Hi jba

I agree with your sentiment here, but it seems Italian needs some structure and work on basics before he can delve into stuff like abdul's writings. That's why the chart he linked to would be a great thing to follow. Nothing wrong with memorizing a chart and then, once you have it down pat, start to think about why you are doing what you're doing. That's how I did it, anyway

Btw that chart is pretty solid.

Italian, don't take this the wrong way, but if you are using a chart to play pf, and you are still unaware of when raising a hand like QJo or KTo can be correct despite what a chart tells you, maybe you should not be playing 2/4 6max.

I would play .5/1 6max at Party, from what I hear that is super easy.

I have read your posts, and tried to respond to your hands, I think you are a decent player and it's good you are trying to improve and you are taking the right steps, but I would take a step back from 2/4 for a short time.

Hope that helps.

I definitely am steping away from 2/4. The BIGGEST reason I was playing there was because the bonuses I was trying to clear. It's tough playing smaller limits when you have to have a certain amount to the rake. Empire is pretty easy to clear and the games are pretty soft.

All-in-all, the variance swings are making my heart suffer because I'm trying to gain a bankroll, not lose it. I am too results oriented thinking that 100$ is a good day, when I should be thinking in BB, not $$.

I started a new database on Pokertracker and so far I am doing well. I played 1/2 on Empire because I am finishing up the last 30% of my bonus and I think it's ok to do that on Empire for the time being. I'm probably going to give up on the Absolute bonus, that is alot harder to clear. I'm not down much on that site so it's not that big of a hurt to walk away before it gets worse.

Whatever I lost now, so be it. Studying the game, improving myself, will gain all of that back eventually.
