Aiming to make $500 at 2NL and 5NL before the 18th of August.

I've lost my HEM database twice which doesn't help but I've got most of my graphs -

That puts me at about $160 profit in 100k hands.

Meaning I'd need to play about 300k hands or 10k hands a day at the current winrate.

Withdrew money today so I have $75 in my account.

My friend and I are going to have a prop bet though on this and wondering what odds would seem fair for both of us? Wouldn't be a sizeable prop just something to add a bit more excitement into this :D

Plan is NL2 upto $150, then play NL2 during the day and Nl5 during the night when the tables are fishier. (with dropping back to Nl2 if I fall below $120 everytime.

bet more on flop/turn blah blah

On a more serious note, why do you cashout? I am pretty sure that hurts very much when trying to moveup.

10k hands a day is 10 hrs 20-24 tabling
thats not easy.....good luck

i think you could do it, but its going to take a lot of discipline, run good, and hands.

Its kind of a waste to cash out when you are playing NL 2 and NL 5 if your goal is to eventually move up to a higher, more serious stake. If your goal is to just make some spare change playing NL 2 and NL 5 then good for you and good luck.

agree, if you want to move up never cash out until you are on a fat bankroll at nl100 at least IMO.

This is retarded, according to your graphs you are losing at NL5, and beating NL2 for 8.5bb/100. This is not the time to be doing some ridiculous 24 table marathon prop bet. Play 4-8 tables max, focus on note taking, thinking about ranges, bet sizing etc. Also, a better move up strategy for you would be to play until you have 20BI for a stake then move up, only dropping back down when you get below 15 BI. You are missing a ton of value in a lot of your hands against fish. If you are serious about poker you should be playing to learn right now, not to grind out 75 cents an hour at NL2.

The graphs are two seperate chunks of 50k hands, so im winning at both Nl2 and Nl5

I forgot the cashout curse anyway, will bust before tonight when i run KK into AA for the 10th time and set over set. Sigh

NeillyJQ: I really wanted to prove to myself I could beat NL200, I did over a small sample, and believe Ill be crushing there in the future.

wtf.

There's no skill difference whatsoever from NL2 to NL10. You should at least play NL10, why would you even consider playing nl2 ?

this. playing below nl10 is a total waste of time, try to move up asap

If so powerful you are, why minraise?
