100 * $ 2.00 = 200.00 = 10,000 BB
10,000 BB/ (10,000 hands/100=100) = 100 BB/100
Stats, graph & screen caps please!

It's all available in the fx cash thread. https://www.cardschat.com/forum/poker-goals-challenges-wins-46/
I was a consistent winner @2nl but not a huge one. My win rate was just under 3BB(6bb)/100 so I by no means crushed the game. In a nutshell beecause of all the crazy variance and suckouts I ended up becoming a nit and tried to avoid marginal situations., i.e. not playing out of position, not playing dominated hands,etc. but in reading some of the things players who made huge profits @ 2nl I now realize that big winners did so by seeing a lot of flops and when they flopped monsters could get called on 3 streets by worse hands.
I do think a nitty approach works for someone who is:
- new to poker and lacks confidence in their abilities
- has a very limited amount of bankroll to play with.
- is easily prone to tilt.

"Oh yah, & I'm not using a HUD."
"tables at 888Poker."
What is a 'screen cap'?
Your math is correct. My calculations were done once I actually finally discovered how pts. are calculated on 888Poker which helped to figure out roughly how many hands I've played (# of pts. 'on avg.' I'm picking up per hr., knowing how many tables I've been on & what the avg. hands/hr. is on those tables...... so it's a rough estimate at best.... but not far off from bein' accurate).
p.s. Haven't bothered playing any of it this week. I think the 2nl bug has left me for now.

I made around $10 grinding the .01/.02 tables the past 2 weeks. Had someone shove all in on a KcTcTd board with 7s9s
For 'fun' on 888Poker 2nl tables, I've open-shoved 100+bb's with AA & gotten called 80% of the time. (same with 3bet &/or 4bet shoving preflop).{< actually did this regularly for 2days in-a-row playing on there... lots of fun! lol} Sometimes winnning 10buyins in 10mins. Time of day seems to make a BIG difference (as alot of them are Euros so I find it's best to play when it's after 6pm in Euro time). I also think it's due to 888Poker handing out the freebie $8 to all new players..... many of them have absolutely no clue (& those that do can't imagine that someone with AA would just open-shove 100bb's.... I mean why would anyone do that? You risk losing a ton of value. Exactly.. that's why I was doing it... in hopes they'd be thinking I'd never be doing that with AA. Sometimes after they'd call I'd type in chatbox.. "of course I've got 'AA'.. what else would I ever have in that spot?" (lots of fun!)

That's a great strategy I try to employ too, but it gets annoying as hell when someone shoves and you've got kings or queens, because they probably have worse. I love rush, but I just think people use it as an excuse to shove haha.
I know I've been in the position where I should have called a hand because I probably had it won, but I don't have the bankroll to be calling shoves left and right, especially in rush where the next good hand comes much sooner than a regular cash table.

What kind of a "graph" am I gonna show from 888Poker? (w/o using a HUD?)
Why would I say this if it wasn't true? It's not like it's some astronomical brag ffs. I mean come on.. it's frigg'n 2nl.
88Poker is has ALOT of reallyyyyy weak players on it & many others who are happy to get it in 100bb's deep with ATo, etc. I've ran up 10buyins in 2orbits before on there.
Was just doin' calculations based on # of player pts. earned & takes like 250hands at 2nl to get 1pt. (on average).
Was also posting this for others who play 2nl on sites that they might want to try playing on somewhere like 888Poker instead of where they're playing now (CC also putting on some big freerolls there for anyone who deposits).

Well variance is your biggest enemy at 2nl, to run up 100Bi's in 10k hands even at 2nl is impressive...
if your really doing that, than keep playing that haha no need to move up if your making 200$ every 10k hands (which is around a week for me atleast)
and I said I believe you, just saying it would be sick to see a garf of that
