I am playing like [censored] [censored] right now. Grrrr

[jhill3535]

Can anyone tell me the average rake per hand on Stars for 200NL FR?

I think that it is about ~$1.25 on Full Tilt.

30k is a drop in the bucket.

[/ QUOTE ]

lolol yeah I guess so...

my lifetime NL graph is 2 months long now, only 50k hands but still I don't have much variance, 5 BI downswing at most.

I've been meaning lately to make a post where people like you, pokerboy, bottomset, juu etc could be nice enough to post lifetime graphs... I'm sure it would be pretty impressive and very interesting to see 500k+ hands on a graph to look at variance and whatnot.

This is my "lifetime" graph. It doesn't include HHs from my poker frenzy when I played at least 100k hands/month during May, June, and July of 2005. My laptop died, and with it went my HHs. It also doesn't include my play from November until March 2006-2007, because I played on my MAC (~50k hands/month). However, I did have a CDR where I kept about ~50K hands of my very first on-line poker playing on Party, so that is included (2003-2004, back when I was 2 tabling like whoa - 500 hands a day was CRAZY).

Full Tilt currently. I was going to switch to Stars, but there's no rakeback, and I want to see what happens to their rewards program before I move.
