Keep in mind there is a special forum for Beats, Brags, and Variance . Some of it will inevitably end up in here, but just keep that in mind.

GOOD LUCK TO ALL <font color="white"> unless you are in the hand with me you disgusting degenerates </font>

Buy poker tracker. This guesswork has gone on for far too long.

I have seen people talk about how 25k months are not sustainable at nl600 and I really do not get it. Running at 4ptbb/hr while 8tabling is $384/hr working 20 hour weeks you hit that number pretty easy.

Winrates: I've looked everywhere and i really cant find an answer to this.

Right now I'm playing 400NL and running hot. I dont want my expectations to be skewed by variance so i'm looking out to all of you guys. What kind of winrate (ptbb/100) are people pulling in here over bit samples? Is 6-8 sustainable?!

I'm still relatively new to cash games (only ~70k hands) and i havent hit a downswing yet, so what should i expect!?!

goal: take a break, then concentrate on making money. 20k is the goal.

August 7th: Vegas baby!

I probably go superbusto so my goal is to rebuild the roll when I come back.

Goals:

Kick ass at TS, then get ass on my carribean cruise.

I have been a recreational player up to this point. I played about 3k hands of 6max NL (400 - 1000) over the last two weeks - all single-tabling - and made 35BB/100 hands. Sickest heater I have ever been on and it has me scrambling to start keeping track of my winnings for tax purposes.

Looking at going back to school in January so my goal for August is to avoid tilt when I inevitably cool off and keep playing good poker. I'm going to start mixing in a second table as well. (This sounds hilarious to some of you, but I do usually do other stuff, like watch a game or read 2+2 while playing). My goal is to make more money playing poker than I do at my full-time job.

And to post more hands when I play bad.

Nice I actually get in these threads early. Goal is 30k.
