Micro Challenge -  5NL to 50NL Micro Challenge -  5NL to 50NL

Hello everyone,

You can call me Tim, and I have 20 yrs old, just a Brazilian guy.

I play poker for 2 years, but more I play, more I can see how insane this game is.
I'm a engineering student in the third year.

Due to my time schedules, I don't have much time for poker. I mainly play at night, 3 to 4 hours per day.

I had a lot of problems with BRM, like giving some shots at 100NL, 50NL HU and so on... But, my biggest problem is deal with downswings. When it happens, I start to change drastically my game and what happens..? Everyone knows

But, let's go to the interesting part.

Today's BR: $275
I'll reach at least $500 (50 BI) for the next level

I'm looking for good materials besides hand reviewing and discussions.
Nowadays I'm viewing IntelliPoker's lessons.
Currently 21/16 (only over 20k hands) trying to master the TAG style.

I'll keep updating with insteresting hands and graphs.
Thank you for the attention

I intend to give some shots at 10NL when I get $400, something like 3 or 4 BI's for the shot.
_______

I did a short session now (almost 1k hands)
Found great spots, although I did a stupid fishy call that costed me 2 stacks:

Poker Stars $0.02/$0.05 No Limit Hold'em - 6 players
DeucesCracked Poker Videos Hand History Converter

BTN: $1.71
SB: $6.63
BB: $6.03
UTG: $9.83
Hero (MP): $13.49
CO: $4.30

Pre Flop: ($0.07) Hero is MP with K K
UTG raises to $0.10, Hero raises to $0.40, 4 folds, UTG calls $0.30

Flop: ($0.87) 4 5 K (2 players)
UTG checks, Hero checks

Turn: ($0.87) Q (2 players)
UTG checks, Hero bets $0.52, UTG calls $0.52

River: ($1.91) 8 (2 players)
UTG checks, Hero bets $1.10, UTG raises to $8.91 all in, Hero calls $7.81

Final Pot: $19.73
UTG shows A T (a flush, Ace high)
Hero shows K K (three of a kind, Kings)
UTG wins $18.91
(Rake: $0.82)

Yes, yes, it was a stupid call
Poor plays like this tilt me a lot, then I decided to stop.

Bad session by now. (over 2,2k hands)
I was 4 tabling and watching a movie at the same time
Can you guess what happened?
4 BI down

I had 2 coolers:
- set over set
- KK < AA pf

The other 2 BI's:
- I didn't need to get involved in 2 silly hands.

We can't go back but we can learn from our own mistakes.
Let's go!


By now I'm back to $276 and 3K fpp points
I don't know what to do with them. Should I play satellites and trade the T$ for $?

Finished my last session today (about 2,3k hands):



Started to being passive and entered in auto pilot by the end of session. This is a leak that I need to control. Missed some good spots but didn't make big mistakes.

Today the game didn't was unfair at all.
I could have some extra bucks today if I didn't was too curious.

Bet the flop everytime. I can think of zero reason I would EVER check back on the flop.

And good for you at realizing you needed to quit

Da faq OP? If you have a problem with downswings why are you watching a movie as you play... Just saying your gna piss money away if you don't commit your poker time to just poker IMO...

Yes, I know.
It was dumb.

BTW I'll play a session by now and I'm going for 2 tabling instead 4 tabling.
I want to be more focused and be calm to take the rights decisions.

I made 3 short sessions today.

The first session was bad, I got tilted and it costed me 2 BIs
The second one was ok, didn't make any big mistake
And the third one was a little special, had some spots like:
- AA < AKo pf all in
- AKo < QQ (it's ok) pf allin
- A stupid hero call on a overbet river (that was my biggest bad in the session)

third session graph:
Dat red line doe... What is your cbet %... Based on that red line I'm thinking it's close to 100? Might be an easy leak for you to plug if that's the case

My cbet it's not close to 100. It's 54%...

I didn't have much time to post something here.
But my goal is going well.

This weekend was very profitable.
And also I used all my FPP's (almost 3,5K) in those $11 satelites and I got $44 !!

BANKROLL: $375.64
