Guys if yuo run bad, just take a shot at the big game and pwn a fish. Notice the -10 pt/bb and the 2000+ in profits.

stakes? that's not very good no matter the stakes, but if it's 10/20 or 25/50 it's not THAT bad...

My goal was 20k for the month before I move up to 400NL, but that will never happen if I keep being this lazy.

$20k in a month at NL200 is pretty nasty. Mad props if you can pull that off

in the last 5 months pretty much playing only $200 NL/PL 6MAX I've made $11K-$15K every month w/rakeback. This while only playing 35K-50K hands.

$20K net is very doable. I'm trying to play 75K hands per month now. I played 50K last month. You only need a 5.56ptbb/100 earn plus rakeback at ~4.40 cents per hand-at least at Party to make $20K. Being disciplined to get in the hours and not breaking down mentally is the key.


Initially I ran at around 10ptbb/100 in my first 25K. Now at 142K hands my earn is ~7.00ptbb/100. I ran pretty poorly last couple months but I was also playing poorly frustrated by my deteriorating earn rate. I looked over my last 85K hands from June.01 to Aug.07 where I earned ~5.75 ptbb/100 using PokerTracker's re-player...looks like during this stretch I missplayed/tilted 2.50-3.50ptbb/100-not good ..I replayed almost 1500 losing hands. I think 8-9ptbb/100 is very doable in the $200's. I 'd like to get my winrate up around 8 again before moving over to the $400's and grinding the fock out of them for ~6.

I'm forcing myself to stay in the $200's and play way more hands and really improve all aspects of my play before moving up for good to the $400's.

$20K is easily doable in the $200's if you are a machine.

Ummm, half of these I can't tell if its a value bet or a bluff.
And the other half... "I assume you had reads?"

Not trying to start beef or anything. Lets just say it looks like neither of us is in top form right now.
