I am over-rolled. I have 30 full buy-ins at each site i.e. $30,000. This means I don't have the hassle of refilling on downswings. Win rate is around 3 bb/100 (1.5ptbb/100), but I multi-table massively. Yes, other players do not like what I do, since I leave the table on doubling up.
I always got a kick out of the forum discussions on how shortstacking is "unethical" lol. Bunch of whining 18 year old kids mad that someone found a way to get an edge on them. They don't think there is anything wrong with 8 table PAHUDING the fish to death of course. I don't think there is any problem with either, since poker is all about taking money from other people!
I have found i do the best playing on small non pokertracker sites as a prop. Right now the site I am playing most of the action is at .50/1 NL buy my hourly is ridiculous, like 160+ because all the fish buy in for 200 BB, plus 100% RB.

In poker previous results have nothing to do with future results. (i.e. poker is completely random, markets are NOT). -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- You might get a discussion from those much smarter than me about both of those statements. You have a finite number of cards thus not a totally random walk. And, in the markets when earnings surge and the stock falls 10% this time vs. rising 10 % the last time it had good earnings...?? Makes one wonder a bit. Both are much easier and more fun than working for a living, that's the important part, LOL. Don __________________ Don Bright (not an alias) http://www.stocktrading.com
Poker results are OPPONENT dependent... hence the extensive use of HUDs to determine the best tables to play on... Good cards only matter to a small extent... what matters more is how well your opponents play relative to how you play...
Life is not a matter of holding good cards, but of playing a poor hand well. Robert Louis Stevenson As in poker.... Don
