The fact the micro promo only includes up to 10nl is a joke!

I really dont understand how people can do that. Just move up and own the next level, it cant be that different, unless it was for a bet ofcourse

well maybe there's no reason too if he beats 25nl super hard and maybe like be breakeven or w.e. at 50nl. Im not sure though, I swear I haven't played a hand with him yet lol!

That's a lotta hands and a lotta money.

My aims for July:
- Play 231k hands.
- Make $4.2k.

Just kidding.
I think I'll settle for:
- Have positive winrate at NL10 SH.
- Don't play at all drunk.

Yeah that's pretty interesting. But he must have played almost non-stop. 231k hands is like 7.7k a day. I seem to remember from my short-stacking days that you can just about get 1k hands an hour with 20ish tables. So he must be putting in pretty long sessions each day to make up those hands.

Mental. He'd probably make more money playing less tables at a higher level?

Sorry if I ever told you to die in a grease fire. Although I surely meant it at the time, I hold no lasting ill will toward you. :)

That's funny. I'm not offended. I was new to the game and was happy to have any strategy that wasn't: "Call, Call, Call... oh I lost". In defence of shorting it is a good way to learn some parts of the game: Patience, Starting Hand Selection, Basic Stats. You get to see plenty of action with minimum exposure.

On the other hand it ruins your game and takes ages to get over cbetting EVERY flop. I'm glad FT and PS changed their buyin rules and forced me to learn short hand. Much more fun.

It's been a long time since I've posted in these threads. Now that I am playing Rush, I can actually play a good amount of hands in a short time. I am setting some modest goals this month:

1. 10K hands (about 20 hours of play for me, don't have much time this month)
2. Break even minimum (earning cash would be nice)
3. Earn bronze during Rush week, and get two payouts from the Deposit bonus, so at least I am making some headway.
