Re: Stoxtrader is \"In the Well\"
[ QUOTE ]
Hey Stox, First of all thanks for the site. It's been a great help to my game and worth every penny. I have an odd question that I have been wondering for quite some time. If you or someone of your caliber were to play at a 3/6 6max LHE game vs a group of winning players, say a group of regular 3/6 2+2 folks, do you think that you would be able to make a profit? If so what would you guess your BB/100 would be? Just curious since the % of rake is higher than in high limit games if you feel that an elite player would be able to exploit their weaknesses enough to overcome the rake. Hope my question makes sense. [/ QUOTE ] your question makes plenty sense. I think against 5 good regulars at 3/6 max I would certainly have a tough time overcoming the rake AND turning a good profit. I would guess my winrate in that game would be .1-.6bb/100 assuming a reasonable rake. |

Stox,
Why do you play much more NLH than LH these days? Do you prefer NLH now or is there more profitable opportunities in NLH these days? |

Why did you quit your stocks trading job? [/ QUOTE ] Basically 3 reasons. 1. We didnt want to live in new york for the next 20 years and have our kids go through school there. I'm a west coast guy and still have family here in california. Moving and keeping my job wasn't an option and with our oldest approaching kindergarten the timing was right. 2. I was a soft #2 on our trading desk and the #1 was young and likely to be around for a long time. Sort of a glass cieling for me in terms of advancement, though you never know. It would have been a well compensated, if somewhat boring next 10 years most likely 3. My first 10 years of work, combined with a few strong years of poker and the possiblity of future poker income made it financially viable to keep our current lifestyle in california without me having to look for a "structured" job. |

Re: Stoxtrader is \"In the Well\"
I'll probably lock this thread tomorrow as thebyrce is now doing a well and that should prove to be very interesting. I may choose to re-open at a later date, but for now your last chance to ask question will be sunday or monday.
