great graph bro , your win rate is really amazing . I don't play cash games but many good players say that 5bb/100 hand is a great win rate so you are killing it mate
hopefully we see more graphs here from other members , cause if you noticed there are many people here think that poker is a pure luck game
Thanks, man. Just wanted to help show long term profit is possible.
Thats Great, that you are still in the Green! How much do you think your win rate would change if you were playing high stakes rather then micro stakes? Its still the same game regardless of stakes right? So is it because the players you are up against get that much better? Or are there other factors?
Thank you. To your question of how I think my win rate would change if I were playing high stakes rather than micro-stakes, well, if I were to go from micro-stakes to high stakes right now, today and assuming I had the bankroll for it, I would guess that my win rate would be abysmal, as in some negative number: -XXX.x bb/100. No joke. lol
Note, that there are stake levels between micro stakes and high stakes: Nose bleeds >
High stakes > Mid stakes > Low stakes >
Micro stakes And within each stakes there are four or more level increments. Going from micro straight to high stakes is a huge jump.
Yes, it's the same game regardless of stakes in terms of mechanics. But it is nowhere near the same game as far as level of play and opponent skill, generally speaking. At higher stakes you will still see recreational players, but mostly you will find higher skilled/more experienced ones. At higher stakes you see more aggressive, sophisticated and adaptive playing styles.
So yes, the players who play at higher stakes, in general, are that much better. They study the game continuously, they know the maths and odds of each type of poker situation, they study their own past hands to fix their weaknesses and study opponents hands so as to exploit their weaknesses.
My win rate of 10.4 bb/100 over 60k+ hands indicates that I should move up in stakes where my win rate will be expected to decrease, but the amount of money I earn (compared to the micros) will be higher.
That looks like a very good progress. By the way I'm curious, does HM works on btc poker rooms?
I used it a long time ago, but usualy it only worked in the well know poker rooms.
Thank you. To answer your question, as far as I know, the only btc poker room that HEM2 (Hold'em Manager 2) works for is betcoin.ag poker, which is what I am using it on. I don't think it works on swc poker (someone correct me if I'm wrong) and I don't know about the other btc poker sites since I've never tried them.
The old HM is no longer supported and not sure if HM works for any btc poker rooms. But HEM2 does.
It's a beautiful chart. Start from 50 mBtc and now you're on 800 mBtc.
I never track my poker game with these 'chart software'.
How can i get it? HEM2, i will try to search it on google.
And i would be appreciate if you can give me know how to download it.
Thanks for the kind words.
Hold'em Manager 2 :
http://www.holdemmanager.com/buy/211/holdem-manager-2It costs $99.99 US for the pro version which works for all stakes levels. They do accept bitcoin for payment. There is also a smaller stakes version for cheaper, but you will only be able to use it for the smaller stakes. They also have a version for Omaha.
If you want to try it out first before you buy it, they have a 30 day free trial version which you can download from their site.
But before you decide to buy or try it, make sure that the site you play poker on supports it. (The only btc site that I know it works on is betcoin.ag) You can check on HEM2's website and forum which poker sites support it. See link above. It has more features to it than just charting your wins/losses that will help you improve your game which are all explained on their website.
It may seem to cost a lot, but it is more than worth it. It pretty much pays for itself and if you plan on long term profits, it's essential.
To download, you just click the download button. There may be a few tweaks you need to make on installation in order to get it to work, but they have all that covered in their troubleshooting support. I'm no HEM2 tech expert, but if you still need help with it, I'd be happy to. Just send me a PM.
Hope that helps. Good Luck!
