sup bro!

I havent 'found' it anyhow as i m still working my way into 50nl
i do find the quality of villains' games significantly better than at 25nl however many still are really weak in comparison to what i d call a solid reg so given the fact i am now playing 6 or 9 tables i think when i focus i can really beat this limit very solidly. i am taking it slow though playing short sessions aiming to play my best game and watching a ton of vids in order to improve my poker thinking constantly. i dont wanna rush it and i think wrt moving up slow and steady surely wins the race.

haven played a single hand of 100nl since 2009 when i was a massive fish haha. i do think tho that once i establish myself and show some consistency at 50nl i ll be pretty quick to take shots at 100nl

here s all the 50nl hands i have played since december.



i d grade the avg quality of my play in this sample a C+. first 24k hands is me masstabling when finishing up supernova and latest 6k hands is my shot at 50nl 6max. i am going to aim and play my B+ or better game in every session i play from here on out which is oing to be much easier given that i have less decisions to make per time frame

fingers crossed

Hey man!

What percentage do u reckon the graph with the profit of 25nl is split up;
i.e where do you think you make your most money from..Fish,weak regs, solid regs and crushers.

i think there s no crushers at 25nl. i think i mainly break even/slightly win vs good regs, most of that redline comes from weak regs and most of the blueline comes from weak regs and fish

cant attach any numbers to that tho

Nice read, I've seen you post in a few PG&C threads and then seen you had one of your own. Interesting analyses on hands.. which is more than I've got from the other few threads I'm following. Sick graph, keep the crushing going. I imagine you'll be at 200NL in no time - you seem to have a solid understanding of the game and that's more than what can be said for the majority of lowstakes. Just make sure you run according to EV (or better! )

Good luck, I'll be following!

Seem to be crushing sick. How "far" do you go playing zoom, especially when flatted and your out of position? I agree that the winning hand is way stronger in zoom than reg tables, and that it is mostly a game of 3 betting the right people correctly and making good folds. But even so, raising a hand like aq or 88 oop against the better players that call in position is not so much fun if you bet with over cards and under pairs and get called. How often do you bet turn on blanks vs people that love to call value hands in position and raise bluffs etc? What stats roughly were u running at? Biggest winners I seem to see based on my hands and datamined is roughly 22/19/8, though I play tighter.

i think you shouldnt look at things this way.
i always try to make the best possible play given the villain i am up against. vs some i barrel second pair for value vs others i checkfold flop vs others i turn 2nd pair into a bluff. it all depends on how those villains play certain parts of their ranges and how they react to aggression

i was running around 22/19/7 in 25nl fr and 25nl fr zoom

That is a very nice graph. How much % is fr vs 6 max? Also how many tables did you play at a time to get such results and with that how many hands/hrs could you log. I currently just moved up from 25nl to 50nl and I agree with you that the skill is significantly higher but still very much beatable. Best of luck crushing 50nl.

6tabling 50nl since yday:

didnt have much time today as i had to move my stuff over from where i got kicked out of to a friend's place who s been kind enough to offer me their guest room until i leave for amsterdam. did discuss a bunch of hands and managed to sueeze in a nice little 90 minute session. i will grade my play a solid B+. made one slight mistake where i got in QQ pre vs a passive fish. dont thin that its max ev the way i played it but w/e:
