What is it that makes NL50z so difficult?

i don't know. but is a small sample, can't take conclusions. But maybe a more confortable bankroll will help.
people are more agressive, I need to stop thinking "this guys are always bluffing me, they can't have it all the time" wich leads to some bad calls. and I wasn't play my best game or runnning hot :P

They can't have "the nuts" all the time, but they can have TP-any-kicker a lot of the time, especially if they get dealt good vs you pre + OTF/OTT

Yeah, sounds fine, gl figuring it out and you'll be making a bank once you figure it out on how to adjust to them perfectly and play the current meta w/ confidence!

Rake is insane, a lot of regs are competent and there arent as many people punting off stacks to justify the rake. On 25z and 16z it seems that if you just valueown people you will do fine because of how many calling mistakes people are doing. On 50z you have to overbluff pretty hard vs some people, specially OTT and learn how to fold a lot. You need to get value off people and dont pay them off.

If regs at 50z start bluffing at an optimal frequency, then the stake will be close to unbeatable during weekdays because of how high the rake is. A lot of the time I was playing 50z I wad folding and thinking "I have to fold this AND villain has to be underbluffing, otherwise I cant beat this game". Learn how to fold even flushes/FHs, even vs minraises, thats the most important skill in beating 50z.

A lot of people will say 50z is a joke, but 8bb/100 in rake is no joke. Its very hard to beat a game for that many bbs just to breakeven, you need to be owning people pretty hard. People also underestimate a lot of regs at 50z too, tbh there are a lot of regfish that play 200z that play worse than the best regs at 50z, they just dont have the bankroll to play higher and are stuck in that raketrap.

Last week resume:
at the end, I think it was a positive week, had a terrible first monday session, I was running super bad but I was able to make a solid comeback, so after rakeback had a winning week
Still making lot of mistakes, still making terrible calls. doesn't matter if I fold a hand 15 times in a row, I still have to fold the 16 time or learn to fold. My mindset is still bad


month results:
poor volume..
