mln_falcon 0 Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 No wonder this thing has 2 million views already. I've seen it linked in 5-6 different threads on this board alone and multiple times in a couple of threads.Truth, I've clicked on a few links just to have it come up again. I was going to change that sentence but decided not to. Link to post Share on other sites
Merby 3 Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 LOL-tastic session at NLHE($0.50) HU. A super agro-donk decided to donate 6 buyins to me in the span of ~20 minutes and 90 hands. Sadly, I am still having troubles getting HEM to work on my new computer, so no graphs to follow (yet...)Fun hands to follow. Link to post Share on other sites

Merby 3 Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 I could post some more. There were a couple of "hero" calls he made with Q-high and A-high into my flush and overpair respectively, but it suffices to say it was a fun and easy 20 minutes of play.Congrats JC for going in the red...

PrtyPSux 0 Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 thanks guys...Yea, thats why I was asking about the rake thing....I figure my hourly might be bigger now playing tons of tables at lower stakes, than just 2 or 3 HU or whatever...I tried playing as many tables as I could for a couple hours just to see what I could do right off the bat and get an idea for what's more profitable... for some reason it only let me play 8 cash tables, played 1k hands at 100nl 6 max, raked like $65 and won less than a buy in. Meh. It's very tough in 6 max, I figured cascading the tables would be the best way to go with one monitor and no mouse (I'm not home) but maybe tile works better cuz I was ****ing up a bunch. Any lag or disco or anything else that ****s up your rhythm and you lose a ton. 100nl seems fairly easy, but I dont know if I can 10 or 12 table and still beat 200 or 400 unless it's ring.Then I tried sit n go's, played 10 in 1 hr, 55+5, some 6 max most ring....I tried tile and it was fine, I won like 300 or something and raked $50. Like rdog said, sit n gos scoop better rake, they're also easier to play a ton of tables but uggggh they're sooo boring. Also I dont even know if I'm good enough at them to beat the $200's or $500's, which is what I'd eventually want to do if I was 10 tabling these things. Plus idk if they even run often enough to 10 table.Tomorrow I'm gonna try some HU cash and sng's , maybe some 1/2 full ring. Link to post Share on other sites

dlingdling 0 Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 question for the math guys...Assuming I could ease my way into 12-15 tabling and winning at smaller stakes like 100nl and 200 nl....learn to beat $200 or $500 sit n gos playing as many tables as I can....4 table HU cash at like 1/2 or 2/4.... or maybe 4 table HU sng's at like $200s or maybe $500's. What do you guys think would generate more rake? Lets say I play 6 hrs a day 25 days a month or something, which would be the most profitable in terms of rake? I dont have any database and even though I have an idea of what the numbers would be, I think I might be miscalculating. thanks.Congrats on the red pro status. From what I hear, the $200+ sng's are breakeven at best as play is pretty optimized, so you'd be sacrificing a cashgame winrate to collect your rakeback. Rake's also lower as a % of buyin. If a sng lasts 60-75 minutes, my guess is that you'd generate more rake on a comparable cash table.Low stakes HU cash is supposed to generate pretty substantial rake. 6-max churns rake at a nice pace. Though your edge might be higher HU, you're still a big favorite at 6-max and you'd be able to play more tables.*math not guaranteed as it's all based on heresay and suggested by a microstakes donk.
