Default Re: When To Give Up?

First of all, you need to realize that there are far more losers than winners. And its possible that you can't beat the game, but I doubt it. You probably have leaks.

1. Buy pokertracker and PAHUD. Choose a site that offers the best combo of bonuses, rakeback,weak opposition and pokertracker compatibility.

2. get a bankroll of about 30 buyins for whatever level you are going to start at, and start at a level you both afford and have a reasonable liklihood of beating. I know you need 20, but the 10 is for pissing away on bad play.

3. Play only one table to begin. If you cannot beat a level single tabling it, you will be a multitabling disaster. After you gain confidence and can beat the game for more than 5ptbb/100, add tables as comfortable.

4. Constantly review your stats and hand histories. Compare you stats to those of other winning players, but realize that you can't copy someone else's game, but you can and must learn from others.

5. Adding tables and moving up limits is a hit or miss proposition based on your comfort levels and abilities.

The fact that you play powerball is irrelevant. Good luck.
