Message: [QUOTE="TPC, post: 1582886, member: 46273"] You're expecting way too much after only two months. You mentioned you are playing the micros, So I'm not sure exactly what you are playing. You're not rolled for much cash game wise so I assume you are playing 2nl. $6 up in a 2nl session is huge. It doesn't seen like a lot, but 5 big bets per 100 hands is an acceptable win rate for 2nl. A bet bet is two big blinds. So for 2nl you are looking at 20 cents per 100 hands. Figure about 70 hands an hour and just to keep the math simple and assuming your win rate wouldn't suffer by adding more tables (which doesn't happen, usually the more tables you add, your win rate will drop,but your hourly rate will increase.) you would be looking at 700 hands an hour which would be .20 x 7 = $1.40. So what that means if it were a perfect world you would be making $1.40 an hour playing 10 tables at the same time of 2nl. I'm just trying to put that in perspective for you. You are looking at things in terms of money and what the money means in the real world. With that mind set $6 isn't shit. And you're right, it's not. But you need to realize what limits you are playing. You can't play 2nl and think you'll win $20 an hour, even $6 and hour. It's just not going to happen. Even the $1.40 an hour I came up with is going to be a stretch at 2nl. You need to think in terms of buyins and big blinds. And use that to gauge your performance. Rather than to think damn I played six hours and only made a measly six bucks. Well, averaging a dollar an hour at 2nl is really, really good and probably not a sustainable win rate over a large sample, but that's another topic. I'm just trying to put things in prospective. I believe you are expecting way too much in the way of monetary gain for the limits you are playing. [/QUOTE]
