My heart goes out to you for this one. Such a cooler and the fact that it's HU makes it so much worse.

Good luck on this goal. I know that for me HU is the game I play when I tilt, which rarely (never) leads to good things. Maybe you're lucky that when you lose X amount of BI your head hurts and you can't play.

Ouch @ the last two hands you posted. :/

It's possible I got support wrong/confused the two things, but I'm pritty sure I didn't

The bad part this guy was so so bad.... I didn't posted hand where we get it in with on A82 i have A8 he has AQ and river is Q too

Don't want even see HEM now but i think i lost 1600$ to him

Anyway my head hurts and im going to sleep

Will have to rebuild what i lost in 400NL at 200NL HU...

have to post in this thread, to find it easier...
so i which you good luck.

and to bring a bit content to my post(if its ok to talk about the hands)

hand 1
why are you pushing river in hand 1, after you bet/bet/overbet? wouldnt he just call w every bluffcatcher(straight), and call with lower flushes(or raise them earlier?)

hand 2
taking the line like that, we can never fold the river right?
i ask myself if this is the best line in this spot...why do you check flop? or was he just a aggro spewtard when sensing weakness?

man that's like 4 BI's, it's not that big of a deal, you have to be immune to that if you want to ever get to 1Knl

Well he saw my overbet as a bluff previously....And In this spot many hands can raise me as value on the river which I beat.... I am beat here mostly with straight flush and A flush on the flop.

But here I just want the money to get in 99.9% of the time.

He was betting 80% of the time when I check to him and folding over 50% cbets....on the board this dry he will continue only with probably Ax for the gutshot and Kx... when he was limping I caught him limping hands like Ax off, also hands like Qx and Kx off (small card)

So here on the turn when there is a FD and he bets like this - i raise for value and expect him to reraise if he has me beat... On river obviously when he raises I think im beat and he will show up with KQ a lot since I doubt he would call such a raise with JT...

Also JTs with FD on turn would make sense also....

Feels good to rebuild next day what I lost yesterday on those huge hands on 400NL HU

great results so far, think you gonna make it
Also, are you the same Alex Galin from lithuania, that posted on uzdarbis?

Sick graph, consistency FTW!

Ty - Who knows maybe it's just a coincidence

awesome results man



keep it up !

I trapped him lol

are you a stars nl00 reg? then you must be repo86 or ayca27 or someone hmmm whoever u are i have probably played you

How is the traffic at 200nl/400nl compared to 100nl? At 100nl it's pretty ridiculously easy, I don't think a reg has ever sat me and you get action within 15 minutes most of the time. Also how many bi did you have for 200nl before taking shots? I'm at like 25ish for 1/2 and thinking about taking some shots.
gl

Traffic at 200 + 400NL HU together is like 3x less then on 100NL...

Regarding bankroll I have way too big bankroll even for 2000NL but still playing on 100-200-400NL now.

Anyway if you trying to make a living 25 buy ins is way too less... I mean if you are crushing 100NL its not hard to make 20-30 buy ins in no time... and then move up.

I think its good to move up when you have 50 buy ins.+

We both have very crazy image...he caught me numerous times bluffing...

He is floating so much - folding to cbet only 20% and then folding on turn 50%

3betting me 30% i 4bet him pretty a lot like 10-12%- thinking im gonna outplay him in pots.

Also he had betting tell... when he was bluffing he was making x9$ when he is betting...

So here is the funny hand

He was calling my 4bet pretty wide... so i think he would call here on flop with

JT J9 99 77 AT AJ TT all 8x 5x and so on... but on turn i pickup gutshot + overpair so I think the turn is good card to barrel again to fold out all these weak hands....


I jizzed in my pants when the river came

Is your advice for moving up strictly for HU due to its high variance? Or is it better to have 50 BIs in general before one considers about moving up?

I think I'll wait a bit to move up, but I'm not doing this for a living (yet, this is my ultimate goal but i want to finish school first and get to 2/4 + b4 I start thinking about that).

I think my biggest problem is that I've been moving up through the ranks pretty fast, and I'm starting to realize how little experience I have at poker compared to everybody else here. It took me 70k hands to move up from 2nl to 100nl while using semi aggressive but not unreasonable br management. Basically I'm afraid that I'll start getting crushed at 1/2 and 2/4.

Anyway, seeing this thread got me pumped up to put in some work. I think I'm going to try to get to 400nl minimum by december, and only move up after playing at least 30k hands at each level and have 50+ buy ins for the next level. Play everyday and stop being so lazy timeee to gogogo

well I think the higher you move up the more buy ins you need to have for that level...

Something like 20 BI 50NL

25-30 BI 100NL

30-40 BI 200NL

50+ 400NL

and so on.

Because the competition is much better at higher limits and the games is much more aggro...

Most of the fishes at < 100NL HU are passive ones...

and they are fishes because they stack too light, dont have aggresion and they playing hit or fold - and if they bet its mostly for value...

From the action I had on 400NL HU - fishy guys were pretty aggro... they 3betting like 35% raising my cbets a lot and other aggresive moves...


They are still fishes since they aren't balancing their ranges enough and bluffing too much - but it's much harder to take money from them...and the variance will be higher...

Also they pick bluffing spots a little bit better and bluffs isn't so transparent like at 100NL... where their lines doesn't make sense at all

Sounds like you got a good thing going for you here mate, keep up the good work and Im sure you will make it
