The Well: TheMetetron

[TheMetetron]

A stranger is being shown around a village that he has just become part of. He is shown a well and his guide says "On any day except Tuesday, you can shout any question down that well and you'll be told the answer." The man seems pretty impressed, and so he shouts down: Why not on Tuesday? and the voice from in the well shouts back: Because on Tuesday, its your day in the well.

What do you think about my 10K post and do you apply any of these methods to your own game?

Any other tips on improving?

Last 130k hands:



Unfortuantely, I nuked all of my databases before this point by forgetting to back them up before wiping my computer. This graph is probably 45k $5/10 and $10/20 and the rest $2/4 and $3/6.

Mostly $5/10 and $10/20 NL. Some $3/6 NL and a touch of $25/50.

Probably $30/60 limit to be honest. Though the current foray into $25/50 is pretty hard too though it is mostly just mental as I'm confident I'm good enough to beat the $25/50s I sit in at a decent clip.

Is your WR hovering around $1/hand pretty much regardless of what stakes you play?

You play FR, correct? (maybe not, I got this idea from somewhere)

Agree or disagree: PartyPoker is lol?

looking at the party lobby, there are never many tables running at 10/20 and 25/50, do good games run often?

also, at these stakes what would you consider a good table.
so what sort of stats would a fish have. at 25/50 are there some really bad players or is it just sharks feeding on smaller sharks

I started out playing $25NL and $6 SNGs on Party Poker at the end of 2004. At the time I was holding down a $10/hr crap job so the money was big. I busted my initial $100 deposit, but re-deposited like a good fish. I went on a whole bunch of luckboxing until I started to lose again.

At this point decided that I didn't like this losing stuff and couldn't afford it, so I went to pick up some poker books and for some reason got the 2+2 stuff by chance. Like everyone else I read it, found the web site, and started posted.

Began playing $.50/$1.00 limit (since the book taught limit) and moved up to $15/30 within months (ill-advised, under-rolled, players way better than me move). I was running good at $15/30 and was like "wow, I can make so much more playing this poker stuff than working... I'm going to stop working."

That was January 2005. Predictably, I got my ass handed to me and had to move down to $3/6 and $5/10, but eventually I made it back to where I started. Moved to Vegas in January 2006 and hit a snag where I propped for a while to make my money, but eventually moved up to $20/40-$50/100 limit. Moved to Sweden in August 2006 and then Buenos Aires in January 2007. Went on a retarded downswing at limit and swore it off. In February 2007, I spent the entire month learning No-Limit at $1/2 realizing I would probably break even on the month which was fine. Won around $5,000 and moved up to $2/4 in March and by the end of March was playing $2/4 and $3/6. Won $30,000 in March haven't had a worse month since. Since I've moved up to $5/10 and $10/20 which I currently play and want to start getting more $25/50 into my game as time goes on. My goal for next year is going to be half a million dollars and I think it is achievable.

I move to Bondi Beach, Australia (just outside of Syndey) in January 2008.
