One of the most obvious concepts of poker is that the game gets tougher to beat the higher you go up in stakes. Unfortunately I haven’t recorded the money I’ve earned from bonuses. During these sessions I’ve paid $10,012 in rake. The lesson here is that even winning players loss one in 3 sessions on average.
My longest winning streak was 15 sessions (unfortunately this was at 2NL:)). During these 201 sessions I lost money 75 times (37%) with my longest loosing streak being 6 sessions. These 500k hands were racked up in 201 different sessions. You can clearly see that I play the vast majority of my hands over Friday and Saturday (my weekend). The table below shows the distribution of the 500k sample by day of the week. I have since gone down to 12 and even 6 tables while trying to beat 100NL.

Initially I played 4-6 tables and April was the first full month that I played 24 tables. On average I see around 65 hands per table at full ring which means that on average I’ve been playing 11 tables simultaneously which sounds about right. The 500k hands were played over 699 hours which comes to around 715 hands per hour. As you can see in the 100NL row I still have some work to do. Since I was able to beat 50NL at around the 400k hands mark, my focus has been on moving up in stakes and beating the 100NL level. It is for this reason that 40% of the hands in the 500k sample were played at 50NL and the buy-in levels with the fewest hands are the very first levels. My plan for 2013 was to start at 1c/2c and build up a roll and move through the levels until I was comfortably beating 50NL. Since February last year when I made the decision to move to cash games I started with only $80 in my account with the aim of building a bankroll.
If you would like me to discuss something specific which doesn’t appear in the post then please comment below or email me at Distribution of the hands played AKA the high level view of the dataĪs you can see from the table below the 500k hands were played across all buy-in levels from 2NL (1c/2c) all the way to 100NL (50c/$1). The post has dozens of insights backed up with data but I’m sure there are things that can be included in my analysis. I decided to dive into this data and write up as detailed a post as possible to help share some of the hard facts (data doesn’t lie) about grinding micro and low stakes cash game poker online. The truth is that I’ve played more than 500,000 hands of cash online in my life but these 500,000 make up the vast majority of my online cash game experience. That milestone was playing over 500,000 hands of online cash game poker. I recently passed a milestone in my quest to beat 100NL online.
