How many real pros drink at the table? That's poor discipline and I know of a couple of otherwise good players that went broke because they couldn't handle their alcohol.

Right. and driving drunk doesn't make you drive worse.

As to the argument between Hip and whoever:

Hip also plays in Detroit where the rake is 5+1 (or is it 6+1?) which probably effects his winrate substantially.

Also he probably isn't that much better than you. [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

Yes, I put that into consideration, the extra rake and all. But, I go to MCC to have fun and hang out with my buddies, not to make a living.

If I'm not a better player, I am probably better at making life decisions, seeing as I'm not going to try to make a living playing 5-10 in a casino anytime soon [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Also, if you are getting 33-38 hands per hour in at 3-6, that means your opponents are probably playing better than you think, and they fold alot PF, and there aren't 8 way raised pots.

I still think it's impossible for someone to average 4+BB/100 hands over a large, large sample, say 250K hands.

And really, if you can beat 5-10 live for 4BB+/100, then for the love of god buy a computer and stomp the SSSH games and earn 5 times as much.
