mindset problems, after -10bi in nl10 donk off roll in nl200 and repeat in 5z like 7 times this year. working on fixing this huge leak... and funny is I not even once won while shot taking whole br... last time -250€ nl200 HU and once before that in october 650$ pot in nl500z QQ < AK pre ai. and i've done it like 50 times in my lifetime busted 300-1k rolls and only 3 times i've managed to win when playing for rolls once went from 60 to 3.5k in 1hrs... and biggest loss is 2.7k pot Khigh vs Ahigh flush non paired board 3 flush cards at nl1k vs some korean women pokerstars pro... lol

stick to one limit!

Yeah, well I was younger and dumber and didnt really matter if I win or lose but now im in only for the profits so fixing as many leaks as I can and really work hard on my game and currently I'm doing fine, let's see how it goes next 2-3 months.

Gl with your 25z grind.

anyways my confidence has taken a hit, although ive been leaking alot when playing 25z and 50z, so i thought id play some 10nl to regain my sanity...



10NL ZOOM
Profit: $94.97
10,142 hands @ 9.36 bb/100



ive previously played 10nl at 10bb for 30k so i guess i can easily run over 10nl, *but* players are absolutely horrible (worse than me) which is pretty bad...ive kinda fixed my leaks a bit, meanwhile still leaking massively from redline, afaik a b/e redline would be optimal at 10z which apparently im not capable of


achievable w/r would be roughly 15bb perhaps? i played a few hands (and just in general) quite poorly, now if i could just fix NSD pots and run over 50z

10-50k hands is lol_sample imo. GL though!

Overall graph since start of thread?

my graph is way to horrible for me to even want to look at again lol, the last time ive played 25 and 50 i did ok but i guess ive fallen behind the curve and am not good enough to beat 50 anymore, but perhaps i can take down 25

anyways ive officially failed this challenge, ill give 50 another shot in the near future.....


numbers dont lie, so im not as good as i thought i was at poker....coming off massive confidence and now i feel like ive been kicked in the face while laying helplessly on the ground

You say 50z every one is nit and never pays you off so maybe start playing hands like you have the nuts more often then just when you have the nuts?

Also stop folding and red line stops going down.

ive tried playing looser and more agro but overall i just tend to spew (i suck)

my new goals for 2016 (jan/feb) are to crush 25z for 200k hands and qualify for an LAPT, with lots of work i believe i can achieve these goals... i have 2 months to achieve this or go run across a highway naked wearing a blindfold

ill update this as i go along...currently taking time off, happy new years

back to playing poker again after a break..its nice to be fresh and i have been very stressed about failing my goal of 1k, it seems to be a big trend on 2+2 for goals to fail and watch hundreds of poker dreams die

.ive been playing around with stats and have been trying to alter my play style a bit (extremely tilted about my redline) so i tried some 2z and 5z to troll around with opening ranges etc..



*this is 2zoom*








*this is 5zoom*





and behold the holy 10nl







being a dumbass at microstakes im extremely horrible in general at poker so ill have to keep plugging away...i have the roll to troll 50nl but i do not have the confidence ?ability? to keep playing at 50 (esp 100n) and feel i should be at 10nl until i feel like i have a lock on playing optimal at 10nl zoom...

offically degraded to a worthless micro donkey

changing my playstyle a bit to adjust redline, now am losing aswell as taking ******ed beats that just make me facepalm...

going for 20k hands in the next 3 days @ 10n, want to run over 10nl before i go back to 25 & 50, historically a 10bb winner for 40k hands

post some hands.

in the past ive been playing much more passive and have been taking c/c c/f lines, recently ive been trying to more aggressive, but im not exactly sure if this is just being a donk











this hand could be a call pf and c/f flop but i take this line so frequently it tilts me so much that i play passively so i may be over adjusting which is just making me play like a donk, im extremely unbalanced

r u kiddin right? anything under 100k hands is meaningless. IMO a decent sample size could be 250k+, good 500k-1M.


good luck man

that would take months to play i dont want to spend to much time at 10z, id just like to be confident again that i can take the games down, for higherstakes such as 100 or 200 i could see myself grinding out 200k+ but for now id like to keep my samples small, @ 25 or 50 id like 100k at the very least as im not to sure im +ev there


got in a nice session...next update perhaps 20k or more possibly, see how i feel im very unbalanced atm





gl to all

the almighty redline, i have two separate samples at almost 10k each in which i alter my playing style in hopes of making a breakeven redline,

sample 1: 10NL 6m zoom



winning at 8bb and losing at -16bb/100 for redline

(also i generally lose around 20bb/100 for my redline at 50n and 100n) which is an extremely massive leak because i am constantly being pushed around

mostly playing fit or foldish type strategy here



now sample 2: 10NL 6m zoom



playing alot more agressive here, but not doing aswell, trying to find the balance to play the best but am not to sure on how to go about it, been altering my opening and calling ranges.

after trolling through redbarons thread ive learned he plays a standard 23/19 game while other players (thinking sirdonald) goes around at 32/22 with almost 11% 3b. (which ive been told is to loose for 50nl according to a 200zoom player) so figuring out optimal ranges to play is difficult, i think at micros we can get away with being looser and aggressive, although my 2nd graph says otherwise

trying to put the peices of the puzzle together


100 zoom: again leaking so much from redline at -20bb






atleast i can say im a lifetime winner at 500z (hi timex)








feelings,

sorta confused why are you playing 100nlz? I thought you were trying to beat 50nlz?

was just an old sample that i was looking through, i have about 12k hands or so at 100z, and did not have the ability to beat the games + 50n (30kish), my nonshowdown pots have been a massive problem with my game so now im trying to fix that at 10z for a short sample and then when i feel more comfortable ill do some work at 25z and skip to 50n
