So yesterday I started with $1, ended up with $11.15 after 211 hands. (1000% increase?)
To prove it, here you go:
I'd put a graph, but I am not sure how to do that yet.
Penny table hi/lo players are typically pretty passive and very bad. For example, check out this premium poker playing:
(Pot is $0.34)
*** FLOP *** [4h Td Kd]
ctoastyme: bets $0.02
TAN3sui: folds
ExitZero: folds
HERO: raises $0.04 to $0.06
ctoastyme: calls $0.04
*** TURN *** [4h Td Kd] 
ctoastyme: bets $0.02
First of all, TWO PEOPLE fold to the 2 cent bet in a 34 cent pot? 17:1 on your money?? WOW POT ODDS.
THEN, the guy makes ANOTHER continuation bet of 2 cents? terrible playing. I ended up winning the pot with a set. And thats just one example of the bad playing, believe me there was a lot more.
The first few hands were a bit aggravating. I had to fold many decent hands just because of how little 50 BB is to play with. In other words, I couldnt draw to less than absolute premium hands. For example:
Dealt to HERO [2s Qs As 7s]
*** FLOP *** [Ac 8c Ah] ($0.20 pot, 5 players)
HERO: checks
Clemens22: checks
stormyeyesC: bets $0.20
bayucca: raises $0.20 to $0.40
Rat214: calls $0.40
HERO: folds
Kind of tight fold, but not really. I was 90% sure I was beat. The winner of the hand:
stormyeyesC: shows [4s Kd Ad Kc] (HI: a full house, Aces full of Kings)
WHATAFOLD!!!
Not that I folded every single time I didnt have the nuts. This hand I was positive I was ahead, even on a scary board:
Dealt to HERO[Kc Ah 4s As]
Aziri: calls $0.02
ExitZero: calls $0.02
Adm111: raises $0.10 to $0.12
HERO: raises $0.30 to $0.42
sajebo1: calls $0.40
Aziri: calls $0.40
ExitZero: folds
Adm111: calls $0.30
*** FLOP *** [Jd Jc Kh]
Adm111: bets $0.02
HERO: calls $0.02
sajebo1: folds <-- (WTF MORE 2 CENT BET FOLDS?!?!
Aziri: folds THE POT WAS OVER A DOLLAR!!!)
*** TURN *** [Jd Jc Kh] 
Adm111: bets $0.48
HERO: raises $0.68 to $1.16 and is all-in
Adm111: calls $0.68
*** RIVER *** [Jd Jc Kh 5d] 
*** SHOW DOWN ***
Adm111: shows [Qd 4d 4h 2s] (HI: two pair, Queens and Jacks)
HERO: shows [Kc Ah 4s As] (HI: two pair, Aces and Jacks)
HERO collected $3.86 from pot
Nice try, but 2 cent bet on flop then large bet on brick turn doesn't spell big hand to me.
That hand was the SECOND biggest hand of the night for me... BUT BELIEVE IT OR NOT, the biggest hand of the night was RIGHT AFTER it. Adm111 was tilting pretty bad, which I loved, cause he created action. Heres the hand history:

Thats my big score of the night. A2QQ is a fairly good hand, but that was a monster of a flop. NOTICE WHAT THE OTHER PlayerS ARE PLAYING. ExitZero pushed all in with a pair of kings and straight draw, Aziri called the all in with pair of threes, same straight draw and 10 high flush draw (slightly better). NOT ONLY did I have the best high hand (set of queens), I was the ONLY one with a low draw. Just for fun, heres the equity odds on that turn:
HERO: 2s Qd Ah Qh 75%
EXITZERO: Js Kd Th 8h 6.9%
AZIRI: Ts 3s Jd 2d 18.1%
3 way all in with 75%. ++++++++EV
Pretty good odds, wouldnt you say? and that is how penny table hi/lo is profitable!
Now I have roughly 550 BBs... which is awesome. That's 11 short buy ins to penny tables. Unless I get hit by 11 bad beat bricks of death.!
