you will get there just keep on going! gl

Tnx LLcoolJ,

I keep telling myself that you can’t win every session. I Will keep on going!

Well I gathered my guts and played again today haha. I was pretty mad about myself after my last session for calling way to light in some spots. So I told myself before this session what poker is about (for me) and that it is unacceptable to play like that again.

My session went good today. Normal plays no fancy stuff and just kept my self focused. I won $5 and should have won $2. My bankroll is at $184.

Night night

Subed, look likes your moving at a good pace and pretty good starting from $12 . One thing I did notice in many of your hands is you over betting the pot (often well over the pot). You're probably missing a lot of value on your made hands when your opponent folds. You are much better to bet smaller to allow your opponent to call with marginal holdings (I'm oversimplifying this but you get the idea).

Tnx qbvbsite!

Yeah about the overbetting, I learned this from a pokercoach and it is just for the microstakes. People tend to call a lot of flops with their draws and/or toppair hands so thats why I want to bet big OTF so I can shove the Turn more easily (with my good hands ofcourse). Not saying I play all hands correct and on some boards I should have bet less to get more action of smaller hands.

But thank you for your comment I appreciate it! it allows me to discuss hands.

I agree that on wet flops you want to bet big with made hands but I personally would go with 2/3ish pot on those boards. They still don't have the odds to call the bet but when they do you make money over time. By always overbetting while above pot you're making their decision easier to fold. Again oversimplifying it as maybe you want a frequency you want to overbet bluff/monsters but generally, you want them to call with there draws and not always fold them out.

Yeah you have a point there. I will try to implement it in my game.. I think you have different situations like you said and sometimes you shouldn't overbet the pot because you make the villian play good that way. I mean that if you push them out of the hand to easy then they will make less mistakes.

Ty again for your feedback.

Update on 10NL.

I did 3 sessions yesterday and it didn't go that great. My bankroll is $151 at the moment.
Since my start on 10NL I did almost 6000 hands and should have lost $63 but I was lucky and won $2.

I played the sameway as I did on 2NL and 5NL and I noticed that it is time to change my game on 10NL. My redline is going down faster and my blueline isn't going up that fast. I think it is because on 2NL and 5NL I played 100% On the Button and that went great because they don't defend enough and it will make instant money. On 10NL they know this and adjust better so thats why I make less money on 10NL. I also noticed that I could be pretty passive on 2NL and 5NL because villians weren't that aggressive on 10NL I can't get away with that.

All of this said I will try to implement a few things. Play 50% On the Button and 3-bet more in the BB and BTN.

My plan is to drop down to 5NL at $130

Good luck all

Still on 10NL with a small margin..

Bankroll after 3 sessions $143. Still struggling at 10NL. Losing money less fast but still not making money on 10NL.

Well keep trying!

Update 10NL.

I did 2 sessions today and it went great with my new strategy. I won $15 and should have won $16. My redline is above 0 and my blueline is good aswell. (In these sessions I even made a very bad all-in play and lost my whole stack).

It is to early to say that it works great but I feel this is way better than my 2NL and 5NL strategy.

Bankroll is $159.

here is the hand that I played poorly:

Pacific Poker - $0.10 NL FAST (6 max) - Holdem - 6 players
Hand converted by PokerTracker 4

BTN: 193.3 BB
SB: 182.4 BB
Hero (BB): 100 BB
UTG: 56.1 BB
MP: 100 BB
CO: 40 BB

SB posts SB 0.5 BB, Hero posts BB 1 BB

Pre Flop: (pot: 1.5 BB) Hero has 8 5

fold, fold, CO raises to 2 BB, fold, SB calls 1.5 BB, Hero calls 1 BB

Flop: (6 BB, 3 players) 3 8 5
SB bets 3 BB, Hero raises to 11 BB, fold, SB calls 8 BB

Turn: (28 BB, 2 players) 4
SB bets 14 BB, Hero raises to 87 BB and is all-in, SB calls 73 BB

River: (202 BB, 2 players) 6



I think I played it good on the flop but on the turn I just should have called and see what the river brings. Because what can he have after I reraised the flop in a multiwaypot and he called and then leads the turn.

Well let me know what you think.

Goodnight all

Last session on 10NL for now.

Sadly I lost 2 sessions and my bankroll is at $128 now. I would drop down to 5NL at $130 so thats what I will be doing for now.

I am glad I had the chance to play a good amount of hands on 10NL to got an idea of how they play.

For now its my job to keep my ego in check and grind on 5NL again.

Night night

Back on 5NL

I played a longer session today and it went pretty good. I won $11 and my bankroll is $137.

The plan is to grind to at least $160 because the last time I tried to take a shot at 10NL on a $150 bankroll. This way I keep improving my roll even when my shots fail at a higher stake.

Lets gooo

Played 1 session today on 5NL of course.

I won $3 but a bit lucky. I had a set vs set and I hit my quads hehe.

Bankroll ATM $142

Allright it time forrrrr 10NL again.

I did 2 sessions today at 5Nl and won $18, so my Bankroll is at $160.

I am going to take a new shot at 10NL and I am aloud to drop to $140.

Lets gooo

I dont play cash so I might be way off on this but sholdn't this be a fold pre? If your calling 85o you are obviously calling with any suited combo and majority of off suit hands. Is this a even a breakeven call?

I agree with @ExpectedV, it might be tempting to play many pots against these fish but 85o can't be profitable oop.

A fold is fine in my opinion, but when you get really good odds its also fine to just call and play the hand if you hit well, I think.

In this case I wish I folded..

But I agree with you, I mean my money doesn't come from these plays in these spots anyway.

But ty for your comments, its appreciated.

Ty for your comment Zjak, yeah I think you guys are right. It doesn't hurt to get rid of these plays in my game.

Update on My 2nd attempt on 10NL.

I played 4 sessions and won $14 but should have won $22.

I felt that I played a solid game, I tightend my openings a bit and raised my agression a little. I also took the advice to bet a little less for value so villains will continue with worse hands. This is my new plan to tackle 10NL.

I think I played like 7000 hands on 10NL and I feel that people play tighter and don't go all-in that easy.

Bankroll: $174

#Update 10NL

I played a good session today, but luck wasn't on my side. I should have won $26 but I lost -$0,36.

That said I am pretty happy about my graph off 10NL on my 2nd attempt. its only 2000 hands but still better than my first attempt.

Cant help but notice that most times you find something else to blame for not running perfectly as expected. You will probably never have the exact outcome as statistically possible so I would stop thinking and talking about that and looking for hands where you may have made an error.

Thinking about bad and good luck doesn't really help you progress, it just takes you away from what matters.

For me it is not ment to blame on anything. I find it important that my actual EV is positive instead of my actual winnings.

I am keeping track of my challenge and it's just to give more information besides of what I won or lost.

But I noticed that you focus on the negative things in my challenge instead of the positives. But every man is a free man and can comment what he wants.
