I took a $1000 bet that I could make minimum 10pt/bb100 in 50NL over 10K hands. Extra $250 bonus if I can stay over 13ptbb/100, $250 bonus for him if I am under 7pt. I have until Dec 20th but this will be done much sooner.

How realistic of a goal do you think this is?

Who thinks they could do this?
Who thinks *I* can do it?

Other Goals:

- Start using ACEhud to my advantage a lot more. I really haven't made effective use of it yet. Anyone have a good Pokerstars layout?
- Study my PokerTracker stats much better to improve my game. Is there any way for PT to isolate just one Limit and see all the stats based on that? Can any software do that, say Hold 'em manager? Pt is starting to seem kinda weak to me.

I currently play 200nl at 1-2ptbb, and this friend and I were discussing the differences between the limits. He plays 25 and 50nl. He has taken shots at 100 but has had to drop down. I haven't been playing 50nl in awhile but I think I can make 10pt, the 13 will be a lot harder and probably won't happen. He thinks there isn't a huge diff between 50, 100, and 200nl... especially not enough for me to crush the 50s considering my mediocre 200nl winrate. I'm also mixing in 200nl sessions so that my 200nl isn't messed up too much when i move back fully.

I've been going about a week and after 3K, I am at 11.5, including 2 recent 2 outers on the river for $140 total lost

One big balance is that I could play fewer tables and increase the winrate and do it in more time. I started out playing 4 tables just to get a feel again for 50NL and to keep the winrate high, but now I'im up to 6 tables. I'm not sure if going for the 13pt/bb100 is worth the time...I'd def need to do 4 tables only. I was doign 15 for a lil at 4, and i think its def less @ 8. If I go under 10, im gonna cut tables down.

I'm playing 22/11, playing a few more limped pots with trashy cards cuz I think I can outplay ppl post flop, where you look at my 200nl, and I am 17/10. The bottom limit is 50nl HU which I play ocassionally but suck at. sStat suggestions welcome, especially comparing my 50 and 200nl results






Favorite hand so far... especially his call of the re-raise. This guy is 94/50!!
