That's what I did with my old laptop, but this one didn't have the right drivers the guy said. I just got it a few weeks ago specifically for poker. I got 2 gigs of RAM and the best video card they had, meant for gaming. Yet the video card failing a few times a session (that's not a huge problem, just like 5 seconds where I see black then it flashes back on) and once every few sessions the entire thing freezes. I'm pretty sure I'm gonna see if I can just manually install all the drivers for XP because this is seriously tilting me so hard.

All the letters are too small to read, but the line has an upward slope, which is a good thing .

Combu, Ice, I want to throw my hat in the ring for worst Feb. It started off great and then it looks like a four year old took over.

It could be worse.
It could like my graph.

Hmmm, you're a big spender, combu. If my graph takes enty's anywhere it will be to the park to much on the geese food @ $.25 per pop.

Approaching a BR mark where I am considering taking shots at 25nl. For the record, and not to rub it in, I am running very well this month at 10nl. Anyone want to suggest some numbers to work with as for taking shots at the next level? For instance, how many BI's to have/set aside/when to drop back down?

it's like cambodia; the killing field's uptown

My graph is very expensive to take out on a date.
Basically it will cost you about 13BB/100 over 7.6k hands...

How many buy-ins you have now? If you're ok with it being a shot you could go with 20/15 but it'd probably be safer/more comfortable going the 25/20 or at least like 23/18. I like to give myself at least 5 buy-ins for shots.

Very close to 30 BI's...maybe I'm being to nitty, just always have been with my BR. Is 30/25 a bad idea?

 

[Monoxide]

30 BI is so rolled for 25nl.

Move up already.

 

[blankoblanco]

It's all about comfort zone. If you feel comfortable that you are solidly beating 10nl then I'd move up. 30/25 is probably good because although it's possible to lose 5+ buy-ins without doing anything wrong you probably don't want to keep playing after losing 5 because you'll be tilting a bit most likely.

But yeah if you feel good about your game I'd move up and start raking in the dough. gl man.

the blood of saints drenches you

Guyz I have 64 buy-ins for 2nl, when should I make the move to 5nl? I heard the regs there are brutal.

 

[feitr]

Actually, I dont mind the chk on that flop with the nuts. But Ice ffs stop with the 'I run worst than anyone!', PLZ!

Well hands with a big suited card will call, you get action from all the pair + flush draw hands, 2 pair and a set will stack off, etc. Another spade kills action from alot of these and can even kill action from small flopped flushes. By giving a free card the pot remains tiny so you win a small pot with the nuts unless you get a cooler situation.

And ya i totally agree with the non-stop complaining. Pretty soon ppl are going to start posting bad beats where they were actually a dog when the money went in :S

I don't think you encounter "regs" until at least nl25.

Shrog I played 25nl with a whopping 11 buyins. I would honestly recommend 20 , so take your shot with whatever you got (28-30) and drop down if you get to 20. Go go go!
