I played both some 25nl and 50nl zone for about an hour.

25nl there were still a lot of people limping pf.

At both limits I didn't really encounter very much tough aggressive play.

It played on par with 10nl ACR except more passive.

Trying out an adjustment. Lowering c-bet freq and more focus into using time bank to think through my ranges as much as possible. Even if I have to close out and reopen the table (blitz) to reset it. I'm fighting for pots in the wrong ways. Without a doubt I have a leak coming from bloating up pots.

Trying out more adjustments. Going through some new material that has been really exciting to go through. Honestly haven't even thought about playing for a few days is how absorbed I have been. Will update later, too busy

Here's a little update. This graph is ACR 10nl reg table results for this weekend so far, applying some of the adjustments I have been studying about. I had given up on reg tables on ACR a few months back after running 10 buy-ins under EV in less than 1k hands. Also didn't help that I tilted off about another 6-7 buy-ins in tilt. In total it only took about 2k hands before I was down $160 on the ACR 10nl reg tables, 16 ****ing buy-ins in 2k hands. Talk about downswings. I have had 3 15-20 buy-in downswings this year (150-200k hands) and so far managed to crawl back from all but this reg table one. I'm only about 6-7 buy-ins from being break-even again there.

This is my next goal for now, is to reach break-even on the ACR reg tables at 10nl. This is going to give me a huge boost to confidence and likely a little pat on the back that the work I'm putting in isn't for nothing. Also will put the bankroll just that much closer to being rolled to shot take 50nl and/or move up to 25nl and completely drop 10nl tables.

BvB game showing BIG improvement.

Still struggle with finding the fold button sometimes with bluffcatchers. Need convinced that it's just not worth it.

Been playing with GTO+ and equilab when going through my HHs recently. I'm almost too focused on getting experience using the programs but I am really enjoying learning how to dive deeper into study. Also keeping up with modules and other videos/lectures. There is so ****ing much to soak in and learn about. The more I think I am getting exposed to or figuring out, the more I'm reminded how much I don't know and how poorly I have played countless hands.

Nothing else really to update. Bankroll is still swelling so still on the right path. Getting close to the next BR milestone ($1,875) despite not moving up stakes yet.

Still prioritizing (or trying to) quality over quantity play. Not getting many HHs like I could when playing strictly blitz/zone but I think it's fine.

Posting this hand because I feel like it was a nice snap shot of progress. I would have been perfectly happy in playing villains hand the way he did just a few months/weeks ago. In the moment I know that I would have been fogged to the point of only thinking "one time ace, need to bet to win, need to win this hand" kind of thoughts. And when that river ace came I would also have been shoving my entire stack in and then probably raging my face off when I got shown pocket aces. Feels like I have come such a long way and at the same time feels like I have made 0 forward progress. Such a weird place to be.

I know it sounds stupid but this hand would never have played out this way just a short time ago. I would have blown him off his hand PF or OTF or found a way to blunder, missing out on loads of EV. This has been one of my major focus points lately. Trying to get some solid info from my new HUD set up and adjust accordingly. So far this feels like my best HUD design and the adjustments are making sense and seem to be paying off. Short terms results are whatever but just in general everything seems better. Still so much to learn and improve on

How about an update. Been struggling with shot takes and moving up stakes. I still stand behind my approach and revisions I have made up until this point. I'm feeling pretty good about my game recently which actually worries me a little because I don't want to get caught up in results and become mentally fogged/skewed.

I'm on a mega-heater right now. Overall I'm not far off all-in EV so I don't think I'm necessarily running super hot but nonetheless, results are up. This weekend decided to buckle down and fire up four 25nl tables. Most of the motivation for this came from watching the BR grow further and further away from the guidelines I set for shot taking. Turned out to be +EV.

I'm not sure what to do now. 5k hands. Is that a big enough sample to consider this shot take a success? I can't see how I shouldn't consider it a success because I can basically lose 20 BI now at the stake and not have to move down still. Maybe feels a little off because the entire roll was built on 10nl.

