good luck at NL50

I am still in search of a limit where preflop meta is aggressive enough where I can get AQo in and feel good about it

So far i can tell you that NL50 is NOT that limit (-4 buyins), but I will keep trying

Me when I open a couple ZONE FAST POKER tables and see a 300+ bb stack limping utg and then another opening to 9x in the CO



ps - they ended up stacking me

Like walking up the stairs of a mental hospital, it appears ******ation increases at higher levels

Now that a sustainable and long term winrate at NL50 has been ACHIEVED I will continue to seek glory at the higher limits until I either beat the game and become Piosolver or suffer the fate of Icarus



Respectfully yours,
Skeety

How many buy ins will you shot take 100NL?

Good work SkeetMcDouble!

Hats off to you. I basically only opened this thread so I could make some remark about how "old school pros suck".

I didn´t expect those results at all.

Then again, games are super juicy right now due to "social distancing", so I´m guessing you wouldn´t have beaten NL50 4 months ago lol.

There's that boy with the crooked smile. Inject that sweet nostalgia straight into my veinnsss.

It only takes 1 baby #dreambig



yea boOyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy - glad some of the old MSNL gang is still around. I really haven't thought about cards or 2+2 for ~10 years so I've been dying laughing reading back over some old MSNL threads and BBV stories. I've been gone to the real world far too long

Think you were the first person to reply to my first post on here all of 14/15 years ago. Wonder if any other oldtimers lurk these threads?

Yes, your avatar looks vaguely familiar! We seniors are out here grinding

50NL going well, tempted to take this baby to 200/400 before the heater putters out

lol wtf is your win rate actually even better than back in 2008?

Pay this man his money

Not quite, and I'm obv running quiiiiiiiite hot at this limit. This graph will get a little more realistic as I dropped 6 or 7 buyins over the last two days running into the top of ranges and punting stacks but ignition takes 24 hours so I don't have those HH yet.

It seems like there is no 100NL zoom on ignition so I guess I will just grind it out for a bit before I hit 200NL. Or Maybe I buy some monitors (I am grinding on my old school laptop) and split my roll up across some more sites so I can just play 8 or 10 regular tables.

I'm amazed at how much the game has changed and the quality of free content on youtube. I bought and read modern poker theory and am now working my way the the grinder's manual to shake the rust off. I was definitely a moderate winning reg at 2/4 and 3/6 back in the day for 5bb/100+ but I feel like most of us didn't think about a lot of this stuff correctly. I feel like BD equity from gutshots and FDs is (correctly) attributed more value, bet sizes down to 1/4 pot and frequently 1/3 pot, using overbets (especially on the turn) are all these "new" concepts that were not widespread at all. More likely I just sucked and the dudes crushing back then were already thinking like this?

Anyway - its fun to get back into this as I can't really work at all due to COVID-19 (I'm a dentist now). If work is slow for another few months, and it likely will be, I will probably keep moving up and buy a solver so I can really start diving in and not get wrecked at higher limits. Its a real balance, especially anonymous on ignition, for me to deviate between GTO and super exploitative play but it is fun to think about and of course fun to be back on the grind after stopping pretty much cold turkey after black friday

They are trying but I just keep giving it back!

Legend! In for the triumphant return!

WOoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooh BOYO

Variance monster found me and sent me into 50% monkey mode. Old me would have gone into 100% monkey mode so I am calling it progress. NL100 and NL200 sessions were frustrating as I watched the goons around me rake in chips





Looks like I still won't have work for another week or two so I will grind it back up and report back to my faithful railbird nation

STAY TUNED

gl man.. how many hours u grinding a day?

That was a fun read.

I feel this. Literally exact same story. Although I started with $40 at NL2 and am playing NL10. I did the same thing with my initial bankroll run up 10 years ago. Started with 40 bucks.

Thought I would repeat history and run it up.

I do not know how to insert a working image on this forum.

I'm sun running hard rn. My goals of earning $5 an hour are in my grasp and I only have to neglect time with my friends and my girlfriend to achieve it.

I need Poker friends tho. You wanna PM me and share discord details? I wouldn't mind sweating some sessions and chatting poker if you're into that sort of thing.

My man! I recognize your name/avatar too! Glad to see another oldie still around

Thanks chief. I put in about 5 hours a day in April. I have a VERY addictive personality and have really enjoyed getting back into poker after taking a decade off. I have a real job so this obviously won't continue after the quarantine ends but it is fun for now and I expect to continue playing at a low volume.

Welcome to railbird nation

Good luck fellow grinder. I am an old man and don't even know what discord is. I will keep lone wolfing it for now but will maybe think sweat/chat/hand discussion once I get back up to the fun limits

This weeks goal: Griiiiiiiiiind NL100

I’m the same way man and is gonna suck going back to work. My poker relationship has been all or nothing.

Well boys thats it, we busto. I withdrew my initial deposit so I could chase losses guilt free and tilted off the rest at 1/2 and 2/5. I'm back to the real world, may my fellow grinders run well and prosper

Good night sweet prince, what is dentistry's gain is sh.t postings loss.

never count out a true sht poster

after my last post i did cash out my original deposit but the rest of my words were ALL A TRICK. Had about ~$450 left so I said I will use it to grind nl100 for this month... no NL100 rush on ignition so I'm playing regular tables

tell red baron im coming



skeety out
