Someone help me out please, I am totally stuck with my game at NL10. I am trying to be better at 6max to make some $, to try grind for some bankroll but I just end up tilting after some good run it always comes some bad beats and then I just start playing bad. It's totally criminal, I have tried to start balancing things, Started checking overpairs in 3betting pots for balance, started not betting top pairs many times for balance, even the nuts postflop as well but I dont know how much is really working. They say whenever u bet with the nuts u gain EV in your betting branch of tree and lose EV in your checking branch of tree, should be balanced. I am not sure how much it is working **** me .

Don't get me wrong I made moneys playing poker in past 3-4 years , I can go down back on nl2 full ring and grind the **** out of them but thats not the point anymore, if I cant beat nl10 whats the point really after playing poke for 3-4 years already.

I feel like im playing like ****, whenever I decide to bluff and its RARELY on MICROS they show me the nuts, whenever I have the nuts and try raise it up they ez fold. I Feel like im totally doomed to a disaster and everyone can see my hands, its just incredible ****ty feeling. I feel like everyone ****s me up in little and midlish pots and grab it away from me.

Someone of good WILL help me please for god's sake, -

add me to skype milan.x1peq and help me review some hands and speak about some poker theory, will reward you later if u help me out with some tip, donation, whatever u call it.

Learn to fold.

Seriously, learn to fold.

If non-Maniac Villains suddenly raise you on the Turn or the River, or donk bet full pot on the River onto you, seriously reevaluate the strength of your hand.

Also, fully accept that variance does not care whether you play good or bad. If Villain hits his 2-outers with J2o, nothing you can do about it except having a read that you might be beaten if he shoves.

if this is a level, nice one.

If it isnt a level, you're leveling yourself. There's no point of even thinking about balancing ranges vs the field, only regs you play with REGulary can you even begin to think about things that you are talking about.

People at 10NL will make the mistake of calling too much rather than too little, so we can make and should be making our money at showdown. You can keep a positive red line easy enough too but just get better at Value betting,

I mean , at 10NL ranges become slightly more defined (not really but its a start) so you can bet for thin value if you are half decent at hand reading.

Ill add you on skype and we can go over some hands and such, Ive experience coaching so should be able to help you plug some leaks

I hope you get better luck on the tables. I'm going through something similar and i agree the fold button comments. I'm obviously not as experienced a player as you but i think you need to embrace the randomness and don't think it won't come back the other way. I'm sure you are an excellent player so you will start to get your luck soon. Chin up

Mindset plays a huge part in poker. One mantra I repeated to myself was, "Results don't matter, only good decisions.". When I started believing it my results improved. Also setting a stop loss can be beneficial, as can quitting when you start to play worse than your A game. Try to maintain a positive frame of mind and remember that just because you were an 85% favorite doesn't mean you're entitled to win the hand. Fortune is fairly evenly distributed over the course of a poker player's career, so try not to be focused on the short term. Also if you're losing at 10NL there's no shame in dropping down to 5NL.

Maybe you shot a limit and experienced a downswing. It happens I would offer to go one limit down somewhere you are confidant with your game and try nl10 again later.

Also when going one limit up your game does not need hard adjustments and your opponents are similar to nl5. Mindset when going up, overvalue villains and facing swing makes much more than the minor improvement of the field quality.

This is just plain bulls*it and I don't know why people still keep repeating this. Regs waaay overfold because no one bluffs at the micros right?
We can pretend fish still outnumber regs but even at 10NL that's not true.

This is 10NLz

Learn to enjoy in playing a game dont just try to win money.If you like playing and you cant win at nl10 just move down.I would enjoy poker even if I play nl2


P.S. If you know how to balance then you win all the time it works at any stake vs everybody but you probably dont know how to do it correctly.

We live in a post-Black Friday world.

Sick graph. You must crush the regs😂 that redline wauw

Not my graph sadly. It's Kiranov. He had a PGC here.

This is true at NLz, Im talking about standard NL, where you get more reads etc etc...

at 10NLz sure, but at uNL everywhere else there are PLENTY of fish, and fish can and do include **** regs.

I discussed this with him last night, how the ranges are affected with a game pool of 1000's of nits, ... My poker nightmare

- accept variance as without it nobody would play the game
- get better with more practice and study
- be patient
- play more hands
- graph above is nice but it is 35k hands only, not a massive sample. Obv the guy is smashing it but beware of graphs and stats

Don t play bad.Go to nl2 or playmoney tables and play best as you can.Win 5 stacks and return.nl10 is EASY.Dont go to showdown with very weak hands.Also it can be downswing.For example im playing mss nl5 on 888poker now:

its almost 8 stacks for me in 4k hands

People joke about play money but if you can't beat play money you won't beat cash, so yes maybe that is an option.

I turned 2k of free chips into 3 million playing on stars (2-3 years) before a friend told me I could actually play online for money. Really though, it's not a bad idea.

It's pretty much impossible to fix you until you identify and address the real problems. An objective person can quickly see two major problems.

1. Overestimation of one's abilities.
2. Tilt issues as admitted by the posted.

Only you can deal with #1. We all think we're better than we actually are.

For #2 try some tilt/mental issue books from authors like Jared Tendler or Alan N. Schoonmaker.

Keep in mind that the games even 10NL have gotten tougher. If you're not progressing with the rest of the school, you get left behind. GL.

Playing with free chip, though fun will not do anything simply because the chips have no intrinsic value and thus do not cause pain when lost. It's a waste of time if improving at real money is the goal.

If one tilts when they lose playing for free chips, I would say losing the money playing cash games isn't really the issue. Experimenting for free can be beneficial in some respects. People need to really detach themselves from the monetary value anyway to truly play effectively, imho.

move down and learn to not let the game affect your emotions and play

^ Good advice, but harder said than done.

Read The Mental Game of Poker by Jared Tendler. It won't fix all of your problems, but reducing the amount of EV you lose because of tilt will probably boost your winrate significantly.

You buy in at 40bb so isn't it at least twice that?

tldr

mental leaks

Yeh this is worth the read if you are struggling with tilt.
