\"Where are you now\" Micros thread
I don't post much around here anymore, as I was sucked into the time vaccuum that is OOT long ago. So, I haven't quite kept up with this forum, and who's doing what, in quite some time.
I'm most interested in hearing from the guys who were posting here about a year ago, back when I was still interested in learning [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] and toiling away in .50/1. Guys like zuluking, btspider, davelin, jaran, entity, aaron w, bottomset, droolie, tiltaholic, and any of the many others I'm sure I left out. (of course, nobody is excluded from this post). What games are you guys playing now? are you guys striving to move up, or are you content where you are? I'll start off: I'm still addicted to bonus whoring, and as such spend most of my time between 2/4 and 3/6. I sometimes play higher, but not usually. I have a roll for much bigger games, but am content with a good hourly earn with small variance in the small stakes. I'm preparing for some major life purchases that will deplete almost all my bankroll (and make me a happy man), and as such am pretty risk averse. You?

Re: \"Where are you now\" Micros thread
A year ago I played alot of 0.50/1 and did bonuses. Right now I am playing 10/20 6m and will be a "pro" in two weeks - ie: I won't have a job and we'll see how much I play.

Re: \"Where are you now\" Micros thread
One year ago I was not playing poker since I was studying intently for my PhD qualifying comprehensive exams. I had left off at .25/.5. When I passed them in September I got a monitor so I could 4 table and started playing .5/1. Bonus whoring really builds up the old roll [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]. I still posted some a year ago (not all that much though).
I don't play all that much, but right now I'm at 2/4. My dissertation comes first, looking for a job second. I like to think and learn about the game a lot, and post frequently in my spare time though. Mat eventually made me mod.

Re: \"Where are you now\" Micros thread
A year ago I was bouncing around .5/1, probably mixing in .25/.5.
I'm currently lagging it up with DeathDonkey at 10/20 and hope to be playing 20/40 or 40/80 live next time I'm in Vegas. Rob

[ QUOTE ]
They also play 15k+ hands/month. I'm lucky to get in 10k. [/ QUOTE ] I've only played 10k hands in a month once. I normally play between 4k and 8K. but, all of it is while bonus whoring, which provides a subtanstial cushion for downswings(this has been my first losing month ever).

Re: \"Where are you now\" Micros thread
Just wanted to say thanks but I don't play that many hands / month :P
Though hopefully I will start when I stop working my real job in a couple weeks. -DeathDonkey
