used to play 5nl graduated to 10nl but after a few shots dropped back to 5nl and stuck.

I don't get it. I've taken loads of advice from this thread and the micro nl-pl forums and applying it to my game but still losing at 5nl. anyone at ssnl used to experience this?

when i started playing cash (at 25nl) i basically watched a load of vids from DC (mainly from baluga because i thought he was the best at teaching stuff) posted hands in uNL
had a heater at 25nl, moved upto 50nl. stupidly tried to 9 table it straight away, moved back down, then recovered losses at 25nl, moved back up and stayed.
got talking to better players about hh and stuff
then got fortunate enough to get staked and not looked back since

When you do, please just play as you see optimal for 25NL.

So often I see people request 'to get into a lot of spots' which makes the video maker 3bet ******ed hands or raise dumb hands and too loosely, ending up situations we micro-noobs should'nt find ourselves in to begin with

peace

It's called invisible leaks..cant fix what u cant c..

yeh i thought this is incredibly ******ed when video makers do this. Dont understand why, usually they dont even have enough time to explain the actual spot they got themselves.

lol villain prob calculated his hero call equity, ty Q6 for creating that concept.

Can a few people here tell me how much rake you pay at 50NL Zoom in bb/100 (for 2013, I don't know if it changed) and what your sample size is.

I'm asking for a friend. I know it depends on how you play, but if a few people could answer that'd be great

alright thanks guys. I'll drop back to 2nl with 60BI and try and beat it, before I move back up to 5nl again. gonna spam the micro nl forum with loads of hands.

Dill, I'm never on skype but if u wanna pm me hh's or questions that's fine. If u wanna pm me I'll give u my email address aswell as I'm never too far away from that, and if i can help i will

If u can afford it, get a DC sub. I've been watching vids for a month now and it really does open ur mind

Edit: same goes for anyone if they want. I'm no genius but will help where i can

thanks Dunna, prob fine for now. Sure I'll try and get some DC vids (or CR, whichever is better) after exams and stuff

yay 1000th post

Ha at the start of the video I literally said 'I'm going to play as if I was a meh 25nl reg, EG i'm not going to open wider bvb because I think I can outplay them postflop etc'
So annoyed it f'ed up though, it is effort to make another one.

dill, pm me your skype name and I'll try aand get some time with you mate. Its probably something daft/easy fixed.

Q6 what cam sofware did you use? Camstudio is the best (I htink)

Yeah I used camstudio/

All about camtasia.

really not sure about the turn as villains range will usually not include FD as they probably just call

He'd probably raise 2pair+ on the flop

Maybe Ax FD but then again not sure

Probably hit an A like AQ or AK

AJ and AT is a bit more unlikely as I have JT

I considered shipping the turn but what worse will call if I 3b turn hmmm

played fine

Some hands from my last sesh.

Hand 1: Russian fish. Surprised at what he turned up with.



Just obvious when he is short stacked, x/c twice pre, he isnt any good so will make stupid moves hence call the flop shove.


Hand 2: Another, different russian fish.



From one extreme to the other, min 3bets me then shoves - clearly hasnt got a hand = call.

hand 3. Poor guy must have been creaming himself when the turn hit.



hand 4: too nitty or just obvious he holds a J?



I find that mostly, when people shove for 2 or more x pot, with 4 str or flush ont he board, its OK to fold.

Pretty decent sesh. Was down 5 BI at one point, clawed it all back. Glad that despite taking a lot of beats earlier on fh over fh set over set etc, I didnt lose my head, just carried on grinding away steadily and the rewards came.

does hem1 work with rush?

^


yes

do i need to configure anything to get it to work like i had to do for zoom?

Best reg i've played with is WizardofOdds.



J_nufc_v x

I think just getting the 12.10 version will suffice

but you can't use one version for rush and zoom afaik

also they have a thread about rush poker @ hem forums so you might want to check there for your problems if you encounter any

Some pretty sick hands last session;














Any thoughts to maximize value on the 2nd hand? I figured if I overbet it could look pretty bluffy, inducing a call.

You guessed it st8 flush #4 this year.