I highly doubt I will stay a 20bb winner at the stake. The reason this is throwing a slight curve in the road is because the shot take for 50nl was going to be when the BR reached $1,875. Last night, I hit that mark. The bankroll has officially reached and past the next milestone marker. According to our bankroll rules most recently revised, I am rolled to shot take 50nl tables and completely drop 10nl tables. Dollar-wise, last night was the biggest cash out day I have had. I'm not sure if I am mentally ready to play 50nl tables yet. This has come a lot faster than anticipated. I set the goal to shot take 50nl for the end of the year. For now I think I am going to lean on looking at this like I have over 2 months more to play before I need to shot take 50nl for sure. This is 2 months to study more and reinforce some things I probably need to go back to. I can also use this time to continue to build my roll so that down the line I have a bigger cushion for the shot take.

Like I said, I'm not 100% sure on how to move forward when moving up stakes and I would appreciate any honest advice or if anyone wants to share some experiences. Maybe one of you went through something similar where moving up was happening faster than you thought it was going to.

Oh I think those are biggest pots filtered by month, not the entire shot take

Hi,

It's great to hear about your progress and your thoughtful approach to moving up the stakes.
Making the transition to higher stakes can be both exciting and challenging.

Here are some pieces of advice that might help you navigate this transition:

• Bankroll Management:
  It's crucial to ensure that you have a sufficient bankroll to comfortably withstand the variance at your new stake.
  While you've reached the monetary milestone for 50nl, consider whether you're mentally and emotionally prepared for the increased stakes.
  If you have any doubts, it might be wise to give yourself some more time at 25nl to solidify your game and build an even more substantial cushion.
  While having guidelines for moving up in stakes is essential, remember that these rules should serve as a framework, not rigid laws.
  If you don't feel ready for 50nl, it's okay to delay your move until you're more confident.
  
• Sample Size:
  A 5,000 hand sample is a decent start, but it's relatively small in the world of poker.
  Consider continuing to play at 25nl for a larger sample size if you're not entirely sure about your win rate at the new stake.
  The larger the sample, the more accurate your assessment of your performance will be.
  
• Study and Review:
  This is an excellent time to intensify your study efforts.
  Review your hand histories, analyze your play, and identify areas where you can improve.
  Seeking coaching or discussing hands with other experienced players can provide valuable insights.
  
• Mindset:
  Moving up in stakes can bring increased pressure and expectations.
  Be prepared for tougher competition and be mentally ready to handle potential downswing.
  Confidence is essential, but overconfidence can lead to mistakes. Stay humble and focused on continuous improvement.
  
• Goal Setting:
  Reevaluate your long-term goals. Moving up stakes is just one step in your poker journey.
  Consider what you want to achieve in the medium and long term, and how moving up fits into that vision.

Remember that poker is a journey, and it's important to balance ambition with prudent decision-making.
Rushing into higher stakes can be risky if you're not fully prepared.
Take the time to feel comfortable and confident at your new level and continue working on your skills and mindset.

Best of luck with your poker journey, and may your success continue!

Thanks slyless, I always like reading what you have to write.

I am in the process of reevaluating my goals. I don't think that I am mentally or emotionally ready to move up aggressively/quickly and am heavily leaning towards playing out at least 50k hands at 25nl. I looked at the numbers again and it would simply be more comfortable shotting 50nl with a 2-2.5k roll rather than 1.8k. The monetary goal was reached but I should remember that $ isn't the actual goal. It's just the byproduct.

As far as study goes. Study vs playing time has changed dramatically. I find myself spending hours and hours (like it's my hobby like climbing) going through videos and trying to learn better ways to understand everything. Study time is heavily outweighing play time. Not sure if this is optimal but I would like to believe mindfulness study is better than mindlessness playing.

