I am a former SnG player who is just starting 6 max cash games. I have $400 and play 50NL currently. What strategy could you give me to move up in the levels the most efficient way possible?

My group is researching light emitting diodes and I am in the college of electrical engineering and material science.

Any paper publications? I just finished up some research at Lehigh University working for a group that was involved in photonics, LEDs, Quantum well lasers, etc. We were growing the first Blue LED samples out of the MOCVD when I left.

No I just began my research and was primarily taking classes. I just finish my first year of the phd progam.

Aba, thanks for doing this. Do you play primarily on Full tilt?? There's much discussion on here about not laying down KK preflop to a bnig raise or an all in. Are you a player who doesnt lay down KK preflop at the stakes you play??

[/ QUOTE ]

I play on UB, crypto, fulltilt, stars, prima, and a little party. I don't fold kings to many people for 100BB. Maybe 3 or 4 people I play against I would fold kings to preflop for 100BB.

Aba20: right now you are playing against Gus Hansen.

What do you think is his greatest strenght/weakness?

What do you have on him in your notes?

[/ QUOTE ]

He is way way to loose, his style might work ok in tournaments against weaker opponents but he would not be sucessful at the 100/200 game.

here are my notes non him followed by ther meaning

Notes: DNB, CS, leads weak, PWHOP, NSOP, VB

DNB: Do not bluff
CS: calling station
PWHOP: Plays weak holdings out of position
NSOP: no sense of position
VB: value bet
leads weak: Leads into preflop raisers with marginal holdings

Hey aba20

Ive always looked up to you and I hope to someday be playing against you at 50/100 NL on UB. Heh. Thanks for doing this bro.

I asked el d a different version of this question too.

If you had to start from scratch with $1,000 and you were only allowed to play NL holdem cash games. What would you play and can give me a bankroll plan you would use to climb back up to the levels you play now? How long do you think it would take you?

Thanks

-Tickner

aba20

You said that you have recently joined cardrunner.

1. How much has this helped your game so far.

2. Are these videos and all they contain a far better learning tool (ie steeper curve) than simply posting and responding to hands on 2+2.

3. Would you reccomend them to a $100 NL player with a good basic understanding but needs to take his game to a higher level. ie ME! [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] Or should I work to a higher level before making the investment?

Wow! Is he that bad at no-limit hold'em, or is it only at Omaha?
I have seen Matusow play Omaha and he actually seems to play a very good game (even tho' he often find a way to loose it again). But do he always play on a staked/borrowed bankroll on Full Tilt - it sure sounds like it?

Just curious [img]/images/graemlins/ooo.gif[/img]

Funny, I have the same notes on many of the donks at $25NL.

Couple questions:

Do you have a specific financial strategy (i.e. % that go into bankroll vs. savings/investments).

Toughest transition from small --> medium stakes? medium --> high stakes?
