for me its less variance but at the same time enough variance to not be breakeven forever. make any sense?
Cause like if im playing 10NL 100bb deep instead of 10NL 20 bb deep,it can get pretty boring esp if everything goes raise, c bet fold etc etc

i hear you man. Ive searched everywhere for info on how its best to play this format and everyones saying exactly what your saying.Meaning the rake is unbeatable. My sample size is obviously small and as you said, i am playing for fun but it really seems like there is money to be made.
Sidenote. I always say there is money to be made everytime i rungood somewhere and then i come back with a downswing and i dont play it anymore.
Thanks for the reply duggs.

because this guy is a complete whale and he never folds. I mean never. I have notes on him with the calls he has made preflop to jams and there are hands like 68 off, K8s, A5 off etc etc. But on top of that he will call us here with any PP, the Jack, (obviously all 8's but its unlikely), and any Ace with a good kicker. Also he is losing more than 200$ in the 250 hands i have on him.
To top it off our line looks very bluffy like we are on a draw and are looking for folds. Or a badly played AK in a desperate attempt to get a fold.
It just seemed like the right play. Jamming flop in this format will get calls from second pairs alot of the time also any PP on this flop will call us here maybe 30-40% of the time just cause we jam and look bluffy.
Sure i could have just Cbet like 50% which is standard, but versus this villain i dont think hes ever folding anything ever.
Gonna go look up the 68 hand he called with pre and post it .
Same guy. So as u can see ,there is history that hes a total maniac.

duugs ,if u want, i reccomend trying it out . I mean like just use 50$ ( 5 buy ins )and go give it a shot. Im pretty sure that you are gonna crush. (assuming you dont take any mega bad beats). It's really easy and mega soft esp today cause its sunday and its fish central everywhere on stars.

shhhhhhhhhhh. 😛😛😛😛 Weather here is very good. Going to the beach and trying to get myself a tan. Doing alot of going out,real life stuff and have put poker on the side for a bit. Frankly im kinda tired of the grind.
Not saying im not playing my occasional spin and go or tourney but nothing serious.
Ive put a little volume into spin n goes lately.(volume meaning around 150 of them playing them 1 or 2 at a time maximum ) and went pretty well.
Other than that nothing to post really.
'
Heres my monthly SNG chart. Hit nice prizes in the 7$ ones and won too which was fun.
In reality im looking forward to playing a few events in the SCOOP which is starting on the 8th of May.
Gonna be playing some pretty sick 200-700$ buy in progressive ones that ive put my eye on. Might be selling some action to some close friends of mine who like coming over to my house and playing mtt's with me.
Ill update once i have anything interesting to post. In the meantime ,im just lurking your thread and a few other cash threads that i like following.
Thanks fig.
as far as the heads up cap games that i was playing at the beginning of the month. Am not playing that anymore as there is never anyone playing them anymore. the lobbie died and it kind of got tiring to be honest.
cap games 50 NL==1 person🙄🙄🙄

Hey guys,
I know nobodys following this thread anymore because it got boring and im all over the place. 50NL heads up(SERIOUSLY!!?),spin N goes, tournaments, you name it ,ive played it.
Did i win? sometimes i did and sometimes i didnt. This year has treated me kind in general and im winning WAY more than i have ever won but the thing is i cashed out everything i had left and decided to get back to the cash grind.
No more tournaments,spin n goes, heads up etc etc.
Starting at the bottom and getting back to where it all started .
CASH GAMES.
So heres the deal. I left 50$ in my account yesterday morning and decided to start from scratch. Im gonna start at 2NL like the good old days. Crush it and play strictly cash games for the rest of the year.
Goal is to turn the inital 50$ into millions.
I know as a fact that i can crush everything up to 10NL for sure so im gonna build limit by limit.
Im not doing it for the money as the money this low is not worth much. Im gonna do it just because i want to have a goal or a hobbie if you will, to kill my free time and see where it goes.
Started yesterday playing 2NL and managed to get in around 5K hands till today.
No more aggrotard lines etc etc. good old solid poker and gonna crush souls as it says in the thread title which i made a few years back.
This is what i have so far. Roll is currently at around 83 $ or so and i will be switching to 5NL when its at 120$. Gonna be using a 24-25 buy in rule and if i drop to 20BI's im moving down.
14 BI upswing WOOT WOOT😛
This is what i have so far since yesterday. 2NL is soooooo easy that i could easily be living off this limit if I lived somewhere where 2$ meant anything.

I like your BRM schedule. It's aggressive in moving up, but still safe from busto.vinylspiros said:
I use the very same schedule. 😀
What site are you playing? And how many tables / how many hours do you play to get 4.5K hands in a day?
TimovieMan said:
playing on stars. Im playing strictly zoom and im 3 tabling as i feel like thats the best way to go for me in order to not lose focus and be on my A-game.
When you 3 table zoom you get in around 700 hand an hour on average so if you play like 4-5 hours a day thats easily around 3-4 k hands.
This is very impressive crushing, 2nl zoom on stars isn't as easy as some think. The red line is good without being too aggro, it looks like you have found that middle ground we talked about.
Way to go man but let's see how the Borg adapt when they get a decent amount of hands on you. I shall be interested to see if you can sustain the win rate.
I was thinking of that scoop FT you made noticing that series starts again soon. How much better are you now than back then!
I have said it before don't underestimate your own abilities, you are a fine player with plenty of gears to your game.
Update just for comparison last time I posted on 2nl zoom I beat it at 16.5 bb/100 over an 8k hand sample. (from my post on last years stats on 02/01/16).

Fig your a good guy. Thanks for your kind words as thy are very motivating.
Im waiting for the 8th of May for the SCOOP to begin to play some events. Im obviously going to be depositing for those events and will not be using my current cash game bankroll. Hope i can win the endless flips required to run good in these events. Hope lady luck is kind.
16.5BB is a good winrate for 2 NL but i really think that 20BB and above is sustainable. Gonna put in some more volume and see how it goes.
Nothing better than 6max cash games man. Haven't posted any hands as they are all pretty easy and haven't come across any puzzling weird spots so far.

Vin Y U NO stick with 2-10nl and grind, im pretty sure that with volume you can put and numbers you are able to make you can have pretty nice side income playing micro cash, i know that you easily get bored with playing it but if you just could manage to overcome the boredom and think of it as a side job, you might get some nice money doing that...
