I've been at the table for less than 1 orbit. I wanted to see what would happen. The result did not surprise me. I immediately quit. Might play some SNGs or something.

Some players I know I have logged hands against are not showing up in my PT player list...is there a reason for this? I have extended my date range till before I started playing my current limits and have included all limits, am I missing something obvious?

Edit: While I can't see them on the player list (I'm spelling their sn correctly) their states pop up on PAHUD when they are at my table.

So I'm browsing some 50NL tables on Stars and I decide to do a little test of the playerbase, given this awesome table with 9% to flop and 55 hands/hr (which means its not a new table).

Player 1: 9 tabling
Player 2: 7 tabling
Player 3: 20 tabling
Player 4: 12 tabling
Player 5: 8 tabling
Player 6: 11 tabling
Player 7: 14 tabling
Player 8: 12 tabling
Player 9: 4 tabling (FISH FISH FISH)

Can I get a consensus that this is the definite worst time to play? Ok so they're probably not great but I don't want to fight with the 14/12 and 13/10 and 11/9 nits, have a wider range them they have and pick them off until they 3bet me preflop and I have JTs and have to dump, thus wasting the last 4 successful blind steals in one swoop. They're eating up the tables. Blahhhhh.

It was like this at NL200 last night at midnight to 2 am. Its not just a morning thing. I think I'm going to open my game back up. I have been playing really nitty as of late (like 14/11, but it feels like I'm only playing premiums). How do you guys run that [censored] tight permanently.

[chicken10der]

because it wins. a lot.

But growing as a player and moving up nets you more than money than 24 tabling 1/2 nl to make 10k a month when you could be playing 2/4-3/6-5/10 like renton and GM making 30-50k a month. I guess my point is you guys are looking short term I am looking long term.

JF - i understand completely where youre coming from, i think you just value improving more than i do, while i value dollars more. i think i am improving when im 24-tabling, maybe not at the rate you are, but improving nevertheless, while making as much money per hour as possible. in addition, i think the most important next step i take to becoming better and making lots of money will be learning 6-max, not moving up further in full ring, as full ring games can become a little scarce at higher levels. ive never been very good at poker, but i could always multi-table pretty well, and im okay with that.

You are right on pattay. I give all you guys much respect for doing it and I am not saying you guys can't play poker good. I am jsut saying and even the main said it earlier youre bb/100 is gonna drop and you aren't going to be "playing poker" as much as you would say at like 10-12 tables. For me personally I wanna grow as a better player right now and work on buiding my roll to atleast 20k. I have a job and make more than enough to live on and I make some cash outs for travel/fun money. I am not even sure if I do make it to Renton or GM's level say like this time next year I will quit my job but who knows. Right now it is pretty cool to be making the kinda money I am playing poker and still have a job. My only point to you guy's and I may be totaly wrong is make sure your are still growing as a player. To me I wouldn't want to have to depend on rake back to make it. Brining in a few g's a month in rake back is great but I really think winning 10k+ a month should be any pro players real goal. Gl guy's and keep us posted on the 18+ tabling thing it really is quite impressive.
