Actually, the question to me regarding why I play 1-2 usd is not a subject for this thread. But I shall answer it just because I assume there are some readers in this low stakes forum who are quite new to poker and have some ideas to make a living from it.

The swing when multitabling 1-2 is for me around 200-300 usd, earning around 20usd/hour. I do most money from the promotion system.

If I multitabling 5-10, my swing would probably not be less than 3000 usd. I would have to pay more attention to the game, probably multitabling less and face more skillfull opponents. My earning would also be more insecure and rely more from the game than from promotions. I would also have to consider the question of collusion and cheating more serious when the stakes are higher.

Temporarily I play up to 3-6 (few times 5-10) at AP and so far I did not have any problem to beat the game. But my experience from the 2-4 and 3-6 games are limited so I can't say that I would beat the game in the long run. But probably I would, like I also did beat the live game I played for years at 15-30 stakes.

So there are no obvious reason to move up in stakes. I am a grinder who shall secure food at the table and money for the bills. To play 1-2 at AP is for me like a sure bet. If you have poker as your income, you never take any risks. If poker is the game who shall make you rich and famous, forget what I say.

weird i was just reading this thread thinking of responding, but realized there were results and a second page already. i was very unsure about just calling vs popping again i think with A9 i pop one more. there are about as many K9 Q9 down to 98 combos as 55, but i didnt know what to make of the overlimp reraise( wouldnt he just raise K9s after the limp ect? even 55) i like never see that. I think you can rule out AA KK QQ tho after his river lead, i may call just out of confusion with his preflop play and thereafter trying to put him on a hand we lose to, but at the table on this board im sure i raise call. i definately cap turn still tho.

as far as ur swings are concerned DasBusen if u are the best 1/2 AP player thats saying you have a fairly strong skill level (even tho its 1/2) come on get like 1500 bbs for 2/4 or 3/6 or whatever and the swings wont be a big deal, pokers been my only income for like 7 months rite now and I usually only keep like 800 bbs in and cash out regularly. 5 10 admittedly is a bit tougher opponent wise and the dollar amount swings start to seem more significant but COME ON BRO, im a loser so far at Wpex over 30-40k hands and making like 30 bucks an hour/ 800 bucks a week just cuz of rakeback.
