Well, Jeff is a success story of one kind for livepokerforum. I'm a success story of another kind.
A much SLOWER kind.
All at Prima.
13.3 hours, +$30.79, +$2.32 per hour.
Oh, let's break that down.
$20 tables: 1.3 hours, + $66.64
$50 tables: 12 hours, -$35.85
Plus a $20 bonus. Always nice.
All-time, I am now down about 23 dollars total in all my hours playing the $50 tables -- that's over more than 35 hours, so I lose about 60 cents per hour. I guess it's not a terribly high price to pay for tuition...?
But my PokerTracker stats show that I have beaten the magical Iceman barrier at the $20 tables -- I am up
15.87 PTBB/hr since I have tracked my hands. (8,950 hands at the $20 tables.)
That's right. I win bigger than Ice says is sustainable at the $20 tables, and lose money at the $50s. Talk about a frustrating move-up!!!
Will keep plugging away.
