the overall speaks for itself:



i think i'll stay at NL100 lol

[IanB000]

I ran at like 4.5ptbb/100 at 1/2 over 100k hands.

Also, is this guy on the forum?

IanBarns: u play jacks good
Dirty Donny: incorrect, I play them poorly
IanBarns: Oh.
Dirty Donny: at least use an adverb

[Phresh]

Is 4.5 even that impressive? I thought I remembered people beating 1/2 long term for like 6PTBB back in the day?

[IanB000]

was in january of this year

[TheProdigy]

I think the 6ptbb was in Party days.

I think 7 ptbb is possible whenever the legislation gets passed and we get poker legalized in the states again. Every night will have like 5 players who are horrible but on heaters, 5 horrible players that are rich and just wasting money, etc. But now most of those people are gone. I seriously think if it gets legalized I will be considering this as a long-term option instead of just getting through college option...

Not too sure about my turn line on this one where I make quads. I didn't want to clutter the front page with this one so I posted it here.

saw flop|<font color="#C00000">saw showdown</font>

<font color="#C00000">Hero ($5.93)</font>
Button ($6.03)
<font color="#C00000">SB ($4.80)</font>
BB ($5.74)
UTG ($14.02)
UTG+1 ($3.20)
MP1 ($5.54)
MP2 ($2.85)
MP3 ($6.05)

Preflop: Hero is CO with 7[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 7[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img].
<font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, UTG+1 calls $0.05, <font color="#666666">3 folds</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to $0.2</font>, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, SB calls $0.18, BB calls $0.15, UTG+1 calls $0.15.

Table was tight. I probably should have raised it to 25c.
I figured the limper would take a flop and I would take it down with a cbet providing we were heads up.

Flop: ($0.80) 7[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], T[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], T[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(4 players)</font>
SB checks, <font color="#CC3333">BB bets $0.15</font>, UTG+1 folds, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to $0.5</font>, SB calls $0.50, BB calls $0.35.

I thought my raise was about right (1/2 pot) but wondering if I should have pushed it a bit harder.

Turn: ($2.30) 7[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font>
SB checks, <font color="#CC3333">BB bets $0.15</font>, Hero calls $0.15, <font color="#CC3333">SB raises to $0.85</font>, BB folds, Hero calls $0.70.

Not too sure about my turn line. Villian will act first on the river so I just called. Im thinking this will allow me to get bet into on the river where I can raise.

River: ($4.15) 9[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">SB bets $1.35</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to $3.15</font>, SB calls $1.80.

I actually messed up my river raise. I left villian with .10c. [img]/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img]

Final Pot: $10.45

Results in below:
SB has Ad Td (full house, tens full of sevens).
Hero has 7h 7d (four of a kind, sevens).
Outcome: Hero wins $10.45.

I really don't think Stars 1/2 has changed much.
