Besides jumping in to limit hold em' over my head 2NL has been pretty good. I've got the pre-flop charts to help me now and my VPIP has improved. I'm still not getting value in some spots where I should be value betting.
I think I'm going to play four tables tomorrow with the charts and see how it goes. Shouldn't be too big of an issue. I've noticed I'm betting with like 65s now where I would usually be folding it because I'm too nitty.
As soon as I hit $500 bankroll I'm going to take some shots at 5NL. There are less tables than 2NL and there seems to be a lot more 10NL tables. The filter doesn't allow for .02/.05 it's .02/.04 so they don't show up and ACR needs to fix this but I doubt they will. I think this makes for less tables too.
I keep saying the "charts" the "charts" but I'm really excited to be using them because I've been confused in some spots. I need to work on three betting more even if I don't have a monster hand. Stuff like KJs or KQs could definitely be three bets especially in position.
Looking forward to playing more 2NL and moving up soon. It's only been two weeks but I feel like I've improved a little so that's good.
Glad to hear the charts are improving your game! Forgot to mention that you need to open a bit tighter than them because of the high rake in the micros so just remove the bottom of the ranges while opening
Also the charts say for example open 66-22 in low frequencies utg, just fold 55-22 and open 66 100% imo
My grandma is in the hospital. I woke up and heard a loud thud and found her lying on the ground breathing funny. I called 911 right away and she wasn't responsive for about 5-10 minutes. Going to the hospital now. Won't be playing poker for a while.
Fk man. Very sorry to hear this. I know it doesn't mean much or can change anything but my thoughts and prayers are with you and your loved ones. I hope she's ok.
Actually I'm going to stick to 2NL for a while until I can prove I can beat it. Just checked my graph and in 19k hands I'm down $3.85 for the year. Was up $13 over 15k hands but lost in 4k hands I guess.
Nice moving up but hope you really stay away from limit from now on else you can change this thread into a yolo gambling thread and noone cares about that

I've pretty much decided I'm going to be careful with my roll from now on. 5NL isn't so bad. I'm also going to be playing 2NL as well since there aren't very many 5NL tables.
Found $5 in my global poker account. played some 10NL and doubled up to $11. Going to use that $11 to play 25c SNGs when I don't feel like grinding cash.
Search Nick Eastwood, Weazel_1991 and BluffTheSpot they have really good videos of playing micros/hand reviews etc, just look for 10nl and under videos preferably the most recent ones
