50NL to 400NL in 2012 (with savers)

I have roughly 27 buy ins for 50NL at the moment, so that means I'm taking a 7 BI shot and moving down to 20NL if my roll falls under €1k.

I will use this thread for motivation, track progress/results and more importantly to improve my overall poker game.

I will update this thread hopefully every day with my daily sessions and post interesting hands/spots that I come across among other things

Some monthly rules:
  • Average 1k hands/day (30k minimum hands per month)
  • Focus on making solid decisions rather than win pots
  • Constantly do off table work like reviewing hands & get better at combos/equities

Please don't hesitate to ask me any questions, I'm happy to answer them since this introduction doesn't really say too much .

Oh, and I will from time to time post savers to bring some sunlight to this thread!

Do you want to say a bit about yourself / poker background? What site do you play on?

19 year old guy from Sweden -
I started to make some small deposits summer 2011 but busted many times obv.
I can't show a life time graph because my old computer died.

I haven't been staying on one specific site for a long period of time just yet, but that is going to change soon!

Basically I was switching between stars and microgaming the first few months and eventually I had a little roll going.

Now my plan is to build a roll for 200nl+ on this (entraction) network and then move over to stars grinding it out or something. This network has pretty low 200nl+ player activity from what I've seen so far, so it would probably be best to switch to stars when I reach that point.

Here is ~40k hands I have from NL10/NL20 that I played on my most recent site:

Overall I ran pretty ****ty and I believe there is something wrong with the outs-system this site uses

Re: 50NL to 400NL in 2012 (with savers)

Thanks!

Finally had the chance to play my first session of 50NL today. I played pretty well overall and I'm pretty happy of how it went. I lost some flips and ran into top of ranges etc. but **** happens!

Hands:

Hand 1.
OR is 76/24.
He has been opening stuff like T8o, K3o etc. so I think QT plays well against his range + I'm IP.

BTN is 32/21 after a short sample, and the other guy is a nit.
> Value bet the flop and turn
When BTN raises it's possible he can have 89 but he can also have slowplayed 67,T7/T6s(?) so I think his range is wider than just the pure nuts. He can also have turned some FD, so I call pretty happily.

    Hand 2.
    Villian is a fish who has been 3betting a bit, pretty standard to get in imo.. I know the 4bet sizing is a bit big but it's because I haven't gotten used to this sites sizing thing.
