2013 Supernova and move up from NL25 - Poker Goals & Challenges -- Two Plus Two Poker Forums

i3budlight · 01-17-2013, 01:07 PM

Hi 2+2, I'm a 23 year old guy from Bavaria (thats near Germany).

I play Poker like for 4 years now, the first two of them I really was a big fish who was just donking around without any plan.
In 2011 I achieved Supernova by Masstabling NL50/NL100 Fullring. I was a slightly winner/breakeven player and made most of the money with RB obv. 2012 I nearly played no poker at all and concentrated on real life issues but I still love the game so I decided to give it a try again

I play 6max nl25 $/€/GBP on Pokerstars. I won't move up before I have at least 30 BI's for the next level and did well over 100k hands on the level below.

My goals for 2013 are:

1) 5h of pokertheory per week

2) 10k VPP per month

3) be a winner at nl25, nl50 and nl100

4) have a score >1k$ in any MTT

5) update this thread as often as possible (also when I run bad

)

this is my graph for nl25 so far:

Bankroll: 897$
VPP: 6.417

this one was vs 36/2 fish, i think my riverplay is terrible. FD busts and he bets the river 65% of the time (11 of 17 times) so i think checking would have been much better

AwesomeClown · 01-20-2013, 08:06 AM

Aah ok ^^
I'm also playing 25NL looking to move up, only at FR. Why do you prefer 6max over fr? If I may ask.?

i3budlight · 01-20-2013, 09:58 AM

I played FR for a long time, too. I think I can achieve a better winrate at 6max compared to FR.
At FR I had stats like 14/11 while at 6max i have 21/17, what means u get involved more often and have to play more postflop also with marginal hands. Its just not that nitty as Fullring is...Also i think there's more fish in general

Right now I'm really happy i switched from FR to 6max and i guess i'll never play FR again.

Hi, i marked some hands today that i wanted to post:

1) Villain was 39/20/2 (49 hands), seems to be a fish. What's the best Riverplay here?
I think his range is mainly draws and some pairs as i would expect him to raise the turn with trips. check/call if he bets small? check/fold if he bets huge? b/f to make him fold his draws?

! I mainly play the regular 6max tables, but i've also played a few thousand hands on zoom, too

i3budlight · 01-27-2013, 01:50 PM

I forgot to say, that i changed/updated my HUD today.
I have way more stats shown at the tables now. I'm sure that was +EV

Rogbey · 01-27-2013, 03:21 PM

How many tables do you play? I am palying 25nl looking to make Supernova also but can only play 4 Zoom tables at a time. I was thinking of adding on like 2 more regular tables of 25nl or 2 50nl tables of Zoom as I have now 30 bis for 50nl.

i3budlight · 01-27-2013, 04:25 PM

I'm playing between 8 - 10 regular tables on two monitors. sometimes i mix regular tables with zoom, but then i play less tables obv.
