With 9 winning sessions in a row at .25/.50 LHE, I'm probably getting over confidant, leading to a severe setback just round the corner. Not all tables during these sessions showed good, and the total winnings isn't spectacular, but it has brought my overall ring $/hr rate close to my tourney $/hr rate.
Currently 4 tabling, 6 max (fast tables) LIMIT, my stack shows good (up) as soon as I can calm down the confusion of having 4 tables suddenly demanding my attention. At this point my HUD is only marginally helpful (the action is fast), and for me, now, I can't deal with any more tables. From all I've read, I'll get used to this soon, and add 2 more tables.
My stats tend to show that I start fast and usually drop roll until that calm comes. Then my stats drop, and the games seem very straightforward. Players come in typically, drop $5 or $10 in 20 minutes and go, replaced by another clone.
This is my first serious run at ring and the grind factor is certainly less glamorous than tourney play. BTW my tourney play seems to have tanked.
So my first questions are;
During your sessions, how many of your tables show bad?
I have barely noticed a dif between .10/.20 and these .25/.50 tables play wise. Is there something I'm missing? And what might I look for at .50/1.00? Or the next levels?
And beyond the scope of this topic, and way general to successful poker, Do you profittable players find that you need to change games occasionally to remain engaged, or are there some of you who are grinding a living out day after day at the same stakes ?
