Default High Stakes Suck!

I have made a run at high limits and have ended up with a more than decent month (check highstakesdb for results). I've come to discover that it's very difficult to deal with the swings and beats in big pots and the edge is very small among all the players there. I'd say there are only three players I wouldn't give action to who play on FTP on a consistent basis. Even so, the edge I feel I have on others is still extremely small if any. I'm just making this post to say that I'm going to step down and return to MSNL for the time being. Laugh at me if you want when you see me at 5/10 but I think it's great for my mental health to do so.

sxz18 out.

Flame away!

Hi, I want to become a highstakes player, but some say (like you) it is not that easy.

I started out playing 50$ SNGS, but decided, I will stick to cash. What would you suggest I do? I want to become a pro like Phil Hellmuth and play highstakes cash games. How ca I get there?

Thanks.

I disagree. Granted FTP does have some really tough games but if you put enough time and effort, you can beat MSNL and lower.
