why didnt u bet flop in hand 2?:O

I'm guessing it's been suggested before, but you really shouldn't be mass-tabling before you get to 25NL.

Why is this, im currently at 10nl and struggle when i play more than 12 tables but dont know why?

Stu

fyp. these threads tilt me but whatever, I guess its better having okay players play 5nl rather than higher

[QUOTE=isunkurbttlship;27942446]fyp/QUOTE]

I was talking more in the context of playing for a living, assuming your life expenses aren't that high and/or you live in a "poorer" country then you can make a living/pay the bills at 25nl.

For example with me i've just done a rough budget and i only need ~$350 to breakeven/come ahead a little per week, and i pay for everything i use/do/have etc minus any form of board or rent [i'm no life baller obv], not that i'm planning on going pro at 25 at all, but since im not working currently at least i know i'm capable of not living in a negative financial situation on an average week.

If your talking about purely getting better at poker then yes your 100% correct.

yeah i was. fwiw tho i never played below 50 so maybe it is beneficial to mass at lower stakes, but i have my doubts

OP, you are costing yourself so much money by playing 5NL. Spend those 270 hours studying, playing 4 tables and moving up. That is just grossly more profitable than playing 5NL.

Because your playing on autopilot and not actually taking time to think about EVERY decision you make, this is how you get learn and improve, talk yourself through EVERY decision. Can't be done playing more than about 4 tables at a time.

I would say to OP to do this as well, but you seem to be set on putting yourself through what I see as a painstaking and needless proccess, but GL anyway.

If guaranteed money is what you want then go get it

NL5 and NL10 @ stars is a nit fest , you could play nl25 instead more donks.

GL mate!

Just a note : with 500k hand on NL5 FR you'll get ~9800 vpps, not ~12k!
(i have a 164k hands sample with 19.5 vpp/1k hands)

Sorry I haven't updated in a while, I haven't had the time. Im really frustrated about the lack of volume i've put in. By this time I wanted to have played 60k hands but instead I've only played 42k.

here is the graph of the month so far...




Im at 59k vpps right now so I should be getting the 60k $100 bonus in hopefully two days time.

I'll try and update again in 2-3 days time.

Why don't you just move up to 10nl and double your money? The players are just as bad.

I dont know why people think that in nl5 and nl10 there are lots of fish ? All you small stakers there take a look @ the tables running they are all full of nits and solid tags who wont give money away . Those days are over. Good luck to thread owner .

Wut?

There are plenty of poor players. Filter your view to tables with a VPIP over 40; it's easy to get 4-6 tables with atleast 1 or 2 complete donks.

I'm interested in seeing what people have to say about the varying skill levels at 5nl, 10nl and 25nl...

Eh? I can still find plenty of 6 max 100NL tables with at least one fish and with no strong regs. I can think of a very appropriate Rounders quote that may apply to you here...

No money at micros, everyone is solid.

Nice sample size. What stakes?

LOL at the turn action. Didn't know Stars had "No-limit, 'sept for the turn" games.

lol its a tiny sample size i'm on a huge heater, but a lot of that profit is also from the pool of terrible players.

Of course you can find and constantly change tables to get 6 good tables running , but im saying that playing 24 tables , selection has nothing to do with that. And im talking about FR not 6max, in 6max fortunately there are plenty of donks and fishes .

Perhaps it would be logical to play 6 max? Also, if the 5NL players were actually any good they would have moved up.

lol move up already, and next time u flop the 2nd nut flush try not to take 26bets to get a 65bb stack in

Starting to run a lot better now...


I'll try and play 35k hands in the next two days to try and catch up with my lack of volume. Oh and my graph may look a little off from my "amount won" because of euro tables.

Whats ur reasoning to not moving up ?
