So, just a little update...
My new laptop is fully set up with HEM/TN and the game controller and works great. It's blazingly fast. I was able to 24 table full ring game right out of the gate, which is good. Yesterday, I decided to see how many 6 max games I could play and was actually able to do 24 and very rarely even got into my time bank. I had no idea I'd be able to play so many tables at once, so that's good. I've been experimenting with mostly $25 and some $50 NL and am surprised at the quality of play. Yes, there are still fish for sure, but on average, I would say it's less than 1 per table at the $50 NL level. $50 NL games are honestly tougher than the $200 NL games were like 3-4 years ago. So, that kinda sucks. I need to get to SuperNova by 1/1/11 to maximize my 2011 earnings, so that's my goal. At $25 and $50 NL, it's going to take a while, but I need to get used to playing a lot of hours anyway. I've been pretty much breaking even (small profit) so far, which is certainly better than losing, but I'm going to need to improve my game if I want to break even and hopefully beat the higher limits. Anyway, just a quick update. |

Not sure if this helps or not, but in the latest update, you can add up to 3 betting buttons. For example - preflop, you can have a default button to raise 2.5x, 3x, pot. And post flop, those can be changed to be 65% pot, 80% pot, all in.
Under options > Bet Slider Options in the lobby. |

Yeah, thanks. I've got that pretty much taken care of using TableNinja, which puts in default bets for me, and then I just increase/decrease with the controller as necessary. That's actually a lot faster for me than clicking buttons on the screen would be.

Update: Still playing low limits on my own dime, but for the past couple of weeks, I've been short stacking, which I had never done before in my entire life... I have to say, I'm actually liking it. It's not nearly the same game as playing deep stacked, but once you get the ranges down and stats on your opponents, it's relatively simple to play.
I hit 50k VPPS today, so still need another 50k by the end of the year. Yikes. Definitely going to have to move up soon, but want to make sure I'm still winning (or at least breaking even) before I do. |

Among other benefits, good luck in some of those high prize pool freerolls.
