2NL to 2000NL - Page 30 - Poker Blogs and Goals -- Two Plus Two Poker Forums

Everyone says online poker is dead. Everyone says it.

You know. Maybe they are right. Maybe it is dead. You know why?

Because back in 2002 - you got a MILLION players playing like villain below.

I was one of those players. You know that? I was the fish everyone was looking to catch on their hook. But guess what? Now the fish are now slightly competant... lol

Had a decent sample on this villain who is a nit-fish, I knew he couldn't fold because his 3bet range was 0.5% - It was either AA or KK. With his 3bet, his hand was face up.

I had to shove to make it look like I'm doing it with QQ or AK, (typical fish move).

If I had have 4bet him normally, then he 5bet me... my 6bet range is far too thin and he could maybe find a fold with KK. I didn't want to play tricky and call a 5bet and then shove on this cbet... so insta shove 4bet was the play. Just call me Daniel Nigonenu from now on.

Perfectly played. Only the best can get it in pre with AA when against KK

Think the last hand was thin... I figured, if I call the raise on the flop and see what he does on the turn.. he insta jammed and I just think that a strong hand wouldn't insta jam here. I also thought his flop raise sizing was more or less, "please fold - I have nothing" - If he had have min raised flop and then half potted turn - that would have been more believeable and I might have folded that... villain was unknown.

Don't get carried away with this line of thinking. It's fine selectively but it's a lot better to theoretically solid foundation that most of your decisions stem from. I think T8s on the button is a bit loose facing a CO. T9s would be fine and t8s should be a 3bet.

Also, I'm seeing a lot of complaining about running bad when these are some terribly played hands. You've been playing for 3 years dude what are you doing. What is that AK overbet flop? What is this QJs x/xr?????? WHAT AM I LOOKING AT?!!?!??!?!

Just a small 750 hand session:

It's easy to win when Stars gives you monster winning hands every 10 hands.

Hopefully the 101bb/100 will continue... Obviously Stars has boom switched me because I haven't played in so long.

Hey man! I don't know about being "back for ever".. I don't really play much anymore due you know, not winning... the dream is still there to move up the levels.. but I don't know if I can do it. I think I will always try.

I have changed my game a little - my starting hand selection is nittier and I fold A LOT of rivers.

My strategy is just to try to break even, and then somewhere down the line someone ends up giving me a buy in:

The Zzoop dude is back and finally winning over 70k sample. GOGOGOGOGO

The dream is real. And the dream continues.

That 1c may look like 1c to you, but to me, that 1c represents the transition of a caterpillar to the beautiful butterfly you now see before you.

I have worked on my discipline, my game, my hand selection, my positional play, and it's finally all coming together.

My DB of hands:

Still negative winnings due to an early unsuccessful 5NL shot.

Anyways... Time to crush.

This is the first time that I've stumbled across this thread.

As I understand, you've started a "2NL to 2000NL" challenge in 2013 and now, more than 5 years later you're still at 2nl. Damn man, feel bad for you.
