what's a sustainable winrate for 2/4 NL. Anyone think 10 pt is absurd? This post is kind of targeted towards donbuttons but anyone feel free to reply.

10ptbb is awfully high for 2/4. Probably the very upper ends of what's possible by about anyone, if that.

I would guess about 8-9 is max for a great player long term. The problem is, no one with 5+ptbb plays 2/4 for "long term".

i'm retarded, but why the [censored] can't i figure out how to import my hands from stars into my pt.

[tcorbin16]

forget my 2/4 winrate post i was just thinking of low variance alternatives to winning money instead of 5/10 but I figure i will just play 5/10 because there wont be much difference.
