter is coming and I will probably try to grind to a point that I can take a few bucks out of poker again | |

Currently at 5nl, but I had to step down for a few days due to brutal variance (or playing shit). 2nl is ridiculously easy and it wasn't long before I was able to step up again. My BR has been wildly fluctuating recently, it was as low as $20 when I stepped down around the beginning of the month, and now it's around $140, with a $50 bonus fast approaching. | |

I doubt you are beating 5nlz for more than 2bb/100, 1k hands is $1 an hour, 6 tabling 5nl is about 500 hands an hour so 4bb/100 and I'd be amazed if you weren't doing much better than that. |

Well unfortunately I don't have any tracking software on this comp, and won't have in the near future, so I can't tell you what my winrate is. I can only tell you what my BR does. | |

lol not quite one tourney. Last weekend I cashed $60 in the storm. More to the point, throughout the years I've had much more success from MTTs. Cash games frustrate me a lot more, and without a HUD I don't feel like I'm playing nearly as optimal as I could be. I don't need a HUD for MTTs, they're pointless because most people adjust as the blinds increase and relative stacks decrease. This isn't a snap decision based on a sample of one game. This is a serious consideration that I've been thinking for some time, but lack the discipline to actually put into practise. | |

The reason my BR was at $20 was because of cash games. I had a horrible day where downswing forced me to step down to 2nl. I thought I was gonna have to transfer my FTP roll over to stars. Fortunately I ran much better at 2nl and worked my roll back up, and since I stepped back up to 5nl I've been making a profit. But winning money at cash tables seems to be much more difficult than doing so in MTTs. I assume that's because my game is more suited to MTTs. Playing in a $215 game where the standard of poker is far superior to what I'm used to in ten dollar games, and being able to compete for 7 hours, this tells me I'm not as bad at poker as I was beginning to think. Stepping down to 2nl is a brutal slap in the face to someone who has been playing poker for many years, especially when I have enjoyed decent cashouts in the past. Why the fuck am I having to do that? Obviously I suck at cash games. I don't suck at MTTs though. That's why I'm considering playing just MTTs. | |

My roll is on an ipoker skin at the moment, but I'll likely move it to Stars if there's no real difference in standard or if the software blows. If I do come to Stars then I'll probably play Zoom, but possibly throw in some reg tables. If I do, come start some tables with me and help yourself to my roll via volume-tilt/FPS. | |

Bit of a side track here, maybe it should be a new thread but since we are talking poker here I have a question I don't think I have seen broached before. Playing 6max $10NL on Bodog/Bovada. Obviously shitty players abound. | |
|

Not sure anybody could answer this unless there's a winning nit lurking, but I should think you could win at 6-max playing 14/10 at the micros*. That's assuming you don't stack off with big pairs and tptk all the time. | |
|

Something also contributing to the issue is the rake at micro stakes being effectively higher than it's probably be at any point in the history of the industry, so a lot of hands that you feel are marginally +EV in general are going to be marginally -EV instead. | |

One of the guy who routinely posts on 2p2 in the beginner bankroll threads plays most of his volume on ipoker skins iirc and he's seemingly beating 50nl and I'd be surprised if he was much better than b/e at 10nl on stars. Although I've played far too much zoom so maybe 10nl reg table standard is complete ass still. |

way tighter than you think. There are still nits beating the rake comfortably. Hand advantage will never go out of fashion. |

Thanks Daven. That was the answer I was hoping to hear. What spoon mentioned about the marginal hands is partially my point. Mostly, I just want to stop playing such a swingy game at a stake that barely matters to me except for the fact that I haven't deposited any of my own money since 2005 and don't plan on it. I would like to at least build a small roll just putting in the hands. | |

Winning at pokers atm, about 20VPP away from a nice bonus which means I've > doubled my roll since depositing and I just have absolutely no will to play. Grinding out the ~hour a day I'm doing recently is hard work. |
