Last time I checked Yves and the rest of the 14/12s get the same amount of action.

$+16.8K for the month on 51K hands-attempting to stave off burnout in this last week to hit my target of $20K net for the month. Had a really crappy day yesterday.

Looks like I may do only 65K hands instead of 75K hand target. I could do 75K but I might blow myself out so I'm not going to push it.

I don't know if Yves is getting THIS kind of action,
ae

[jalexand42]

Johnny, I feel ya. Here's the very end of July/beginning of August. Less money for me, but ALOT less hands. I couldn't make myself keep playing.

This led to me cashing out and taking a couple weeks off in total. Still rolled for 5/10, but gonna play some 1/2 for a bit to get my confidence back. I have never been so coolered coupled with getting no action on good hands. This game can be brutal sick.




Love my net profit on pocket pairs, definitely worth sharing.

[FGators]

Well after dropping $1200 yesterday at $1/2 NL I'm going to back to donkaments. I can't take this right now.

[surfinillini]

just started finally to multi-table online, put 2K on stars and we'll see where it goes

with a few good hands today and a great last week at the palms 2/5 1Kmax game, I'm up over 6k for the month finally even only after playing less than 40 hours live for the month

my first +10k month is still to be seen...

FWIW, I am way the hell overrolled and I move up when I think I beat the game decently at the next level.

[/ QUOTE ]

This is like the most obvious, best advice ever, but for some reason nobody seems to move up this way. Instead, for some reason, everybody decides to move up based on how big their roll is.

"Are your rolled for the next level? Yeah? Well, you gotta move up then." WRONG!

I gots nuse for you dudes. If you can't beat the next level, it don't matter how big your roll is.
