I have been playing FL Rush FR $0.50/$1.00 (2 tables) since it became available sometime at the beggining of the year (started with 1 table). I have played 45k hands in this game so far. I play part time in between study. I still tend to stick to the starting hands charts, only loosening up on 3bets/caps against players who are rather loose themselves. I am aware of some certain areas that I need improvement on.
My main reason for this post is after 45k hands my win rate sits at 0.82BB/100. I am becoming a little concerned with this number. These are the first 45k hands I have played at FL so my winrate will be reduced due to the initial learning phase. On the surface it also appears as if I am getting a great deal of bad luck.
After 45k hands should I be concerned about my win rate?
I have been setting a stop loss limit of 40BB per day. It is a small limit, but it is the point where I start to get a little annoyed so it made sense. I have also recently started taking a diary of my daily play recording good plays and bad from my Poker Tracker history. I make notes of bets that could have been gained and bets that could have been saved. I read over my notes before a session so my mistakes and good plays are fresh in my head. This way I know whether to avoid them or not. I am currently reading "The Theory Of Poker".
I have recently passed the $1k mark, from the original $50, and have the Bankroll to move on to FL Rush SH $1/$2, but I am not comfortable with my win rate, and experience, at this point to make that move.
What are others experiences with swings/win rates in FL?
When did you make a move to SH and how was the experience?
Has anyone found any significant differences between players in a regular ring game and players in a rush pool? (As articles are written primarily for ring games).
What strategies have you found useful for improving your game?
