    1) 20 K hands at 20 NL, be in profit.

    2) Play live once a week.

    Going to stick $300 on pokerstars and play exclusively $6-$16 omaha hi/lo STTs and see if i can beat the game.

    Was going to setup a prop bet but i couldn't commit to any sort of volume/hours so will just play for my leisure now!

    You think thats a big enough roll to play $6- $16 stts especially at hi/lo?


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,661 ✭✭✭General Zod


    1) play more
    2) play better
    3) have fun

    Yeah i'll start at the $6 and $11 games so thats about 30 buyins. If i get to about 500-600 i'll drop the $6 and play $11 and $16. Wont go higher than that. Its a relatively small pool and i've notes on about 60% of the regs at that level in prep for the slog.

    Due to the way the games play, i reckon 4-8 tabling is the max i'd get going.

    Was just intrested as am playing 45mans on stars and while im way over rolled i was wondering what other peoples thoughts are. I am playing 4 to 10 tables usually but have dropped down lately and results have vastly improved.

    1. Move back into 10c/25c.
    2. Learn how to identify and exploit specific weaknesses of opponents.
    3. Play juicy cash games at local casino whenever possible.

    If i was playing 45mans or NLHE i'd probably want 60-70 buyins but the O8 games are slower and the variance isn't huge. Despite not posting this in the BBV, i can feel the curse coming on! Bye bye money..
