mtdesmoines 3 Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 There may be a couple fewer seated ATMs at your average 2/5 table than there are at your average 1/2 table, but after thousands of hours of live play in both games, I really have not seen more than a marginal skill difference between 1/2 and 2/5. So as long as you could find good CAPPED buy in games, why play 1/2? Also, I think $40/hr is not totally unrealistic in a place like Vegas if you were a hit and run master and knew the floor in every room and got on tables without waiting, etc etc etc. The only bad part is the waiting lists, and distance between rooms.

vbnautilus 48 Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 sorry if i came off wrong earlier guys, just was irritated at some stupid posters who contribute zero to my questions. I see some of them still post (they must have no life)I think in general (in General?) the kind of responses one gets to a thread tend to match the quality of the original post. There is likely something in the way you have posted that evoked this kind of response. This is if i run good of course, if i run bad and hit a downswing then there is no chance in hell, but i do think its possible. I think if your a great player and can dominate that level youd be surprised at how much u can earnI think this part shows some naivete and makes me skeptical that you actually played for a living for any considerable amount of time. If you are talking about the long run, you must assume that you will run very very badly for some amount of time at some point, and that probably it will be worse than you can imagine. There is no chance in hell that you won't hit a downswing at some point. That's just the way it works. That's why people don't believe that this winrate can be sustained.

riggggged 0 Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 VBNAUTILUS thank you for the response. Yes I completely agree with what your saying downswings are inevevitable. Me and a buddy were just arguing if it were possible to make 40$/hr at 1/2nl in vegas if u can crush the game. I think it is. Downswings happen you cant play poker for a living and not go thru a downswing, its impossible. By downswing im not talking ur small downsings tho. By downsing im talking 6 month downsings or more which could happen. So i guess it depends on what you consider a downsing. Month to month variance imo is not considered a downswing i.e losing months Link to post Share on other sites

cubsfan44 0 Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 It's also important to your 1/2 win rate to not tilt.A+ As for retard boy....The reason you are not getting many 'real' answers is cause anyone that is as good as you claim to be would already know that winning $40 an hour at 1/2....Wherever it is....Is...Wait for it.......Wait for it..........Impossible. And further more I would rather gouge my eyes with flaming sticks then sit at a 1/2 game for 8 hours a day 6 days a week to squeek out a pittance of a living. Grind your local 1/2 game untill you have a bankroll and can consistently beat 5/10 and up and then maybe consider moving to Vegas to attain your Matt Damon from Rounders little dreams. There is a reason that no one plays 1/2nl for a living and it has nothing to do with skill. As far as your little head up for rollz challenge that I know is coming in your next post because of your inability to say "Hmmm I may be wrong about this whole 1/2nl for a living thing." I politely decline Link to post Share on other sites
