Banzai, I respect your desire to become a top LHE player. Everything else in your posts is absurd. Is this a gimmick account?

Sorry for troubling you, I'll come back in ~40,000 hands and let you know if I'm still beating WPEX 5/10 for 10+ BB/100 or what limits I've moved up to.

Not unless he starts multi-tabling. 3 hours a week at one table should have him done with this in 2012.

You're not troubling me in the least.

You are, however, starting to convince me that this is a gimmick. I don't even know where to begin if you are serious.

Other than playing 3 hours a week at one table, what else are you doing to become a high-level LHE player?

I want to achieve a win rate of 2BB/100 so I will stop at either 6BB profit or the 300 hands whichever comes sooner.

This is possibly one of the biggest mistakes you could make. If you are winning it is likely that you have an edge against the competition. If you are losing you might not have an edge. According to your plan you will play more when your edge is smaller instead of the other way round.
Do not decide to walk away from a profitable because you have "won enough".

Guys I have clocked in 2000 hands since getting PT and my win rate is -4bb/100. Do I suck so bad or is this expected? I play 25NL.

Please read the first sentence of the second post. While you're at it why don't you read the thread?

Like somebody said earlier, the more you win the quicker you might find out, does the reverse apply for a losing player?

If after 2000 hands a player is -25BB/100 would you recommend a player to continue for another 48K hands just to be sure or call it a day now?
