I give up at 25nl. Lose $50 like clock work every session. However, in the process of losing $500, I have yet to have a single session where I ended up over two buy ins. My bankrolls currently $350, so I'm going to force myself to drop down. In all honesty, I am unmotivated to grind 10nl. Firstly, because it's nearly where I started off 5 long months ago. Secondly, I was playing 100nl / $50 HUSNGs just over a month ago-- despite being a substantially worse player. Yes, I'm probably not that good and 40k hands isn't a significant sample... Yes, I have only myself to blame for continually exercising incorrect bankroll management... Yes, I have the wrong mindset... Still frustrating. Not gonna play a ton between now and summer, but will try to update occasionally.

Just played 600 hands, down $75. No significant mistakes. This was pretty tilting though. Bet sizes should be bigger, but was really trying to keep him in the pot.

Really more like 30k tops at 25nl

Except for the first one where I was a total spazz

So what now?

I'm sure the correct answer is something along the lines of play fewer tables, drop down in stakes, study more ect.. All of which, though, I'm already doing or have done. So to answer your question, I'm basically going to be playing 500-1000ish hands of 10nl a day. I get out of school in 2 weeks, and I plan on playing a lot of poker during the summer. Outside of hand review though, I'm not too keen on doing any real studying until schools out and I'm playing above 10nl / 25nl-- since I feel like these stakes should be beatable by virtue of simply eliminating mistakes.

I feel somewhat confident in my game, and am consistently getting a ~6-7 error rate on Snowie 12 tabling (I'm not sure if Snowie is considered a great indication of ability, but I think it's pretty reliable to a certain extent). Maybe I am, but I don't think I'm deluding myself by believing I should be able to beat 25nl. I don't really ever do anything 'wrong' preflop (if each decision is viewed in a vacuum), but my ranges aren't totally balanced or anything either. Postflop I don't know what to do all the time, but mistakes are usually pretty small and few in number.

Am really looking forward to summer though. I don't have anything going on, so playing 3k hands a day should be pretty reasonable. Also should have a lot of time to study.

My last attempt at 25nl. I think I'm probably down at least $600 dollars at 25nl in all, over a relatively small sample. Was just looking at a variance simulator, to put in perspective.

Yeah 8k hands is literally nothing. Chances are you need to do a bit of work on your game off the table though.

Finished exams, played 3k hands last night. Ended down $30, but was negative $50 in EV.

can I ever fold pre, if villain is really tight? or if I'm sure he never 4bets queens.

Check? Raise bigger pre?

Wp

I'd raise to $9 or $10 pre, esp after BB cold calls. As played, well done.

Yeah that is really small 4b after a 3b and call.

also I wouldn't 4b more than $7 since u can't have a bluffing range when u stick $9-10 in
