What was your win rates as you moved through limits?

[/ QUOTE ]

Not sure if you missed this or if it's off limits. Last time I'll bring it up.

Sorry, beat me to it, I was in the process of fixing that.

how long did you spend at each limit? did you run hot, and if so, do you think running hot was a big factor in reaching higher limits?

i know you play 5/10 - 25/50 right now, but do you think in the future you will ever play higher, like the 50/100 game on UB or on Full Tilt, and do you ever plan on playing the big live tournament circuits? like WPT, WSOP, etc. etc.

are you going to wpt niagra?

I spent a week or two at 1/2NL since I was just learning NL and didn't really know what I was doing. I moved through 2/4 really quickly since I only had to make 15 buyins ($12k roll -> $18k roll) to move up to 3/6. I played a lot of 3/6 since the games were so good, and did not run well when I first started at 5/10. I don't think I ran particularly hot as I moved up, my winrates aren't insane or anything. I guess it was important that I never immediately hit a 10 buy-in downswing right as I moved up.

I'd definitely play the 50/100 games if they look good, but I don't think I'm rolled financially/mentally for that quite yet. Live tournaments would be a lot of fun, but I turned 19 in June so it'll be a little while before I can do WSOP or anything.

Yea I'd definitely like to, getting some live donkament practice would be cool, and moreso it'd just be cool to meet some 2+2ers and party/play live cash/win the 5k tourney. Also I guess I'd need some cash for the trip and I think it'd be cool to go the bank and ask for ten grand in hundreds [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]

last time i did it they got all annoyed. the time before that they had to call corperate hq to approve the withdrawal, apparently my EFT from neteller had cleared, but not posted. I had to sit there for like 20 minutes and hold up the line. not fun.

Hey guys, just got done with a nice session (+$24k), getting around to answering questions now. Looks like ahnuld did a decent job while I was playing lol

[Al_Money]

What do you do, if anything to prepare for a session? Any advice for staying focused during a session?

Usually I check 2+2 for any interesting threads to start getting in the right poker mindset, then restart my computer and fire up all my poker software and look for good tables.

Play more tables? lol. Um I guess listen to music and focus on the action in hands you aren't involved in to get a feel for how the tables is flowing. For example, it's important to know if someone is on tilt and open-pushing every hand, but sometimes when I'm playing a lot of tables I'll miss this and then they'll open push and I'll have to fold TT to their Q2o because I wasn't paying attention.
