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

What would you say was the biggest jump in terms of game quality?

older 15/30 --> 30/60 (now all these stakes play at the same level)

I think a lot of it has to do with timing as well. I was lucky enough to be playing the party 15/30 games from 2 years back. You seriously had to be drunk if you were not winning back then with those games and the good rakeback situation.
I think a player would have a significantly harder time moving up now if they started in the 30/60 games as opposed to back then.

I wouldn't call that outplaying, that's a miss from me which to that degree happens extremely seldom. Schneids posted that particular hand to moderate the opinion because it's not allowed to express realistic views about something you're good at. [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]

I play mostly live, starting playing .10-.20 with some friends 4 years ago and now play up to 50-100.

2+2 helped a lot.

How many hours of study would you guys estimate that you put in to get this high? Also, do you put the same amount of study time in now?
