Yes ! It's possible....

I made the switch to Full Tilt last week and I have been positively destroying the .25/.50 full ring. I'm running at a ridiculous 82.64/100bb for $39.44 per hour ave. I hate to say it, but this level is so exploitable it's almost unfair. In addition I've been dominating the $11.00 (45) mans with 2 wins already and a handful of other top 6 finishes.

As far as the cash games go...it's not as if I'm just running well. I mean this is flat out domination not just a few monster pots I'm talking about here. I also have someone I am sharing risk with who is also killing under my watchful eye. So essentially we are cutting risk/variance in half and doubling our profit potential. We are tracking results meticulously, adhering to strict bankroll management (the 5% rule)

This is way beyond just 'running well' now. The numbers take care of themselves and we are playing low levels and exploiting what quite frankly is some of the worst play I have ever seen. I'm using PO, and almost everybody that plays that limit (.25/.50 NL) is addicted to limping in. Most of the players have a PFR % less than 10% lol talk about weak. Plus I've been running some sick bluffs... and I'm really at the point now where I can almost tell what someone has when they come in for a raise. data mining has definitely been the difference here.

As far as the sit and go's are concerned, I am already very familiar with the 45 man tourney format...and the structure on Full Tilt is waaaaay better than Stars. For an $11.00 buy in....1st is $171 and it pays top 6 instead of top 7 so the odds for a win go from 13 to 1...to > 16 to 1. Thats a pretty nice payout for a tourney that is pretty much chock full of uber donks.

Anyway I am just amazed at how much softer the players on Full Tilt are compared to Stars. I haven't even logged on Stars in almost a week now. I think I made the switch because I was getting really frustrated making it deep in so many huge tourneys lately and coming up just short of the big money over and over, so just decided to lay off MTT's altogether for a while and focus more on lower variance poker.

I'll keep you guys posted. I certainly don't expect to sustain a 82.64/100 rate I know the sample size is too small over a one week period, but almost all the profit isn't from just a few giant pots....most of it is moreless well timed pre flop aggression and selective c-betting... and these players are so passive they don't even fight back. It's almost unfair

almost

thats..insane. my friend has been rocking the .25/50's as well. hes made over $150 just today. i havent been able to get into ring games too much, though i may have to after seeing him rip through them and hearing that you're doing the same.

Its easy to beat those levels if you play tight agressive and not tilt in my opinion and you dont even need 20 buy ins.. thats a ridiculous ammount for micro stakes.. if you play 3/6 then YEs maybe you need 20 buy ins coz of the agression and crazy bluffing but here.. risking 10-20% of your bankroll by multi tabling in my opinion is fine provided you have good skill like you do. ive killed the $100 buy ins on ultimate bet (which is harder than FTP from what i ahve heard).. and made over 1k in 3-4 days only to blow them on blackjack BUT NOT THE POINT.. hehe.. NL Holdem these dayv is very beatable esepcially in the summer with all the students (like me) off uni and thinking they can win. some of them do, but the vast majority are donks who won a couple of home games and think they can beat eveyrone online..

that win rate is from ONE tabling

I know exactly what you mean!! Be very aggressive and people will pay!!

Trouble is, every-time I get somebody all-in with the best hand - they get lucky on the river!! For example I had 2 pair AK and board had 3 hearts on the turn, guy called with Jd9h and got a heart on the river!

what a strategy, you go.

which is why you need 20 buy ins at any level to handle the swings, yes any level it does not matter if its high level or low level.

anyone conceder variance here or are we just going to think this rush is going to go forever, not directed towards you Rip I know you know, more directed towards the comments that followed your post.

nice job ripp, im curious though, how large of a sample size do u have?

only about a weeks worth of hands....almost 1500 hands now. Actually those numbers took a hit this morning....I got all in with AA vs QQ...trapped him perfectly after raising any 2 for about 5 straight hands....he shoves $70.00 I insta called obv...ship the Queen on the river. That brought my bb per 100 ave down to about 45 for now....still a nice start. Oh and I did miss a Queen high flush draw earlier for another 60 bb's or so. Still running mad hot at this level all things considered. I was expecting a few bad beats along the way just had a couple of big ones today that stung a little. Amazing what these guys will call you down with if you are a loose aggressive player. Provided you have decent post flop skills...the .25/.50 level is so crushable its absurd

amen brother. I don't wanna mess with variance no matter how hot I am running and have been sticking to the 5% rule religiously for the most part

Nice one man. Keep it going.

Don't mess with your risk control, keep it super-tight.

Just a caution. When I run super hot I can get a bit careless and the "I'm invincible" thought starts to come in. Bear in mind that 46BB/100 hands is amazing and will probably plateu a bit. Don't mean to bring you down, just keep it level.

Enjoy it while it lasts. Cause it won't

The fact that FT is a lot softer is why I switched from Stars as well.

that's awesome keep up the great work,i have learned alot with your words of knowlege,understanding & wisdom,keep us updated on youre killer plays.

... no comment! thats why iam playing at pokerstars
