If you want to get better at multi tabling play 1 fast fold table and add regular tables?? Reg tables are way softer and a lot slower..

Thanks for the advise, i have really bad tilt issues, these players are really aggressive and constantly bet big as they have the nuts all the time, they frustrate me till the point i start playing aggressive myself but that is my downfall.

They can’t have the nuts every time : )

Why?

Another bad day where i lost close to 8 100BB stacks because i have been tilting so much.

That's right they cant, so why do they play like that they do have the nuts all the time and they seem to have it every time i call them, when i get pushed around i take a stand to find out to that they have it, its like when i calling i lose when i betting i lose.

When i play at the casino I'm such a patient player and even when i get bad beats i understand that when i get it on good i will win in the long run, Online on fastforward poker at Partypoker when you play you have no idea who is a maniac and who is tight because they play a hand and move to the next table, so most of the times i feel as if I'm being bluffed a lot specially out of position which frustrates me and then makes me make those loose calls and then i lose and go on tilt, and if i was playing a patient game now I'm playing aggressive because they **** me off. sorry about the language but I'm frustrated and worn out.

So why not just play regular tables??

Post some hands where you are loosing stacks?

I should play regular tables if i get frustrated, that way i can see who is the maniac. I will post hands in the future, thank you for your help and advise.

Very good analysis of your tilt. I recognize this. In my own situation, I realized that I was unbalanced in a lot of spots, which made me have no clue what I was doing. Then you'll find yourself in a guessing game a lot of the time. Of course you're gonna be wrong a lot if you're just guessing, so that will cost you a lot of money. You feel like you fold when they bluff and you call when they don't.

The obvious solution to this is: improve your game. Know where you're at in every single hand. Have a balanced 3betting range. Balance your checks, so you can sometimes easily call down a bluffing maniac.

Always have a reason for bluffcatching: he limped, his story doesn't check out, and so on and so on. Don't play the guessing game. It's about YOUR hands, not theirs. They have ranges.

Okay, I'm using mathew janda ranges from application of no limit holdem, are they any good for these days or should i look some other place, i need 2bet ranges, 2bet call ranges, 3bet ranges, 3bet call ranges , 4bet ranges, 4 bet call ranges and 5 bet shove ranges, zenith poker offers all those spots should i use them instead.

Its 2:44am over here, UK time and i have just sat down fast forward pool, only seems to be around 55 players, its 5 handed and at some point it will be 4, going to play the regulars for a few hours and try and beat them, no tilting this time, if i tilt i get off and take a break and come back with a clear mind.

It's been so long since I've dived into this stuff, but I liked PokerSnowie ranges before.

Okay thanks, appreciate it.

Hello!
All the best for your goal, I've also set a similar goal.
I'm from India and my starting bank roll was 300 INR which I have turned into 3000 INR and the goal is to make it 100k INR, started my challenge with 3000 INR yesterday.
Hope to meet the goal soon.

Hey man,

Been trying to keep up with this when I can. Sorry to hear the challenge has taken a bit of a downswing currently.

Like a lot of us triers in the micro-stakes, it goes well when you're winning and then tilt sees you freefall when you start losing. Lord knows I've done that many a time, particularly when I've been having a dead run of cards. Have you thought about having a stop-loss, say if you lose 3 buy-ins to quit there and then and take some time before getting back on the tables? It's helped me before.

What learning resources are you using? I'm thinking of going with 6-max cash games to start off with, 2NL, like yourself. I've no clue what's the best book to read currently. I'd go with a training site but they seem expensive for the time being, and I've been out of the game long enough to not know what's the best around.

That KK hand was unlucky. I'm surprised he called in a 3-way pot with a player behind him to act. The turn shove seems a bit spewy though to me. It feels like a spot where the only hands he'll call with are ones that have you crushed (AK/AQ/QQ?). and I don't know if we're getting value from AT or worse. Though it seems your looking at GTO, and I've not delved into that myself.

Anyway, keep it up and hope the results turn back around soon enough.

Well done mate, keep it up and you will get there.

Thanks buddy, yes the turn was spewy, but that was when i was tilting, that was an example of players playing fishy and getting lucky, i know i made a mistake by shoving. Thanks for the advise and support, i will start adding stop losses from now on, i don,t use any softwares apart from PokerTracker, the free ones are PokerEquilab and the free version of PioSolver for equity distribution. I have not read many books, harrington on holdem and applications of no limit holdem are the only 2 books i have read, one was for tournaments and the other cash game. try and download for free online pdf version if you can find it, that's what i did.

What have I been doing the last 9 to 10 days, I was told that the range's I was using was no good and that there are better ones for these days and the one's I was using were outdated. So I started looking around to see where I might be able to find 6 max range's, I needed opening range's, flatting, 3betting, call 3bets, 4betting, call 4bets, 5betting range's. It took me a while but I did eventually manage to get a hold of all those range's plus more which I'm really happy about but they are complicated in the sense that you have to play your preflop range by either opening, flatting, 3betting, call 3bets, 4betting, call 4bets, 5betting at different frequencies, that's hard unless you're playing 1 table and you use a random number generator which I can do since I'm playing 1 table for this challenge. I know my problems are not how I play preflop but how I play postflop, tilt is a massive issue, but im working on it, also good bankroll management is necessary to try and not hurt your win rate. I have put a plan in place to try and minimise those those actions that hurt me the most, for example tilt, when this happens I get off straight away and take 2 to 3 minutes break to help me control my emotions, I have a 2 buy in stop loss daily, and for the times I feel as if I'm being bluffed a lot, I will lay my hand down and say well played sir keep on playing like that one day I will get you. I have also decided to purge my previous hands in the database so I can start a fresh database with the new range's that I have to see how it works out, my bankroll stands at $35.03 and the same plan stands for moving up stakes when I hit those targets and moving back down when needed.

1st LEVEL 1c-2c (Bankroll $40)
2nd LEVEL 2c-5c (Bankroll $125)
3rd LEVEL 5c-10c (Bankroll $250)
4th LEVEL 10c-25c (Bankroll $625)
5th LEVEL 25c-50c (Bankroll $1250)
6th LEVEL 50c-$1 (Bankroll $2500)
7th LEVEL $1-$2 (Bankroll $5000)

Time to get back on the grind and keep on stacking chips.
