Here's a list of my 2010 goals. I'll likely add to them as the year goes on and will be referring back to them a lot to keep myself on track.

ReplyDeletegl on your goals. I enjoy lhe a lot but at the small stakes it seems like there are some decent sized swings for very little money. Specifically at 1/2 and 2/4. Do you think it is worth it to even play at these levels anymore? With the biggest winners having a 1-2bb winrate these days do you think its still smart to pursue playing lhe as a full time thing if you can only play as high as 5/10 or so?
ReplyDeletethanks
Thanks Tyler,
ReplyDelete1/2 and 2/4 are extremely difficult to beat due to the high rake in terms of % of average pot. The lower your win rate, the bigger the swings. I'd expect bigger swings, in terms of big bets, at those limits compared with higher limits where the rake is less.
Not sure whether it's worth it or not, that's subjective. If your primary reason for playing is money, my advice is to learn how to play heads up and 3-handed where much higher win rates can be obtained. Or try no-limit where the player pool is huge and the lower limits are more beatable.
