I made 50k in 10 months playing Microstakes Online
Why? I am an idiot I probably would have made more or the same in less time playing higher stakes. but I wanted the chill easy money while I focused on other things in life. There was also a unique set of circumstances that allowed this.
How? A newish Ring fenced high gdp market with a stupid amount of Rake back and winning daily leaderboard bonuses with little competition because no one can play as many tables as me in the pool.
Stakes? 12-20 tabling all nl25-nl100 tables. average stake almost perfectly nl50
The breakdown
Hands profit winrate
nl100 250k +18k 6.9bb/100
nl50 726k +17k 4.7bb/100
nl25 523k +11k 8.4bb/100
Did I run good? Probably not I had a near 200k breakeven stretch in nl50. My nl50 results were horrible Probably because I always maxed them out during happy hour since they were worth the most leader board points
has it ever been done before? I hope not for their sake maybe athene?. I had a very unique set of circumstances that made it kind of reasonably easy to do. I worked 1k -1.1k hours. The average hours of full time work in 10 months is about 1.6k hours with travel so I didn't even work that hard I worked out a ton and worked on me. If I worked a normal 40 hour work week with the same hourly that would have been closer to 100k a year but some of the rakeback is capped so that wouldn't be possible.
Can you do this? absolutely not unless you live in Ontario and want to throw your life away
How much rake back did I get? depending on the day 80-120% Probably averaged close to 100% minus the neutral ev bad beat jackpot rake which I didn't count in my calculations. Speaking about bad beat jackpots I also ran above ev in them and probably made way more then 50k I just didn't count them in this because that's just pure variance which I can easily exclude. I won probably 10-12k in jackpots but I also paid rake for them
On a average day I would rake about 280$ (5-6hours) I would get 60% back pure for 140 and I would win another 120-180 from the ggpoker daily leaderboard. There was no pvi because of regulations but they still had the same high rakeback ggpoker gives without the drawback.
Hours played/houry - 1k-1.1k hours which would be about 45-50$ an hour. 5k a month
It can get better - I just got the highest rakeback status which would be an extra 6k if I were to do this again. but I will probably just play higher stakes now that I have it. That was kind of the yearly goal. Maybe ill even learn how to actually play the game
am I good? no my stats were 19vpip 17pfr 28ats 7%3bet. Many people outplayed me im just a mass tabling idiot. I played mtts and shortdeck before this and did almost zero studying. The ringfenced games with high rakeback just made a unique scenario where it was poker in 2012 again.
The graphs - These are rakeless but as I explained I get 100% rb so they are accurate with about a 5% potential margin of error.

Rakeback examples
27k @ 60% rb
My daily piggybank worth another 40-60% depending on placement

That is a legit brag, sir. Almost $50 an hour is nothing to sneeze at, especially at these stakes.
👍
You went from bitching about a non-existent botfarm on a tiny provincial site to bragging about winning 50k.
It doesn't matter how much you win, you'll always be a fish.

A simple "congrats bro" would've been cool but go off queen. Can't post anything online nowadays without some loser sulking about it
Congrats again Target. You deserve it
This guy has been stalking and doxed me here and on discord and somehow didn't get banned on 2+2. That's the problem when you play against so many people one of them is bound to belong in a mental hospital.
Funny you brought it up tho I emitted an important part from the adventure because I wrote it up as a reddit post and didn't wanna scare recs. I actually played on this site for 2 years the second half i just played a bit more serious and recorded it. For the first 16 months my biggest volume opponents were a group of 11 "regs" we all refered to as nit gate. They all played together with the same stats and would hit alot of bad beat jackpots so we assumed they were probably colluding or some sort of prop player group or just bots. They were such a huge percentage of the site that they dictated my schedule. They would all log on at 8pm sharp every night so I would just get all my volume in from noon to 8pm.
I made a big post about it as he mentioned. What he is leaving out is about 6 months ago all 11 of them quit playing on the same day after playing together for 16months (same time same volume same schedule) So the fact all 11 of them disappeared from the pool the same day means I was actually right and they were working together and got removed. So thanks for bringing that up. There' is a big thread i started if you want to know more it was probably the most interesting thing I have ever seen in poker.

WP,
wow, that is very impressive. hard to find these kind of circumstances nowadays. does your wrist and/or eyes hurt doing this much of grinding? When I mass grinded both hurt a lot. Mabye i was not focusing enough on prevention.
how are these microstakes
