Hi 2p2!
About me
I started playing poker online in the summer of 2008. First I played NL10 FR and – after losing my first $50 – I was quite successful. One year later I played NL30 and I had around $1.000 on my account but I wasn’t satisfied with the poker client so I switched to a new poker room. I also tried to play NL10 6max and I found it more interesting so now I’m a NL10 6max player. I used to play NL25 for some month but I was only a BE player.
I have a family with two children and I also have a good job so I’m just a recreational poker player. I normally sit at 3 tables parallel and play 300-500 hands a day. I’m not a grinder obviously…
Currently…
I moved to PokerStars in November 2010. This is my graph since then:
Having a win-rate of 7.5bb/100 and a current BR of about $1.400 I could easily switch to NL25. But I think I couldn’t really. Why?
The problem
Well, I’m weak-tight. Look at my graph again:
As you can see I have a tragic red line. Some of my stats indicate that I fold too much and I don’t bluff enough. Overall I’m not aggressive enough:
The challenge
Shortly: I want to really crush NL10 before I move up in stakes. Once a week I go out with my friends to a pub called Leffe: we drink some beer and we play online. We sit at one table and play a very laggy style. We are often successful and we have a positive red line. Unbelievable.
From now on I’ll try to incorporate this experience into my normal play: I’ll try to fight for more pots:
- to play a bit looser,
- to fold a bit less,
- to bluff a bit more…
My goal is to have a better win-rate and consequently a flatter red line. I’m giving myself $200 (20 BI) to play: if I lost this amount I’ll consider this challenge to have been failed and I’ll return to my normal play.
This thread
I’ll use this thread
- to keep track of my progress,
- to post interesting hands and
- to discuss relevant strategies.
I hope it’ll be interesting…
