4PTBB/100 is nothing, what about that makes you think you can move up to high stakes!?!? My entire month not a single day was under 10PTBB/100 at 2/4 and I have not even considered moving up to high stakes.

good luck sustaining that

wow some of this advice is just awful


the difference between 10/20 and lower limits is on 10/20 people are VERY GOOD postflop and its a LOT harder to tilt them. 5/10 is so easy to tilt people and everyone is pretty awful/weak/readable postflop.

lol I didn't mean I won every single day.. when I'm down in a session I take short naps(not full, 8hour sleep) and get up and grind my way back until I'm in the black even if it crosses over 2 days.. so in my mind that's still the same day lol.

Or another way of putting it is, the LAG style of annoying small raises to tilt opponents into making a stand with you on your big hands works well in SSNL and MSNL, but HSNL guys would simply not get involved with you. They are a lot more patient and know what they're doing once the money's in.

i honestly can't believe people would pay that much to get coached. if you aren't a winning player it seems like it'd be very easy to just go over stats and HH's and figure out what you're doing wrong and fix it.

agreed, if people were just a little smarter I think everyone could be a winning player

i understand what you're saying. what i meant was that i find it hard to believe that people say, "wow i'm just not winning and i can't figure out what i'm doing wrong, i should go hire a poker coach (lol) for 500/hr and get this straightened out". and then, they get coached and they automatically turn into a winning player. maybe it happens more than i think, idk i could easily be wrong. i guess i'm biased cause i've never really had a problem winning consistently and even if i did i wouldn't potentially waste even more money on a coach.

Paying $300-500 an hour for a good coach seems a lot of money, but think of how many $300+ pots you'll be involved in over the next month? How many of them you'll lose? How many you'll misplay? If paying a guy $300 for just one hour will cut down your misplayed big pots by just 1, that's already your money back.

That's why a good, reputable coach whom many players can recommend, is worth the money.

10/20 regulars will make you wanna kill yourself.

9-tabling 2/4 is just something to do while you're watching Seinfeld.

There's your difference.
