Default Re: Up $4000 in 24 hours - am I any good or just a lucky donk?

I find it kinda funny people think posts on 2+2 are 'gimmicks' or 'making it up'. I've never found that sort of thing on any other forum before.

WEIRD!

Just keep playing. If you just keep winning 4000 a day you will win 120.000 a month!

I'm OK heads up, but I do hate it.

It's too much a game of big balls and chance. I prefer the 9-man 5/10 which is more a game of skill.

Yeah, that's what I thought the first time round, I went up $8K in a month and though 'yeah baby I got my dream job'. Then I lost $10K the next month, tonnes of bad beats etc. but I was bleeding chips through stupidity also.

roflcopter at 9man quote.

You should def move UP in stakes. You're up in money which means you're obviously getting better.

Whatever you do, don't withdraw the money. If you win 80%-90% of seen flops, you'll be a millionaire in no time.

There are some nice seats available in 6-max tables.

I am feeling I'm just maybe on some sort of sly heater, draw me back into the game then BUSTO. I worry about ending up like Grimmstar, super-star high limit player one day - next day scouring the bins for half eaten McDonalds burgers.

6-man tables not my favourite....I find you need to be a bit more aggressive because the blinds come round quicker and I've lost some big pots at the 6-tables.

You may be experiencing something known as variance.

Because you have no real history other than losing 2 K and winning 4K, I'm willing to bet that your best move would be to move waaaay down. Your explanation of how/why you win is very misguided. You want people to pay too much for draws. Its how you profit, when they play a hand differently than they should have. You may be the first, but I am always skeptical of claims that I can beat 5/10 but not 1/2. 1/2 is the same game with less intelligent players.
