2012 Goal - 4nl to 200nl, 5 digit year!

Hi everyone!
Been playing poker for about 3 years now, but I've never really bothered to put in the work that it takes to actually become a good big winning player. Mainly I've played micros and cashed out small every once in a while, but this year I'll try to actually win bigger, and play bigger, and play more
I Started the year with €55 bankroll which has now grown to roughly €200, and I've gone from playing 4nl to taking shots at 10nl so far, and I'll move down if BR goes below €150!
I'll try to keep this first post somewhat short so you guys won't die reading

Imma post hands etc if I get to some tough spots where I'd like to know you guys opionions, which most likely will happen often!

Last but not least sorry for my english but hopefully you'll understand me fine enough, and good luck at the tables!

    Reads on villain(s):
    CO is rly aggro and has shows some 3b bluffs to me earlier, havent played him before tho
    BTN is just a regular fish, playing something like 40/5ish
    SB is a nitreg

    What would you guys do in that spot?

    Re: 2012 Goal - 4nl to 200nl, 5 digit year!

    alright another day, another break even day. had pretty good volume but i played so f bad and donked off couple stacks early w overpairs against nits who obv had me crushed, i better stop making those "i-know-im-beat-but-i-wanna-see-ur-hand-calls"...
    luckily i managed to recover it tho thanks to some coolers and bonuses and all that good stuff

    since i already know i played those hands terrible, ill show another hand instead where i have KK against a fish who had the following stats:
    VPIP: 60
    PFR: 6
    3B: 2
    Hands: 267

      Boss, $0.05/$0.10 No Limit Hold'em Cash, 6 Players
      Poker Tools Powered By Holdem Manager - The Ultimate Poker Software Suite. View Hand #11680012

      MP: $10 (100 bb)
      CO: $26.27 (262.7 bb)
      BTN: $12.94 (129.4 bb)
      SB: $10.98 (109.8 bb)
      BB: $10.25 (102.5 bb)
      Hero (UTG): $8.85 (88.5 bb)

      Preflop: Hero is UTG with K K
      Hero raises to $0.30, 2 folds, BTN raises to $0.50, 2 folds, Hero raises to $1.50, BTN raises to $2.50, Hero raises to $8.85 and is all-in, BTN calls $6.35

      Flop: ($17.85) Q A 9 (2 players, 1 is all-in)
      Turn: ($17.85) Q (2 players, 1 is all-in)
      River: ($17.85) 4 (2 players, 1 is all-in)

      Spoiler:

      i (almost) never fold KK pre but is this 1 of the times where i shouldve? i mean 2% 3b is so f nitty and those min 5bets are like always the nuts. is it possible they do it with QQ/AKs or something like that?
      if u wonder why i only sat w 88bb its bcuz i dont have auto top on for some reason so theres no real reason behind it, i prefer 100bb

      feel free to comment about the hand above

      Hands played today: 1405
      Total BR: €172.35

      Edit: i realized i failed with the HH and i spoiled villains hand, but whatever

      Even if u know villain has AA 100% after min5bet u can still setmine and just check fold other flops. Standard all in tho.

          Re: 2012 Goal - 4nl to 200nl, 5 digit year!

          update time!
          played decent volume since i last posted ITT, lost 4BI in like 30min in 1 session where i tried to play waaaaaay looser bcuz my normal 3b% is too nitty if imma move up.
          so i tried to play looser and 3bet much more and it went f terrible obv, so ill take care of that when i move up to 20nl, maybe take some coaching etc

          anyway i recovered most of that today and br is now:
          €164.41 with about €70 rakeback coming feb 1st

          My goal for this month was to reach €250 so lets see what happens!

          Re: 2012 Goal - 4nl to 200nl, 5 digit year!

          whats goooood!
          played 2 sessions today, 1947 hands. first session was a bad 1, got coolered KK v AA against a guy who had a 3b% of >15% and some other stuff like that, but hey thats poker, nothing to do about it . ended thats session stuck about 2BI.

          Then in the other session i managed to hold up in like 3 70-30's which is rly fortunate and i ended the day w a profit!

          Advices to myself:
          try to avoid getting myself in big awkward stacksize turn/river decisions, gotta adjust my flopsizing to tryna avoid that to happen.

          Dont be a calling station!

          Bankroll: 176.27

          Just wanna throw it out there that my br was a bit over 180 which made my br over 250 w RB, which means that i reached my january goal for a while! Atm im like €4 away, so lets hope for some rungood in the last days here in jan

            imo even though his 3b is>10, you still let him play perfect. He will fold out all hands you beat. I think calling a 3b and shoving to his cb is fine or clicking back pre to try to make him spaz. Also folding is not far out there as far as options go.

            Re: 2012 Goal - 4nl to 200nl, 5 digit year!

            Just a short update, got some coolers my way AA > QQ so i dont see the point of showing any HH's

            BR: 205.99 + br of >70

            When do you guys think i should take a shot at 20nl? im thinking about getting coaching when i start 20nl which costs 75e for 2 hours (wont tell who it is since some guys will think im paid for promoting him blablabla).

            I think ill do it when i reach a 475 BR so i can ship him 75 and i have 20BI left for 20nl, sounds fine? im thinking of taking liek a 4BI shot so if i would go under 320 i would move back down to 10nl
