Alright, I know, I know. "Not enough hands, come back when you have 100K"

I'm just wondering if this looks god-awful terrible, or would cause one to ask certain questions such as (why are you playing 2-4 or 3-6 when you can't even beat 1-2)

Would be somewhat helpful to see the rest of the line, including your raise %. It seems like you may be getting eaten up by the blinds a bit given your relatively low VPIP, but really tough to tell as it could just be a cold deck over a lot of that time.

I haven't played the 1/2 in a while but I think you can profitably play a few more hands in that game because it is usually fairly passive on 3rd and the implied odds are so big when you hit.

The less hands you are playing the more you win, so playing more hands may or may not be the answer.

It may be interesting to look at the 1/2 game and see if you started as a big loser and are now beating it, but haven't over-come your initial loss.

Unless he is getting ante'd away or passing up +EV opportunities. When I played the 1/2 on FT, I was up over 2BB/100 playing in the 25-26 VPIP range over 12K hands (yes, sample size)...It doesn't hurt you as bad to limp with a bunch of hands that you wouldn't dream of playing in a higher game.

You have a good chance of beating that game playing very few hands, but I think you can beat it for more by opening up a little, especially if you play the extra hands correctly....also realize I am only talking an extra 3% or so, I'm not saying to start playing 35-40%.

Because the rake is less of a factor and the players aren't much better? I would think that $3/6 would be a better spot than $1/2 for a lot of players.

You missed my points on this matter before. They still apply. The 44% means a lot, but I might sound rude if I gave u a honest answer; so review that area.
