I moved up to $3-$6 a few weeks ago and have been doing much better than I was at $1-$2. Here is the penultimate example. Wow.
PokerStars Game #21176122649: Hold'em No Limit ($3/$6) - 2008/10/13 21:35:45 ET Table 'Shaula' 9-max Seat #3 is the button Seat 1: TheMinion ($735.10 in chips) Seat 2: mayhem29 ($600 in chips) Seat 3: phreaux ($586 in chips) Seat 5: chulwoo ($585 in chips) Seat 6: HannaBananaL ($146.50 in chips) Seat 7: Luciferian ($168 in chips) Seat 8: piscogay ($788 in chips) Seat 9: NutsInYoEye ($680.60 in chips) chulwoo: posts small blind $3 HannaBananaL: posts big blind $6 mayhem29: posts big blind $6 *** HOLE CARDS *** Dealt to phreaux [Ah Ac] Luciferian: folds FRiaR SKanK has returned piscogay: folds NutsInYoEye: folds TheMinion: folds mayhem29: raises $18 to $24 phreaux: raises $36 to $60 chulwoo: folds HannaBananaL: folds mayhem29: calls $36 *** FLOP *** [Kc 5c Th] mayhem29: checks phreaux: bets $120 mayhem29: calls $120 *** TURN *** [Kc 5c Th] [8d] mayhem29: checks phreaux: bets $406 and is all-in mayhem29: calls $406 *** RIVER *** [Kc 5c Th 8d] [4h] *** SHOW DOWN *** mayhem29: shows [Ad Kd] (a pair of Kings) phreaux: shows [Ah Ac] (a pair of Aces) phreaux collected $1178 from pot
No, I didn't copy that hand history, but FYI the ultimate example involved less money and a LOT more good fortune (put a man on a bluff and did a rare check-raise re-bluff to take the pot)
Random thoughts from a lawyer, an accountant, a commodities trader, an ex-Marine and a WSOP Main Event money finisher that don't know as much as they wish they did...
