just an observation, the jump from 5/10 to 10/20 seems like the toughest jump climbing limits since the jump from $1/$2 to $2/$4, maybe this is biased due to running bad or playing strong opponents but it just seems like this jump in limits is significantly different than any other.

What would you say makes 1/2->2/4 tough?

Regs seem tougher and theres a lot fewer droolers. I havent played 1/2 in a while so its hard to say.

I think the jump from 2/4 to 3/6 seems pretty significant too, as i've seen a lot fewer fish at 3/6.

john kane, I might be down for a Vegas trip around late September or October too. I live in Manchester fwiw.

I'd be interested in meeting most 2+2ers too if anyone is around.

john kane · #**1916** 07-30-2007, 11:44 AM

cool christophers, sounds good. def something to mull over.

just a pre-warning though, my plan would be to play lots of poker, hopefully win loads, then get really drunk, then wake up hungover, then play lots, win loads, then really drunk etc etc. if sounds bad plan then no worries.

if in couple of weeks this is still a possibility maybe we could get a plan going, maybe other people on here may be interested as well.

also you could teach me how to have 6 figure months rather than 4 figure months as i have had this july. boo to no profit.

ty for posting.

Seriously, why do you guys post graphs that have labels so small they're impossible to read?

The 1.5 beta is reported to be very stable and safe to use.

I prefer Poker Patterns personally, but their website is MIA and I have to re-install it every couple months because it expires.
