Beating the micros (take 2)

Hello all, its time for my journey. I will be working my way up from nl2 to small stakes or higher. Step one has three parts to it. I will be making sure i can still beat nl2 fullring, then switching over to 6max, then finally making my way to nl5.
I used to play nl5 rush pre Black Friday and haven't played since. I did not have a winning strategy until a few months prior. Then execution and discipline became a problem. Finally had 2 weeks straight where i played good and was almost ready to attempt to make the jump to nl10 when Black Friday happened.
I have hm2 and will be starting off with 1 table while i knock off the rust and will add on tables as i get comfortable and will drop tables if needed while incorporating new concepts. I won't get a lot of volume in so it will be a long journey.
Brm i will move up with 20 buyins and dropping down at 18. As far as nl2 goes if i drop below 18 i will switch to fullring til i have 20 again.

Subbed for new thread. glgl!

Thanks, i finally feel ready to learn completly, and realised how to learn best. Take one concept and work on it instead of tryna do it all at once. I think the most difficult thing will be mental and not tilt, but switching to 6max which I've never played before. I've always felt right is right and therefore always stuck to fullring. But since i cant play at stars or FTP i have no choice but to make the switch. Acr is all 6max above nl2 as far as traffic unless things changed yesterday with the beast tables changing. Will update thread day after my sessions with stats, graphs, hh, and br/profit

Played yesterday and boy did it feel great! 3 year break thanks to us doj/FBI.... Anyway it went well. Only about 100 hands but i finished in the green, and the best part is that it was at 6max. I started on a fullring but the table broke within five hands or so and the other fullring tables running we're short tables(50bb max) so i jumped on a 6max table and did ok. Made one bad call when villain raised river, other than that i think i didnt make any stupid mistakes where i know i know better. Will post the hand later today or tomorrow since I'm at work now. I did save my graph and stats tho to my phone.
Including the few hands at fullring
Nl2 118 hands +$1.65 69.92bb/100
My playing stats were 23/18/2(3b)/2(af)
There were a few times i got to the flop and noticed villain had af>8 and cb flop 100 and turn <25 so i floated him a few times and took it away with a bet on river. Turn was checked thru, was thinking i should probably bet the turn in those situations so he doesn't catch a pair on the river. Will post those hands later when i get a chance. Anyway here's my epic volume graph from yesterday

Gotta get that pic bigger, does it look blurry to anyone else?
Edit
Ok got it working better

This.

Good job man! Looking forward to seeing some hands.

I originally wanted to take notes during session but i will leave it for hh review as its much easier. Only 100 hands so far but 6max isn't as scary as i thought its be so i might change up the Brm a bit seeing as i may not need to knock off rust where I'm comfortable. I noticed something strange tho about acr, only one table nl5 but 3+ nl2 and nl10+, what's up with that? Regs have already moved up to 10 or haven't moved up to 5 yet and the fish dont like 5? lol excited to be back in action, will post more thoughts in a bit I'm sure as I'm bored at work

Thanks, I'll get them out tonight

Some concepts I'm going to start working on will be, 3betting, isolation, playing oop, showdown value/thin value. But since i already started doing it in my first session i will work on exploiting agressive players who cbet too much. Also, I've only had hm2 for a few days so I'm still getting used to it, gonna have to play around with it more and get comfortable

having trouble with hh convertor.... its supposed to be a pop up? i allow popups and nothing happens when i click link...

villain is 16,12/7 so i felt ok flatting his 3b



villain is 21/16/2 and this is my terrible river call



villain is 18/12



villain is 20/17 with 100 cb i played intended to take the hand away but waited til river and feel it should've been on the turn



same villain from hand 3 and played with same intention as hand 4

Oh, hand1 aq has 43% equity vs his(a) 7% 3b range whoops lol
Otf we have 67% equity tho and 82% ott when we get it in

Oh i dont have any questions regarding these hands but i guess wanna be sure that hands 4&5 its correct to float given villains flopcb rate and wants to show hand 2 for shame as thats an easy fold, even told myself that it's an easy fold before i called lol.

Subbed. GL with your goals

I wouldn't take your HUD to seriously untill you have a decent sample of your opponents btw

Thanks and yea i wasn't going to but when i saw this guy didnt bet flop once out of 8-9 times i felt like trying to exploit him. Maybe he was on a heater but i figured id find out

Hand 3 I'm thinking now that i could've raised smaller. I i taille raised all in with the thinking that when u dont know how much to bet, shove as u will get called enuf to make up for the times they fold. If i were to size that bet differently I'm thinking raise 2.5x? So $1.40?

Its nice having extra time to study and read more in between sessions but i am eager to play again even tho it probably won't be too Sunday again. I'll go look for a cotw that deals with floating i guess, since thats what I'm kinda working on now

subbed glgl

Thanks

today 52 hands +$1.37
overall 170 +$3.02 89bb/100

today

overall

will post some thoughts tomorrow, there's one hand i'd like some thought on

Villain 73/27/40(3b)/.7(af) 11 hands fishy unkown
how's my bet sizing?




villain 30/11 over 48 hands

Super small sample size still but i feel surprisingly comfortable at 6max so i may change to a 10 buyin rule, may not tho. We will see when i get to 10 buyins for nl5. Either way, when i move up, I'll just replace one table of nl2 with nl5. Currently only one tabling but will likely start playing 2 next session

GL

Thanks steve
