Saturday

So

When do I quit my day job? I need to average at least $1k per week pokering to do so. At 200NL that's still quite a grind. Consider $20/100 (5PTBB) I would have to play 5,000 hands. Um, actually, that's not so bad at all. However, 5PTBB @ 400NL is obviously eminently preferable, or even 5PTBB @ 600. However, equally as obvious, I probably don't have a 10BB winrate at 600NL. Probably. Say my winrate was 5BB/100 @ 600NL, 7.5BB/100 @ 400NL, & 10BB/100 @ 200NL my best option is to play 400NL until I could sustain a better winrate at the 600s. However, if I can only manage a poor 5BB/100 @ 400NL then I am best off grinding the 200s, even though I could win the same amount in half the hands at the next level. Why? Because as I improve my winrate at 400NL will hopefully increase substantially. Etc.

I would say I'll be able to give notice by the end of June, however, I may be overly optimistic. Meh, we'll see.

Um, run hot much? 5PTBB @ 1kNL, 10PTBB @ 2kNL, and $14k from running stupidly hot at 2kPL/600NL. I love the fact that he ran so hot at 2kNL that he made almost as much as at 1kNL playing 1/5th the hands. Whatever, I'm not jealous but I seriously doubt that he can sustain 10PTBB/100 @ 2kNL. Means he's stacking someone every 500 hands. Good for him, though, I just hope I can run that good some day.
