I agree with KP, your BRM is a recipe for disaster! Playing with a more comfortable amount of buy ins will help your mental game and those 2 outers will be a lot less painful. Even for a proven winner at a limit 15 buy ins is still high risk. But....feel free to ignore everyone's advice and go busto
it's not like I'm taking agressive shots till I'm busto. I take 2 BI stop loss shots.

Goals for this week [25.11-2.12]:
[ ] 14k hands
[ ] receive 2 sweats + give 2 sweats
[ ] record another session and get feedback from it
[ ] reread jared tendler 100% and take notes (hand-written) to important points
^FREEROLLZagain, you the deal: pick a goal; this time for 15$ per goal I don't achieve
Really don't like the turn x/jam in the first hand. It's really tough to get called by worse except for sets because you block most 2P combos, plus you can't rely on villain to bet much of his flop calling range on this turn card in the first place considering your range looks like a lot of SDV which may or may not fold.
Second hand is probably okay. I'd probably just b/b/jam myself, but you probably have a fair few bluffs in your range here. I'm not sure, but x/c turn and any river might be better as well because a bunch of regs are going to barrel off in that spot when you cap your perceived range.

I can agree with TheDefiniteArticle here, in the first hand it looks like you hoped he made 2 pair and shoved because you think he will call off his stack and also maybe try chase a river flush with bad odds.
It also looked likely that he was on a flush draw maybe JKh KTh TJh K9h 9Th J9h could be in his flop calling range? So he would only be calling your shove with some flush hands too which has you beat. He would most likely be 4 betting KK or maybe even QQ pre so it may be less likely for him to have in this spot? not sure, depends on the villain.
I think you can take a line where you can get more value by just making a reraise of 30 or even 25 the turn which will give him bad odds when he makes the call, this can also keep 2 pair hands, weaker sets and even lower pairs in his range which is good for you. If the river pairs the board and he hits a boat then you have him as you will have the bigger boat, you will also beat his back door flush draws and he will be much more willingly to call you with the worst hand and you will get a ton of value
In again for the record session one. Hope you do make it this time.
Also, as long as you are not tilt prone and have a stoploss that you actually respect it's fine to be more aggressive with your BRM because poker prob doesn't pay your bills and other expenses now and it prob won't playing 25nl where you're living .
Sorry Deeepz if you thought I was hating...I slightly misunderstood you previously. Taking a 2 buy in shot is fine I suppose but you're going to have to run v good from the off to stay at that limit.
You do seem to want to move up through the limits at an unrealistic pace though and I think this might hurt you in the future. Slow and steady is the way to go rather than BAM BAM BAM .... BUST! However if you don't mind going bust a few times then whatever, I suppose you do learn more the hard way and will take more care in the future.
I think you understood it wrong. Im taking 15 BI shots with 2bi stop loss. Meaning i take shots at 50NL w/ 750$ br and when I hit 600-650ish i move back down
It's funny how people who try to give realistic and serious advice get described a haters just because the OP doesn't like the advice.
I am only trying to help you so if you want to do a sweat or discuss a few spots pm me!
that's a nice come back! I don't know how you do to already shoot nl 50 ! I would have tilted so much if i had lost ! Hope you will achieve your goals by going to Nl50, you deserve it! I will stick to Nl25 from my point of view until 2.5k roll, i'm too affected by results ( that's a big problem that i must solve )
I said I was not hating and I think same goes for Bubbleboy.
It just seems as though our man takes shots lightly which is more aggressive than the standard which is of course fine - really I agree it is.
But. Then posting graphs of a sample of less than 1000 hands and referring to it as a "comeback" rather than a "sick heater" shows a minimal understanding of variance which then affects the decision to take aggressive shots.
Actually it was 3.5k hands
And I do have understanding of variance. I just wanted to share witj you that even a bad daystart can turn around surprisingly so you dont lose motivation
And when will u let me sweat you kp?
Edit about variance: i also think too many players blame everything on variance and downswings instead of trying to plug the leaks
