NL4 - Is it beatable?

edited January 2012 in Poker Chat
Old question that I feel stills mains unanwered. I see all these types of comments: It's too fishy, the don't respect my raises, they call you with anything etc etc about NL4.

Do you think NL4 is beatable? Can someone make money by playing NL4? Of course multitabling is a MUST but still is it profitable to play at such micro stakes? Can you get 200quid(the amount is just an example) profit at the end of the month only by playing NL4?

What is your opinion?

    Yes, it's easily beatable. Small sample size here (3,195 hands) but I average 84p profit per table per hour, and 31.7bb/100 profit at the moment when I play NL4.

    I can manage 5 tables maximum, so if I wanted to make £1,000 a month from NL4 (not including rakeback), I'd have to play for 1000/(0.84*5) = 238 hours a month, so about 8 hours a day including weekends. 

    I believe that NL4 is not only beatable, but it's possible to make a living from just grinding NL4, but you'd have to be mad to want to do that day in, day out.

    I started a spreadsheet in July and i have made over £100 profit since that time 3 and 4 tabling only for between 5 and 10 hours a week. I play mainly at NL8 and NL10 now with the odd NL4 table thrown in to fill out any boring quiet spells and to control my BR management regards 5% of m roll in play at any one time. The move up is mostly down to winning at NL4.

    So yes, it is beatable if you play nice and solid and grind away.

    NL4 is easy beatable and yes its possible to win £200 and more in a month as i have done it several times.

    as you have said multi tabling is the key and also volume.

    last year i never played ttoo many weeks but when i did i put the hours in. in total i think i played about 8 weeks but these were 10 hour days 7 days a week.

    last month i won just over £250 at this level by playing about 10hours a day for 2 weeks before xmas. i play 6 tables as thats all my computer can handle without too muh lag.

    before that last may i won just over £400 in 3 weeks playing the same amount.(never played june-dec coz i was working). April i won £150 over 2 weeks.

    I also gained reasonable C4P for the stakes, hitting 3k in Dec n 4k in may for £50 n £75.

    ive only played this month since receiving my C4P payment but ive already doubled it n sitting on 2000 points. it would be more money but i had a horrid 4 days n got out of it with winning 12 buyins yesterday.

    im no great shake at this poker thing but if i can post those results anyone can beat the game,

    beatable yes -
    The amount you win will depend on volume

    Listen to TINTIN, probably the number one grinder at this level

    Google CoxyLboro, wont take you long to find my blog. Also, I try and post updates on Twitter @coxylboro. Im pretty sure im up for NL4 so far but havent logged many hands. Tough regs like TinTin have slowed me down ;)

    yes
    when i decided to concentrate and put some hours in over 3/4 months I managed on average £50/month profit on 2 tables mostly but sometimes 3. sessions were only about 4 hours  4/5 days a week.
    even then managed over 1000 points so got a bonus also.
    you've got to put the volume in and expect some wide swings/variance so it can be frustrating
    good luck

    I saw him on one of my tables the other day so I decided to leave, lol. My feelings were it was better to go to the Chinese and get some chips cheese and curry sauce rather than hand him my £4 :-) .  The food was good by the way.

    Yea mate,  chips and curry sauce with grated cheese on top from the local takeaway. It sounds minging, but it tastes great. That and a couple of Coors Lights is maybe one of the finest combinations available to modern man. I play badly most of the time, but after that combination I am even worse. You should know, we have played together a few times now at the £4 tables, lol.

    Sorry.

    Forget the chips, curry sauce and cheese (still not convinced about the cheese with curry part) and think of that lovely salad.

    mmmm lettuce, tomatoes, rocket, cucumber.......

    It's not working is it ?
