It will be tough to play 100z, I was trying to avoid that place because people station me too much and I tilt a lot vs that. There's no better way to tilt me than making spewy calls and own my bluffs lol.

But I'll do my best to control tilt and play well at 100z, wish me luck, guys.

Sorry to hear it mate, Mirage will try and bring you down but don't let him. You'll be back in no time

What a non surprise. Your br peak was 12k? if you listened to me u would have an extra 8k in your pocket right now. You have lived like a king in Brazil for a year with that. Next stop 50z. Maybe you should get on a stake like gazzy busto, and become a pretend baller.

Yeah, haha

but I learned a lot of stuff at 200z, specially that people are capable of bluffing, got really confident with overbetting too. Will focus on making sure Im beating 100z pretty well before moving again to 200z.

I think I will need to work more on the sdv part of my strat and equity denial, explo folds as well. Also my sizings were quite off, I would overplay some hands and not get the max value off them(exploitatively speaking).

maybe u should use 100 to fix ur leaks instead of trying to escape them

what about getting yourself a life ?

who could've ever seen this coming?????????????

Hang in there man. Youre clearly a solid player but its probably very unlikely youre beating 200z long term. I dont want to see this thread crash and burn, hopefully you dont tilt it all off. Take a little time off and reflect man.

Maybe even go back to 50z for a couple sessions and hop back in 100z when your mind is feeling clear and youre confident in your game. Good luck dude, rooting for you. You have to be disciplined though!

+1
It could be a good idea to move down to 50nl for a few sessions, at least untill your graph starts going up again.
When you'll move up to 100nl after that, it'll all of a sudden feel like high stakes.

I cant believe to get back to poker after 4 or 5 years and found you at 6max midstakes I remember flames in FR forum.. showing who is the boss
GL Rapid! I will follow you.
I am starting 6max now from NL2, so I hope we will meet again at same stake (midstakes I hope )
GLGL

Haha, quite funny to see that I somehow made it to 200z, people back in the day always said I was terrible and that I was likely a troll.

Gl, man, still a lot of money to be made at poker

I think you are thinking much differently than those people, and that is why you get to 200z

Thx man, I hope I can pick a little bit of them

btw about trolling.. I remember you UTG open is new blind steal thread )) So some of them made assumption about your abilities based on small sample size I guess

Yeah, I had a theory that utg open was just a new big blind that people decided which hands to play forom there, which is true, but it wasnt a good idea to 3-bet 42o vs that haha.

Had some theories about fluid dynamics and reynolds number applied into spr too, was trying to find at which SPR the fluid flow would change from laminar to turbulent to see when people were more likely to spazz

I almost forgot about that Yeah.. but then you went away from Poker for some time.. What happened?

op do you have a large winning sample in 50z

Back in the day?

It depends on what you consider a leak. Sure, I wasnt exploiting stations as well, would add bluffs in my range just for the sake of balance and not win enough. Ive ran super bad vs those stations too at 200z, and its vs them that flopping hands is the most important thing. I was always flopping good hands vs fold happy people rather than stations, so ran really bad there.

But yeah, will have to do my best to own these bad regs; I have some strats in mind, so lets see if I will be able to execute them well. As I said, my game was really tough vs good players that thought about ranges, about rivers I would have a hard time finding bluffs. Now vs someone that was thinking "lol, rapidesh is bluffing and I know it" is terrible.

I would make some -EV barrels/calls OTT so I could have bluffs that would overrealize on some rivers. Its a sick thing to do, but highly ineffective vs most of 100z and a good part of 200z. You may view it as a leak, but I think thats the right way to play poker. I think the last barrier for me to make it in poker is to learn how to own these bad regs.

3bbev for 220k hands at 50z, 0 bbev at 200z over 90k hands and 0 at 100z over 100k jands

Lost the love for the game

Same happened to me. I found it again about month ago

why did you move up to 200z if you weren't even winning at 100z?

Honestly thinking about exploiting and stuff is cool, but strong fundamentals are much more important.

agreed that good fundamentals should be your priority because although you play some hands fine, some other hands are outrageous punts and you can't keep doing this
