Default Re: Going pro

A winrate of 3 is impossible multitabling Stars 5/10. 2 is phenomenal. 1 is good and probably the top 10-15 percentile of winners in this game.

I really envy people who just win win win. I don't think I've ever had an extended super hot run. It just hasn't ever happened. I go up, down, up, up, down, down, up, down, and overall I end slightly up. It has always been like this for me. I was telling jba at the tables today that I feel like my A game is definitely near the best at the stupid Stars 5/10 game, but it doesn't matter. I can't win.

I played my A game for 1700 hands today. I folded a couple winners because some guy 2 barreled with air OTB after the PFR checked to him on the turn. I had A3 on AK942 and he bet the turn and river 3-way with QT. The other guy check called the river with JT.

I lost with AQs, AQo, AJs, AJo, ATo, KK, KJs, KJo, KTs, KTo, QJs, and JJ, among other hands. I just stopped at -100 BB for the night. Showdown stats of 30/50. Just an insane, ridiculous run where everyone hit everything, I flopped nothing and when I did flop a draw, it just never came through. This happens all the time to me. Basically it gets to the point where I never expect draws to hit.

Here's a hand from late in my session today against a 2+2er, I guess to prove to myself that I was playing well all the way through.

PokerStars 5/10 Hold'em (6 handed) internettexasholdem.com

Preflop: Hero is BB with Q[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img].
