I deposited $50 on stars a few months ago and started grinding at 2NL. Moved up to 25NL the other day and my first 2500 hands have been a horror show. I've watched a ton of Deucescracked videos, have a subscription to Stox and i've read a ton of strategy articles. I dont know why i bother though. I feel like withdrawing my BR and giving up.
I'm not saying i've played every hand perfectly (some where a downright mess) but i'm trying my hardest, feel as though i'm a better player than i was at 2, 5 and 10NL and i've been studying hard. I dont know what else i can do. I honestly cant remember how many sets my opponents have flopped against me (a rough guess would be 8) that have stacked me or almost stacked me. I just dont know how to combat that.
