Beating NL2z for over 20bb/100 without a HUD
01-21-2018
, 07:18 AM
Hi,
I never played any serious NL stakes because PLO always felt a lot more fun and easier to beat. My highest regular stakes was PLO100. One day I decided to withdraw and stop playing because it was taking way too much of my time (I have a regular job) and was tilting AF (which is why I love and hate this game at the same time).
Recently I deposited some $ and started to spaz a little bit at NL2 in my spare time. I decided to start this challenge out of boredom and to check how soft NL2 really is these days. The goal is to have a winrate of 20bb/100 or more after 100k hands of four-tabling NL2z.
I don't use a HUD because the only one I have is FPDB, which doesn't work with zoom so I use it only to collect results. I also don't make any notes or tag opponents, so it's all about exploiting the population and not tilting too much after my triple barrel bluff gets called by a guy who turns out to not be able to fold any kind of pair
I hope to post a graph and stats as well as some fun 'only at NL2z' hands every once in a while.
Here is my graph and stats after first 20k hands:
Current winrate is 18.72bb/100 so I need to improve a little bit, but I think I know where to start.
Sometimes they just don't believe you have it:
