£250 a month at 4nl

Anybody think this is possible?

checking my bankroll progression I would have been up about £175 so far this month (4 tabling evening and weekends), if not for a failed 10nl shot.

Just wondering if anybody who just plays evenings and weekends has ever hit £250 at 4nl only?

    I think my best month was +£120 although i get bored at nl4 and move up to quickly. 

    The best ive heard of, Im sure tintin said somewhere he did a +750 month while on a heater.

    ive done it numerous times and don is correct with my best month on a heater. over a 9 month period i was averaging about £330-£350 profit per per month at nl4. i did a diary at one point last year documenting my progress over a month, think i called it beating the unbeatable, and im sure i got to around £300 up in 3 weeks

    i remember once seeing a player sat with a stack of £90+ on a nl4 table and it wasnt part of some forum game or when the high rollers had a crazy game either at omaha nl4. now that takes some doing

    By being patient and adapting I guess.

    Bet your strong hands for value strongly, until given a good reason to fold (i.e a passive rec. player raises)

    No bluffing allowed either

    Basically, play a very tight range, probably roughly 10% of hands. All PPs, big aces, suited broadway cards. Bet big pre-flop cos you will get called by worse, bet big post flop when you've got it, don't bluff when you haven't, learn what flops are good to c-bet and job is a good 'un. You'll make money.

    Gives me a little target, should be 6 tabling soonish.

    £300 a month would be a nice little extra income

    Bear in mind that TinTin is...

    1) A very strong player

    2) A robot, he obviously can't eat or sleep with the volume he puts in sometimes ;)

    Not everyone will be able to jump in and get the same results as him. You said in the OP you play evenings and weekends, I'm sure TinTin can give you more info but I'm sure when he was getting them results he was playing like 10 hours per day most days.

    Yeah back when i played nl4 you would rarely see a table without him on it. And if you found one where he wasnt, chances where it wasnt great value anyways

    Learnt a lot by playing and watching tittin, trying to do similar but not as many tables, agree with lambert 180, don't play every hand keep your range tight, play about 10% and watch what others are doing, i am no expert but i am learning,

    well £250 is what like 60 buy ins? most ive made in 1 month at my level is pretty much 60 buy ins, so it's definitely possible, and even more so at 4nl, but in that month i put in about 90k hands so youll have to multi table quite a lot and play a lot

    "Just open shove AJ+ and 10s plus"

    Please say thats a joke lol.

    £750 a month, you must have been online pretty much all day, great result though.

    as said that was a one off, a "normal" month would be in the 75-100 buyin range at the time. i dont remember too much of the details about it now but i do remember i done a fair bit of damage over one weekend. between the fridaay and the sunday night i was up close to 60 buyins. everything was just holding and i had also run into my favourite fish, who liked to go allin pre every hand for stacks, the rest of the month wasnt too spectaclur just lots of 6, 7,8 buyin days.

    it did feel as tho i was online all the time but i only ever played 10-11 hours. i did eat and sleep however much Lambert likes to think i didnt lol

    I've had a couple of months in excess of £250, but for the hours & number of tables you're likely to play, probably tough to do on a consistent basis.
    I work too (should be there now - but self employed plumber - you know what they're like!) so can't put in the hours that TINTIN does, and I average around £160 per month over last 14 months. Some of that was 2 tabling but mostly 4/6 tables.
    Currently 9 tabling although I don't think thats optimal for me as I am old !! & I miss loads of reads on players resulting in a few bad calls. Might reduce & upgrade some notes on players.
    Also you will get months where you run bad & start having doubts about your game, the RNG, the Poker Gods etc.
    Last month I made £40 & ran like Pistorius without his blades but at least I made another £45 from C4P & the other cash promotion.
    GL @ the tables.
