Initally bought for 10 buy in 20 euros aproximately.
I busted everything 30 min ago.
It taked Me aproximately 1 month and 4000 hands.
I'm a new player I learned this game rules aproxiately 2 months ago.

How can I cope with that? I'm unable to beat NL2.
To be honest I can't sit at a single table with at least a REC, only regulars players on my room(yes in NL2). If you take 5 random table only one of these table will have at least a fish.


How can I improve?
I think I need to work on some particular situations and correct my leaks. and my tilt control, because when I take one of the several less than 10% EQUITY from vilain shove(which happen a lot) i usually burn one or 2 buy-ins.

I need to be able to beat the tags, and lags, and identify their leaks How can I learn this, and find them? I can't exploit the fish because there are very few at least none.

How can i improve my reads postflop, exploit the vilain, and find the right fold at the right time in coolers situations on the turn and river?


I'm sorry if I look to be complaining, It's not the case.

Unfortunately you're right, there are absolutely no fish at 2nl. Best to move up to 50nl.

You have only been playing for 2 months, and you lost 10 buyins. That is nothing to be ashamed of. Anyone can lose 10 buyins. This is why you play at 2NL, so you don't lose too much money as you learn the game.

You shouldn't be worrying about exploiting fish because right now, you are the fish. Nothing wrong with that - it is just what happens when you are a beginner playing against more experienced players.

The way to improve is to read books, watch videos, etc. and also keep playing. Remember as much as you can about important hands - whether you win or lose - and think about any mistakes you might have made. Post hands on here, and get feedback.

Good luck to you.

Yes, This thread is pretty much over if you read, and take seriously, the comment #3 above.

I would most certainly not go to a higher stake 'to find more fish'.

Although it probably means no harm, you are in no position after 2 months and 4000 hands to label other Players as fish. But I will follow that up and say that if you've 'only' lost 10 BI in that time frame you are doing very well as a beginner. GL

2NL is full of fish. If you aren’t recognizing that then it’s probably because you haven’t developed the ability to recognize fish yet. One “fishy” characteristic that from what you posted seems like it might help — big bets ott and otr in micros are almost never bluffs. It is in fact a very fishy play to never have a bluff when shoving a river or turn, and it’s very easy to exploit that play — fold to such bets unless you have a monster hand. Being a fish means playing badly, but that doesn’t necessarily mean going all in with dumb hands (although some fish are prone to that).

The lags are dealt with GTO (e.g. Janda's Applications book's hand examples). You also learn proper preflop strategy, where you might look into Janda's second book, or to anywhere you want.

The nits are the most difficult, as there isn't a GTO vs. them. They don't make major bluffs often enough, so you don't call them as often as GTO suggests. Where you have a doubt (like on the river), they bet pretty much just for value. Don't expect the nits to play the correct strategy on any street.

You need to limit your bluffing in situations where the opponent is unlikely to fold; even nits can find it tough to fold good hands, and the rest of them call because they have a hand that might be the best, so know (with experience) when not to bluff or continue to bluff, and that's mostly a river issue.

The preflop and flop shouldn't be too difficult, the turn is half difficult as it isn't 100% nitting even from tight players as so many players in any form of poker tend to bet rather light on the turn with position when looking safe enough, so they get it to river with lead and position, and it isn't necessarily wrong, just a bit exploitable, but not easily. Pay attention to the bet-sizes.
