I probably shouldn't even comment here since I am nowhere near the limits you guys are discussing but surely in nosebleed games like Stox plays there is NO WAY you are going to have a 2bb/100 win rate or anything like that? I would imagine that if your winrate is even slightly positive in those games then you are most likely doing very, very well. I mean surely there are no real fish at that limit and if there were they wouldn't last very long. Weak losing players simply couldn't afford to continually play that high unless they are rock stars or movie stars who occasionally play a bit of poker for fun on weekends or whatever!

In those games the edge any one player would have over others could only possibly be very small and could take quite some time to manifest itself in the form of earnings. I assume most of the players there have moved up to that limit after being proven winners in smaller games? I really doubt someone says to themselves one evening "I might give online poker a try. I'll deposit 180 grand and give 300/600 limit a bash. That should be fun."

With regards to the book I find it fascinating and I'm going to start my third reading today when I'm sitting on my ass in my boring job this afternoon. I will be very interested to read Dave Fromm's shorthanded book since a lot of the recommendations he makes in his DVD set directly contradict Stox.
