2.5bb/hour at a full ring game is like 5bb/100 hands. Good luck getting anything near that at any limit above 2/4. Though even 1bb/hour is still avery good wage at the upper limits.Personally I don't think I could handle playing professionally even with gerat skills. "Going to work" and losing money constantly during a downswing would break me mentally.all you have to do is beat the PartyPoker 15/30 game for 2 1/2 BB an hour -
Limit holdem swings can be like that, especially shorthanded games. You might average 3bb/100 hands, but that will be an average over many sessions that go: +100bbs, -90bbs, +120bbs, -100bbs, etc.Your swings do seem rather high though, even considering what I just said.

I've decided to boycott Pokerroom (after I clear this latest reload bonus..) since their new messed up (and higher) rake method. I've seen $8 4-way pots raked $0.80 which is absolute garbage.
-
As long as you don't withdraw after they start offering the reload bonus, you're fine.

Me ruv beat up on weak tighties too!I'm reasonably loose, and pretty aggressive. Semi-loose aggressive-aggressive. -
Playing hand for hand near the bubble solves most stalling problems. Another why reason pokerstars' tournies are better than most other sites.

Last night at a B&M 3/6 kill game I had someone bet/3bet/call me on the river with two pair against my flopped nut flush. 'nuff said.

That was interesting. I think I ended up +$25 or something, classified as reliable, bossy and more skilled than donkish.

I'm in kind of the same boat, been stuck at about 6k forever now. I've only ventured as high as 3/6 fixed limit HE though, and I still feel most comforable at full ring 2/4 where I book the largest and most consistant wins (in bb's).I've recently started to branch out into other games, playing some Stud8, 6-max LHE and more PLO. It hasn't made me any more money (pretty much break even at Stud8 and 6-max over a week) but it has changed up my routine and made things a little more interesting.

Out in 124th. AKs couldn't out run QQ.
-
I hit a peak of 15th with 2x the average chip count, then got sucked out on a couple times (one runner-runner flush) and dropped to about 15k. Redeemed myself with a decent play before the break, at 21k now.(average stack is 26k)

I'm (still) playing. About 200 people left (top 63 paid), and I'm sitting about average in chips in 75th place.

I really don't see much benefit to checking in the dark. I read somewhere about this one guy (non-professional) who hated playing out of position against a pro, so he'd always check in the dark when first to act heads up.Betting in the dark I could see as beneficial. In the 2003 WSOP there was a moment where a guy in the SB had KQ and it was folded around to him. He decided to just complete the blind and see what the BB would do. When the BB checked, he decided to bet 2/3 of the pot in the dark.If you're the BB in that spot, you see that the guy declined to bet before the flop and now is going to bet the flop no matter what. I'd say that makes it much harder to continue without hitting a flop given that it's likely he limped with a good/monster hand hoping to get reraised preflop.

I always thought running it again meant putting the burn and community card(s) back, shuffling, then doing it again. But in DN's blog entry there he mentioned that it isn't done that way. I've never seen it done IRL myself.

It opened up a few minutes after the 3B hand hit. Closed now. Says it's at midnight EST tommorow.. That is an ugly time for a freeroll :(EDIT: nevermind they fixed it.. starts in an hour.

Try re-reading my post and not picking out a 5-word quote then taking it out of context.
this is an ignorant statement, saying you would NEVER lay down kings in a tournament is such a foolish thing to saybest of luck to you thoughI'd never lay down kings, -
In a NL cash game I haven't, but I could see times when I would. When a guy with a pre-flop raise % under 5 reraises after you/others have shown strength and the stacks are deep, it's not a bad idea to fold it.In a tournament I wouldn't ever lay them down unless it was an early level (very deep stacks) in a large buyin event. Against random donkies in online MTTs, I'd never lay down kings, even if there were 2 all ins before me on the first hand.

Why choose limit over NL? Easy...Limit offers far more opportunities for the fish to make mistakes against you, especially post-flop (where most of the money is made). And on those hands where a fish gets a lucky turned straight/set or an ugly flopped 2 pair, you loose the minimum (extra 1-2 bets) instead of a large portion of your stack.In NL, even the fish can camp for hands then go all in hoping for a caller when they hit something. It's been said by a number of pros that the ability to go all in (though usually in a tournament context) reduces the handicap that poor players have against good ones. See also Sklansky's all in system (in an old card player article but also in his tournament poker book).

41st. All in with a pair of 10's, got called by AJo and KTo and didn't hold up.

I just donked half my chips with a steal attempt (after a late position limper) and a continuation bet. Limper had K7o for a turned 2 pair. (I folded the turn unimproved)

I was thinking along the same kind of lines a while ago, but with a twist.Heads up play, Player 1 has magic goggles to see the flop before it comes, and then while the flop betting is going on, he can see the future turn and river cards.Player 2 sees both his own and Player 1's hole cards. (Player 1's hand is tabled for all to see, Player 2's is just for him/her to see). Betting rounds as normal.It could create some interesting bluff situations. "What you raise me with 84s?!". Since Player 1 can only see the flop during pre-flop action maybe he knows he hits a flush, 2 pair.. But he wouldn't see the turn/river until the flop comes, so he wouldn't know if he had a likely winning hand until then.I think player 1 being able to see all 5 community cards at once is too much of an advantage. Although even with just flop, then later, turn/river knowledge, I think player 1 is in a much better spot.
