I started playing .5/1 LHE 6 Max around the last week of November. Being it that today is half way through december I thought I would do a review on how things are going so far.

Judging from my stats I am doing pretty well. You could say I am running pretty hott lately too. Im beating the game from 4BB/100 which is probably not sustainable. However I do think I could for sure beat this level for atleast 2 because some of the games are just so soft its crazy. I do have very good game selction as well so that could be the reason why right now it is so high too. It also looks like I might be cold calling preflop just a bit to much. Its pretty close though but there are for sure some spots sometimes where I jsut want to see the flop when I really shouldnt. I mean there suited right? lol. Easily fixable though

It took me a while there to get used to the swings of a new limit. I was really not to happy with the way things wre going when I went on my -100BB downer there. I did a lot of hand reviews during this time and it seemed like I was just running bad.. not playing bad. -100BB downers in LHE are pretty standard though. I suppose I should be thankful that it was only -100 instead of like 250.

If I didnt make so many withdrawls this month to pay some bills and stuff I would be on pace to move up to the next limit at the end of the month. Unfortunatly now I still need to make around $400 before I can have a very comfortable move to the next limit. I am fine grinding .5/1 for a while longer though.

The worst part is that at the end of the month I am probably going to have to make a huge withdrawl from my bankroll because I will be going to school and I will need some extra money to live off while I try and find a job. I was planning on withdrawing it all except for $250 which would give me 500BB to play .25/.50 but I really dont want to go back down to that game again lol. So Im going to try and make about $300 by then end of the month so I can leave $500 on instead and still be rolled for the game I am playing right now. We will see though...

All in all .5/1 is going really well right now and I hope I can keep owning it for the rest of the month so I can stay at this limit when I move away. Anyways Im gonna go look for some juicy tables and try and make 50BB today before I go out. Im heading up to my buddies place in St. Catherines tonight to get fucked right up and wheel some pusssssyyy. They are all finished exams today so hopefully the bars are just rammed. Wish me luck lol.

isn't 4bb/100 at FLHE crushing the game?
standard win rate is like 2bb/100 right?

The only hands a nit balances in his range are the nuts, the second nuts, and the third nuts.
