Alone in the Dark - The poker musings of an also ran

[Longines]

I think you're right to a degree but it's a bell curve. The question is which stakes are at the top of the curve?

[mondatoo]

I'm developing a theory, it goes like this...

The higher the stakes, the more likely the players will be loose / aggressive / lairy / creative, call it what you will... The more likely it is that plodding donkey, old bloke stylee poker will make a profit.

Moving up so they respect my backraises

its always been the same sir. totally agree with this but the best players adapt. if you sit at a table of like minded rocks then you open up your own game to take advavtage of your table. conversely if you are sat at a table of players firing off like a gatling gun we sit and wait to let our cannon off and blow em away. each player is unique and each hand different. if we pidgeon hole too much then our game becomes weak and exploitable. ha ha says me who treats everyone like an idiot until proved otherwise

Over the last 20 hours playing two tables 6 man stt's I'm €200 up.

That's €10 Ph. (About €5ph more than I'm qualified to earn).

Can I sustain this level of success? In other words, can I crush the game at this level?

How big a sample size do I need?

So you have played about 50?

Multiply that by 40 and you have a decent(ish) sample.

Give up your job and play for a living imo, a couple of hundred quid a day should be easy.....

Taking shots.......


I've been playing €10 STT's,  but I accidentally reg'd for a €100 one. Didn't realise until after it started. 

Came 2nd. Phew! 

Made my heart beat faster though.....