I have decided to take a portion of my BR and use it for coaching. I contacted PWR and they responded to work with their coach until I reach the standards for CFP. I think the coaching will help highlight (probably many) obvious and standard leaks. It's a little steep imo for my BR but if I take away anything EV+ then it should be worth it. I would like to get into a network of other players to discuss hands and strategy etc, however, not so much luck with that. I think my lack of experience likely impacts this in a negative way.

I'm not sure if I should look into other CFPs. I'm still not sure if I would contract with one because I have a full time job (although I have a load of free time at work) I lived a very free lifestyle for years (backpacking the US and Europe homeless for 6+years) and I hate working a 9-5 so poker is something that offers me a great deal if I can become successful at a certain level.

I kinda stopped posting here because I'm not getting feedback on this thread specifically (or my previous one). And let's be honest, why would I listen to anyone blindly here? I don't really gain any value from posting hands or graphs or updating anyone on my progress since I doubt anyone really gives 2 shits lol The reason I started the blog was honestly KidCudi147's thread. I was super inspired after reading it and thought if I record my feelings/thoughts/graphs etc that it would somehow help me improve. I think all it did was distract me for hours at a time wondering what to write out on here to fit in or get attention. I don't really think that twoplustwo has added much value to my poker game or understanding of it. I'm also not a understanding enough player to decipher through all the BS and filter what I may or may not get value from here. It's probably much higher EV to just browse here once a week or something and keep to studying as much as possible. At least I feel like I should be able to trust Upswing more than some micro 2+2 posters. Not ripping on anyone because of the stakes we are at, I'm just a pissant micro grinder too. and maybe just tilted lol


Supposed to start with the coach this Friday. I am pretty excited to hear how bad of a player I am and just ready to get some direction and be able to ask questions. My poker journey has been a lone ranger sort of approach and it's been quite a ride battling my thoughts and emotions trying to figure it out on my own

Thanks for coming by and dropping some sound advice, I do appreciate it.

Coaching can indeed provide a significant boost to your poker skills, potentially helping you reach the standards expected in a CFP.

Many CFP programs maintain private chat groups where participants can interact with each other and discuss various poker-related topics. It's a valuable resource for learning and sharing insights within the community.

If you're considering joining such a program or already have a coach, it's an excellent idea to inquire whether they have these private chat groups and if it's possible for you to be invited. Being part of such a community can greatly enhance your learning experience and overall progress in poker.

Incorporating more K6s and K5s into 4bet bluffs IP (i think i should only do this IP). Not exactly sure if I should be triple barreling but definitely put villain in a tough spot, tanked his entire time bank.

@slyless, another TB spot in 3BP. If you have time, can we talk about the differences in these 2 hands? How/what much effect does the broadway card have OTF vs OTR?

Probably played this just as bad. I think turn call is perfectly okay. He's going to still have a lot of missed broadways and Ax. The queen, or maybe any broadway ig really hammers my range OTR to only calling with QQ/AQs? I should be looking to call down vs hyper aggressive players maybe more than this player type. Villain being so tight makes me think this call is even worse OTR.

I think I can play this spot a little better by checking K6 and K6 OTT. I can still bluff with them OTR though.

The ranges could probably be adjusted better but it's a start I guess

Do you have K6s pure in your 4bet range? I'm curious why you 4bet this hand or was it something w/ this specific villain?

This was my best guess on ranges here:

SB


BU


GTOw actually has the SB leading 100% for about a quarter pot.

And when they check it has you checking quite a bit.
I think this board isn't particularly favorable for the 4bettor.
Here's the recommended strat:



Here's the strat as played to the turn:

My interpretation of the spot is that on a board like this where equities will change on a ton of run outs you don't want to be doing a lot of betting and when you do you want to size up. So i don't think a small bet makes sense here.

Because a lot of your hands want to check you have to put a lot of value into the checking range w/ enough variety so that you're well protected on a bunch of run outs.

But at lower stakes where every node gets over folded I think you are able to get away with a lot of aggression so maybe not terrible in practice, but idk I'm just some guy.
