Heeere i am again, with all my trouble poker, anyway i hope some will follow this and help me with their ideas and comments on my mistakes etc etc.. i will update each and everyday here, post graphs and hands and i back to NL2 where i started, around 2 weeks ago i took 2nd place in 20 fpp tourney and got BR to try out NL5 where i got busted complitly like, also got busted a bit at NL10, so not so nice, time to forget and start from where i was, NL2... Whish me luck please... I play 4 tables at a time 6max, got small screen though, but will do 6 tables later on i think...

BR start: $73.76

AIM: 40 BIs for NL5
50 NL10
60 NL25

Here is the graph since i stoped playing it:

ok, this is a sensible starting point. Play good opening hands in position. I dont want to see you opening 46s UTG any more Ok?

And dont bother with the tournys for now, just 6max cash until you have got it sussed. you will know you have it when you have a steaady up direction on your graph.

remember to concentrate on getting your money in when you have the best hand and NOT paying your opponents off when you have only a pair and however unlikely it may seem that they drew to runner runner low straight - they did, let it go !

Good luck.

Good luck mate, love your non showdown line, most people don't manage to get it break-even at these microstakes. Thumbs up!

sure m8.. but i defend 64s only on bb though

Ty m8

Once you get your leaks fixed you can stack or cascade your tables and play more on small screen.

Pain pain pain, NL2 isolation bets not working, 3bets not working.

NL5 3bets suxx fish is is still calling, god damn A5s calling a 3bet, sure why not i would never believe he had a set more likely like overpair, if KK or AA he would reraise QQ no..i got QQ, more possiblle small pair or TT like but this is another joke against me, sure i must fold after his raise but instead i pushed mad, better i had 88 instead oh QQ:

I am scared to play AA now even, after i got a call on 4bet i put him on QQ first, then i realise looks like not, so wtf he did a call with, when K on the river he checks, i better damn checks as well i said to myself...

QQ hand: Before acting, think. What kind of fish is he? If he is a calling station and plays passive, maybe folding that flop should be better. On the other hand, if he is an aggressive maniac, you played correctly and get it in.

AA hand: Once again, focus on your opponent. Is he calling 4bets often? With no information, especially, after he checked that flop, I would bet for sure.

Just stop being results oriented and don't let your emotions overcome you. Stay calm. GL

Yeah trying to stay calm, no info on them 2 really just get in on the table and
passed few hands...

Dont think this fish would fold if i cbet, anyway he had a hand to call with ..

Stop making fancy moves. Stop slowplaying. The only way for you to beat these stakes is to value bet value bet value bet. Don't bluff.

Sometimes it's working the slowplaying, against specific opponent.. And about fancy moves, when you got a nuts and push all they call you amazingly well at this stakes...

LOL!!!

2 limpers in front, decided to join the party, then its a raise from ukrainian, he is on small stack so it could be a big hand, not likely he raise light here, and it was abig hand, it might not be the right call but still my fav hand stays one of the most profitable, i decided to call him, i was kinda comitted to that

Correct shoving works perfect vs many opponents at these stakes. Nl5 is full of callingstation but also full of masstabling nits (probably from poor country's I assume) to which slowplaying can work pretty well.

If there's one lesson I'm learning at 10NL it's this: Whatever fold equity you think you have. Halve it. Then halve it again. Even against people running 21/19. Don't assume they have a brain.

Just like that, i was sure he gonna call flush draw or T ok K, str8 all in on the flop nah, n0 fear and correct play he limps KQo on UTG never reraised if it was AA coz some donks do limp in but then sure reraise it:

Dude NL10 is one big nitfest nowadays, your fold equity idea only apply's to Nl2 and maybe NL5

Fold equity < Donk equity.

why do you cbet shove all in alot when you have TP?

not alot really, but in this case i shove top pair + top kicker knowing fish got a lower pair or flush draw(unlikely) i was sure he also going to call as this shove might looks like a bluff after i raised his limp, i was confident he is going to call with weaker hand + i was sure i am going to win it, just killed the fish.

iv seen you do it in a few HH either when its gone x/x x/x shove the river. Or you just cbet jam.

You losing so much money doing this, why do you think people will call you if u shove?

Also post some hand here, its the micro strategy forum.
http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/69...-stakes-pl-nl/

based on theit play really, when you play with them u noticed and making notes by what you see, some calling all in with 2 pairs on 5 cards flush board, some with top pair on house or str8 board, this is all ppls mistakes and i did alot of this as well before, sometimes you think it looks like a bluff and really wanna call, remember the hand 49o vs my KJ with K on the flop it was x49Kx board i would never imagine he can have this his hud numbers where over xx hands 70/4 madness he calls alot and he calls with top pair or mid or even bot pair. I am doing mistakes, 49o vs my KJ i thought he might got a A9 like or K as well, but no kicker, nevermind, but it was my mistakes to think i got a best hand, because here is another example why, have a look on this hand, loads of those fish donks playing mtts for fun also playing diffrent stakes cash games and doing same stuff, thats why i shove against ppl like them, when i am sure and it was exactly the same thing like i only shoved AK though against exact person with same high VPIP number, just proper tilt donk playing 1 table and i wanted everything and str8 away from him, here is the hand i was talking about, almost similar they call without brain they think if they got top pair they are good to go:

here is another hand i missplayed it really, but still, they will call a big river bet, even after my mistake, i dont know why i decided to check the turn, may be coz i wanted someone with weak ace to bet, or bluff then i push with the draw, i think i should have bet the turn here, so i might get more $ from another oponent, so defo a mistake by me but still, he thought his two pair is ok to call:

why do you check the turn? you should be betting for value here, only a 6 is beating you, and he would reraise the flop if he had that.

You seem to be checking a lot of the time when you are very strong, such as the AA hand earlier v jj, if he has QQ or KK in that pot, its just a cooler, you have to bet the flop and turn, and then when K hits the river, your gonna be commited, so if he has QQ or KK, you got unlucky, but least you tried to get value.

and when you shove with the AK, $5 into a $.70 pot, i dont understand that, because nothing can call you, unless they certainly have you beat, so its kinda pointless, just betting for value would be better because you will have the best hand most times anyway
