Message: [QUOTE="Crystal Blue, post: 1132583, member: 46561"] Great challenge and I wish you every success. I would like to ask you a few questions if you don't mind, to do with your thoughts mainly from what I have observed from your graphs. Your answers might give some of us a better idea of how to approach and deal with the many hurdles we might face during a sustained run at the tables, thanks. During Feb you played 12k hands at $5NL, and the first 10K hands were more or less break even. What advice would you give to the frustrated novice/learning player who perhaps wonders if he/she will ever get over that "start to make a profit" hurdle keeping in mind that perhaps 10K hands might be quite a decent amount of hands for them to have played up to this point. Also, what thoughts were going through your mind at the time. By the start of March you were 12K hands in, and about $33 in profit. During the first 8 days of March you generated a very nice 14 buy-in profit of about $70 over 9K hands. Do you feel that you needed those first 10K-12K hands at the beginning of your challenge to get your eye-in so to speak, and become adequately accustomed to the level of play. By mid March you were 5 weeks into your challenge with about 35K hands under your belt. You had a brief stab at $10NL but moved back down to $5NL because you are using stringent BRM. You then started playing $10NL in earnest 6 weeks into your challenge with about 42K hands under your belt. Similar to the first question, what advice would you give to the newish player regarding the frustrations of trying to move up a level. Also, what were your own thoughts, say, 40K hands and 6 weeks into your challenge and still having to play at $5NL. Thanks in advance. [/QUOTE]
