Awesome. ON a side note - does everyone play under different accounts? Its the like the cool thing to do. CTS's blog said he was playing under a dif. account - to get action. I'm not sure how I feel about "tricking" your opponents as to who they are actually playing.

August:



+ like 600 rakeback.



So here is the problem:

I'd like to move up and here and there I open up a 2/4 table, but I have like no hands on those players and should probably start datamining them (which I don't do). My db is access and not sql, which is also something I should probably do.
Also at 2/4 the regs are really tough, and the fish often have small stacks (like $200 or less).
I have 36 buyins for 2/4, but I know a lot of 1/2-players have like $20K and still play 1/2.

What do I do?

[Jay Riall]

I'm playing $400nl with like $10k at the moment (just payed off my student loan). Its going ok, I will move down if I drop to $8k though.

I make more money of half stacks than any other players. I seek them out, would never not sit at a table because the fish was only 50BB's deep.

start datamining, and no, aside from 3 or 4 regular posters in this thread FT 400 regs are not tough in the slightest, they are a bunch of nits. it blows my mind how different it is to party, party regs are so so so so so much better, but party fish are so so so much worse. ft bores me to tears, i seem to get 100BB in once every thousand hands, wtf. point being, don't be scared.

indeed, ideal tables are where people all have 40-80bb because those players are rarely competent at all
