Doesn't anyone play live games anymore? I can't seem to get an answer to any of these "time-frame" questions without having to get 2,000 different PT stats [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

About 2 years. But I took a lot of time off. I played about 50k hands at party 3/6, ran about 2.5bb/100. Devoted myself to work and didnt play much poker for about 8 months.

Started playing live poker and found I had a bigger edge. Played 20/40 (30hrs a week)for about 6 months and did good. 2 months ago I started playing 40/80. Ill probably take a few shots at 80-160 during the WSOP(if the games are juicy).

I assumed we were including live games. I couldn't have answered otherwise since I still don't play that high online.

I only played B&M on my way up to 40/80+

2-4: 6 months
3-6: 6 months
6-12, 8-16, 9-18: 9 months
15-30, 20-40: 9 months

Then it was 40-80 and beyond.

Started to play poker around 2.5 years ago. 0.5 years played different live freerolls and trying to learn. This starts from my limit experience.

0.5/1 - 7-8K (didn't have PT)
1/2 - 5K
2/4 - 2K
moving down 1
1/2 - 3K
2/4 - 20K
3/6 - 7K
5/10 - 2K
move down 2 (bought PT)
3/6 - 2K
5/10 6max -2K
move down 3
3/6- 5K
5/10 6max - 75K (starting to post and read at 2+2, quitting the job)
10/20 6max - 40K
15/30 6max - 20K (ev was below 1bb/100 and i considered it as too low for me)
move down 4
10/20 6max - 5K
15/30 full - around 200K
30/60 - 30K
move down 5
15/30 - 15K
a year ago:
more tables of 30/60 appeared
30/60 - 25K (low ev)
30/60 6max (hunted for full tables with less than 5 players) -25K (low ev in terms of bb/100- moved back to 30/60 full)
30/60 full - 150K
50/100 full - 45K
100/200 full and a bit of short along with 50/100- 30K
maybe - move down or switch to NL if catch big streak, maybe not if things continue to run good.

So i have had 5 movings back.

Took me 17 years to get up to 100-200, and about 3 orbits to get back down to 30-60.

Disregard my previous post [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]
It took me about 8 months from the lowest limit games to 50/100
