I'm trying to grind my way up through the micros but it's just not as easy for me as some people say it is for them. I 6 table .2/.4 on carbon and i pretty much make around $.50-$1 per day with an occasional losing day. I usually run around 500 hands or so per evening. I feel like I'm really maturing as a player, making better folds, calls, and raises at the right times but even then it still seems like I'm moving at a snail's pace. The players at this limit are ridiculous obviously. They never throw away draws and hold top pair regardless. I bet hard but they just hang in there even when their pot odds are awful lol(if they even know what pot odds are). Another issue I have is the big pp's. It always seems the entire tables will fold if you raise 3x pre with a big pp but if you raise any less you get a bunch of callers who catch and take you to the house. How can you make money off that situation? I'm not tilting at all I'm just kinda like what's the point? I'd like to add a little more fundage to my account but I'm saving every copper I make to go to dealer school(I have enough for the school just not enough for gas, food, housing yet) Also proper bankroll management only allows me to buy in for the minimum buy-in. Could this possibly be why when I win those big hands it seems like it's not really worth it? Should I start playing with 10% of my roll? It's risky indeed but I seem to double up more than I lose huge bets. Then my double up just dwindles after awhile. Let me know what you guys think. Any advice is appreciated. Thanks!
