Continued to play 10NL after the above "bad beat", just to see if I can still play my A-Game and not tilt... A little exercise in self control... Won everything back just plain old grinding... will post further updates tomorrow...
I suggest u change title then as it is extremely missleading and simply a lie.
I don't think it's misleading? The challenge is to go from 2NL to 2000NL.... I've gone from 2NL to 5NL and now I'm touching on 10NL.... no lies here bro.
Played a mix of 5NL and 10NL today... didn't get much volume in maybe 6 or 7 hundred hands played.
Enjoying 10NL as it feels a little more like I'm playing for meaningful money... lol...... Hopefully I'll run good, get the BR up to 500 and go to 10NL and leave 5NL behind....
Hey guys thanks so much for the kind responses! Yep, I need to stop thinking in terms of dollar value for sure! And yeah, I'm really happy I haven't had a losing session yet at 10NL.
Got a great hand to show you guys: I have a read on this maniac at the table, he donked into me half pot which told me he had a draw, so I raised him obviously, and he reraises back... LOL... so I just called it off... I knew if I shoved he'd fold so I wanted him to bluff off the rest of his chips to me.... I insta called the river, I put him on 2 clubs, but as it turned out he was just spazzing out on some weird gutshot straight, stone cold bluff type thing:
Yesterday, two hands in a row, this happened.... I get pocket Js, EP raiser has pocket 10s... I just call his raiser pre... I know I probably should have raised it but still.... flop is JT3... all the money goes in.... 100bbs each pretty much.... and doesnt he hit a 10 for quads..... the very next hand.... I get the famous KK vs AA... against the very same villain!!! THE. NEXT. HAND. I 3bet.. and he just calls me preflop... so I'm expecting AA to 4bet me... but no.. he just flats... flop is AK5.... All the money goes in.... and I'm dead.... do I hit quads against him? Nope! HE hit's quads again!! He turns an ACE! Two hands in a row and I'm down 2 buyins already... so I insta rage quit and hit the 25NL table because hell, I'm not sitting at this filthy 10NL stake for a few hours grinding to $30 when I can hit up 25NL and make $45 in a quarter of the time... so that's what I do.... grind it back up at 25NL then... quit...
So I broke even yesterday.... and this morning I played some more 10NL to restore my faith in the poker Gods....

Oh and I know what I'm doing with kings from now on, I'm folding those f***ers to any 4bet/5bet shoves. F**k that! 90% I'm facing AA... if not, It's AK, AQ, or AJ and the rock star ace always appears! What a rig, I'm out. (that was my magic612 impression)

Today's going better... (not that THAT is hard to achieve after yesterdays bloodbath...) However... I haven't moved down to 5NL.... I was like.. "meh...43 buyins of 10NL...may as well keep playing this filthy, filthy level..."
I thought kings had screwed me up here for sure... I was thinking on his flop check raise... "Oh great... here we go.. he's got king king and I'm going to have to pay him off....."
Turned out it was an agressive flush draw raise that went wrong... I guess on the turn he was trying to represent quads or kings full... either way, I was not folding nines full... maybe I'm a fish here or something? Did I play this bad or good guys? Grateful for input.
PS no reads on villian, it is 6max zoom, I don't use a HUD.
OK to I took a break for a while due to tilting off hundreds of dollars playing at stakes I should never been in. Purged my database and I started with a $39 roll two days ago. Going to be more disciplined this time around.
Well I wasn't doing so well in my session tonight. Went from $58 down to $50. So that was 4 buyins lost.. I thought to myself, hey.. I'll call it a night and start again tomorrow... well... that didn't happen.
I went to 10NL to win back my lost 8 bucks.. lost a buyin at 10NL.. so then $40 Bankroll... then the degen came out of me and this is the result:
Preflop: Hero is SB with A Q
4 folds, MP3 calls $0.25, CO raises to $0.75, BTN folds, Hero calls $0.65, BB folds, MP3 calls $0.50
Flop: ($2.50) 8 2 Q (3 players)
Hero checks, MP3 checks, CO bets $1.50, Hero raises to $4.75, MP3 folds, CO raises to $14.46 and is all-in, Hero calls $9.71
Turn: ($31.42) 6 (2 players, 1 is all-in) River: ($31.42) 3 (2 players, 1 is all-in)

Results: $31.42 pot ($1.41 rake)

Hero showed A Q and won $30.01 ($14.80 net)
MP3 mucked and lost (-$0.75 net)
CO showed Q J and lost (-$15.21 net)
I don't know what to do. I just can't seem to NOT up the stakes when I lose a few buyins. It was a happy ending this time. But I know I'm heading for busto roll if I keep doing this.
I really don't understand how you can go up to 200NL because you were having a bad run. Try sticking to the plan, best of luck hope you stop doing that.
