Not sure if barreling the turn with the J9cc is a good idea. The ten paired your AT/TT combos just went down if you even have TT here. So you rep like...55 and 6 combos of AT? Four probably cause he probably has an ace. I feel like x/c flop donk turn is a way better line.

Shove the flop dogarse!

thought about shipping the turn, but people were hero calling me like crazy, sad =(

[x] fish on a heater confirmed

It seems the party is over for me lol, but rolling a $50 bankroll into a decent $900 one and getting platinum star is fine, at least I achieved my initial goals

[x] play 30k hands
[x] have a good bankroll for NL25

So what's next?

that graph looks like a nasty hype train derailment.

I'll try to make money at NL25 and go from there, if I can't, then NL10 is in there, I won't go busto because I follow proper BRM when moving down

But the dream is not over, I still have 6-7 months until I graduate, I'll work on my game and try to master it, I'll read again let there be range and exploiting regulars.

My style is hurt a lot from bad luck and also I got a lot of unlucky spots on non-all-in EV pots. The goal is still to reach NL500 in the next 6 months.

This is the last chance I'll give to poker, let the dream live! VAMOOOOOOOOOOOOO

all of ur winnings are from above EV, how you mention unlucky lol

I got lucky in the EV spots, now on a lot of other spots I was unlucky
My AA-KK winnrate is 500bb/100 on NL50, most of the time i was running KK into AA or open-raising and people folding, is this good luck?

Luckly the gods of poker helped me on my 5-bet all-ins with **** cards lol

lol

less spazzing more sustainable blue line will change everything for you tbh.

I'll spazz less, but I'll never go back to that nit grinding
I would rather go back to whatever I was doing before I came back to poker than being a nit. I can go back to NL10 and make sure I'll have a 2-3bb/100 winrate and grind some cheeseburguers, but that's not what poker is about, I've been in that place before and I don't want to go back.

Go big or go home, I'm all in on this ****, poker is dead because all you guys want to do is to play like nits, roll over some fish and expect to beat the games and take shots with 40 BI, just to donate some money to the big boys and go back to your daily grind, then talk here that poker is dead.

If you're satisfied with the stakes you're playing in, the small winrate, the rakeback, poker is already dead for you. Not for me, I have a dream and one last chance to make it.

I don't want to live from poker, it's insane, I have way better options but all I want to play this game well, play with the pros, show the world that it's possible, and nobody can do it by playing as a huge nit, climbing from NL2 to NL500, following the rules.

The rules are there to stop you from your dreams, we already have a **** ton of idiot rules in the real world, we're slaves, we have to ****ing learn a lot of stupid and useless stuff just to show the owner of company X a piece of paper, to work our asses off from 9 to 5 to get some money we'll waste on daily garbage and then tell to ourselves that "we're fine, we're living a good life, we have this, we have that, we travelled to this place last year, look at how cool is my facebook page"

Life is crushing, man. I can't remember how many dreams I had to let go, and I'm only 26. Before coming back here, i had no dream anymore, none, nada. I may end broke, but this is the way I want to play poker. In the last 4 years I can't remember when I felt any kind of emotion, when I came back, after a losing session of NL25 and waiting for my pt4 to rebuild its cache, I felt goose bumps, I was hungry to play poker, it made me feel alive. In the moment you let your dreams go, a small part of yourself die, and in that moment, I got a little bit of hope.

Let the games begin, let's see if rapidesh123, the demon from the microstakes will end victorious!

im not saying play like a nit, all im saying is the higher you move up people adjust and have a much better understanding of how to play which makes your style brutal because unless you are massively better than the majority of the player base, the swings that come with your style are even more extreme, so maybe just pull back a bit and assess things and maybe change up some small things when it comes to raising and betting on certain boards.

Yeah, sure, I'm working on that, also a lot of my red line comes from super thin valuebetting and sometimes turning medium hands into bluffs, also some amount of hand merging(which is going pretty well, stacked a lot off hero callers recently by merging in some spots).

Sorry rapid....but i think it is better 4 u if u start to smoke something...i also think that could be a good idea to learn some pot/drawing odds before u try to reach nl500...try to land on the "real world" would be the best ..but maybe u are not ready 4 it..anyway..try to do it* before your lost dreams are coming back to search u...hope u can understand what I'm trying to say u and forgive my poor English..

I agree with both Rapid and CRP. Being a sad nit gets you nowhere and neither does being a whale. Find the perfect balance between the 2 and you can sit alone on a $200/$400 table and never play a hand again!

This is what I've been working on for years. When I'm playing my A game red line goes flat and blue line goes up, on my D game red line goes straight up and blue line goes straight down.

My game completely fell apart at the end of last year and I dropped down to NL25. Thank **** for rake back.

Just had a 3 week vacation back home and I'm not worried about SN or rakeback this year so just going to refocus, grind my roll back up at 25nl this month and then jump back into 50nl when I feel ready. I already feel so much more relaxed now that SN pressure is gone, just playing when I want, enjoying my game and planning on taking more weekends off to play live.

Here's my 50nl graph from last year.

Nice graph, any differences from NL25 regs and NL50 regs?

From what I saw, NL50 regs fold a lot to double barrels, float more, also are able to make bigger folds, while on NL25 people call you with a lot of marginal stuff, even to triple barrels

I know all poker basic stuff, I've read 7 books(all good ones, not counting crap like negreanu small ball poker), some of which i read twice, my biggest problem(and advantage) is that sometimes I go full monkey mode, even if I decide to go tight, my red line keeps growing up.

Btw, in this month I've learned stuff that you can't learn in the books, and also few players can apply this concept in their game, only crazy ones like me can do it, like hand merging. Ok, we're in the micros, just play for value and win, easy monies. The thing is that by learning and applying it well, I can exploit a lot of hero callers, which are my biggest enemies.

just look at these hands, both played against solid regulars, how much do YOU think YOU would get called by worse on these spots? =)

u r saying the same that i...i can agree with u about the no productive nitti game...but from what i'm reading u r not trying to balance solid game and good moves..u r basically gambling... and i don't think that's the way u can reach your dream to play with the "big boys"...

i'd given up on 2p2 producing any gold in areas other than OOT etc. but this is one of the funniest/cringiest things ive read in quite some time.

I have to agree with a lot of what Rapid is saying. Following all the charts and concepts available out there is certainly going to give you a basic understanding of how to beat the most clueless players, but guess what, every ****ing reg have somewhat similar charts available to them, so most regs are really just passing money between each other and occasionally winning a pot from a fish which hardly makes up for the rake.

No one ever became a boss by thinking inside the box and following all the charts.

Having a bigger ego than your penis size will always hinder anyone trying to become a boss ..

There are no charts to follow when its decided by the above.

lol...
