Hello everyone...

So I will briefly tell my poker story and how I came about to post here maybe some of you will have tips for me. So I started playing poker half a year ago (But I played pretty much every day for 2 months). At first of course I lost my first deposit quickly because I was not ready for online poker at that time. I started to look at hand reviews and poker, guides. Started to lose a little less. Then I lost like two more deposits but in a way longer time then the first one. Then I really started to grind. I was either playing watching hand reviews or streams like all day for two weeks straight did nothing else with all my free time pretty much. I finally started winning like heavy for the first time for like 4 days in a row (3x my bankroll, then went down a little (like you do with bad beats and all) and then 5x it), after watching a lot o Doug Polks previous bankroll challenge and just his general poker older streams, they helped me out a lot I believe. After this I started to feel really confident in my ability. So I moved up in stakes, lost like half my bankroll was like "ok I tried to let's go back down grind up and try it again". Grinded back to the same bankroll pretty much tried it again did ok, did not lose to much went around even. So next session I go back to higher stakes again lose a lot again. Grind up again, go up, lose 90% of my bankroll, lose all my deposit. Deposit again lose it in the lower stakes again. Then i decided to buy the Upswing postflop guide, it was alright i would say, I pretty much played that way from Doug Polks streams anyway (meaning I played like the guide suggests). Deposit again, same thing (go broke). Deposit again same thing (lose). I just can't help but lose now. I believe i did improve alot i can see it myself, but I can't get back to winning ways again I just don't get it. I don't believe I ran hot because i wouldn't have gone up like three times again again. So this is where I am at I can't keep on losing in this game like this. (Currently slowly losing my current bankroll little by little)


P.S Sorry if my english is bad, english is only my third language

English seems OK, but use some paragraphs in future

What analysis of your play have you actually, from reading that it seems like deposit, go busto, lather rinse repeat without trying to work out your leaks and fix them

I mean I am really new to this, forum stuff and all. What kind of statistics of analysis you might need to help me out? I don't really know how to find out what leaks I have my guy.

I dunno man, maybe just keep watching doug polk streams and redepositing you'll get there eventually

Go to an appropriate strat forum here and read through some of the threads. If you find yourself thinking the same way, then you can pick up places to work on.

Depending on your site, you can look through your own hand history to see if you're putting your money in good most of the time.

Are you constantly surprised at your opponent's cards? Are they calling you down lighter than you expect?

Moving up in stakes makes the game 4x or more harder. Are you relying on folds at lower stakes that get called at higher stakes?

Do you shut down when a c-bet gets called ... and then bail when bet into on Turn or River?

Are you constantly raising/playing out of position? This wont fly at higher stakes. GL

Thank you answer20 I will do as you said. I really believe your advice will help me. Thank you again and have a good day!

Read about bankroll management my dude, play a bit lower at first until you trully understand what you're doing and then take shots at higher stakes.
I'd say play more tighter than DP cause obviously he knows exactly what he's doing in most spots.

Take in mind it's been just 6 months in so far, keep trying and improving.

Cheers!

Actually do some WORK that will lead to profit.
Seems like your trying to get rich quick. You lack sense if your doing this.

The best vid I've seen on Bankroll management is by Dan Negreaneau in his masterclass. I haven't been able got get it click until I've seen the following:

I am so mad I just can't hold myself at this point the tilt is unreal the stuff i posted back then is still happening to me I 10xed my bankroll gone back to 2xed and 10ex it again and went back three times now i and did not go up in stakes I really don't understand how it is happening to me it's like a curse or something. I really don't get it I hope somone will take me seriously because I really need help any stats you want me to tell you or anything at all I will just please help me out here.

Skip to 3:40 to see DNeg's tilt buster tableside meditation: https://youtu.be/QTMhuD0XEcY

what game do you play?
What stakes do you beat, what stakes are you trying to move into?
how many hands you played so far?
what is 10xed your bankroll??

Just a quick note: If you beat NL25 (0.10-0.25c blinds) turning 100$ into 1000$ is super easy (you might bust 100$ in 5 minutes, but lets assume that didn't happen). The skill difference at NL50 is quite intense so losing 800$ or 16 stacks will happen quite quick and you don't even need bad luck for it especially if you are only a small winner at NL25.

if you turned 10$ into 100$ at NL5 and then lost 8 stacks or 80$ at NL10 you are facing normal daily variance.

If swings like these make you go on tilt I would consider an alternative hobby like yoga or something a like.

So you play small stakes and carry zero debt? You’ll be fine. You’re not even close to stuck. It gets worse, much worse. It’s just a game.

just play play money mtts and live mtts every now and then. show every hand you play.

profit. $$$$

1. I play cash games mostly used to play sng a lot (didin't find much success went pretty much even) but turned to cash because my bankroll grew quicker.

2. So I think I can beat the micros 0.01/0.02$ 6-max, I have moved into 0.02/0.05$ to build the bankroll quicker (9-max tho for the higher ones). I beat 00.2/0.05$ zoom consistently (some say zoom is a lot harder I don't know that per say but you might know how it really is so that might tell something about my skill) when I had a bigger bankroll then i stupidly tried to move into the higher ones my bankroll was not ready for them at all lost a lot of money went back but struggled since then very heavily maybe I've had a couple of lucky runs or something and I am trash I don't even know at this point.

3. The exact number? Somewhere beetween like >100,000 on pokerstars. That's not counting live games and all other random poker
video games I've played in my life.

4. Maybe I typed it wrong or something. What I mean by 10ex if you had 2$ you would make it into 20 ( 2x10 is 20)

P.S

I really want to make this poker thing work it would be so good to make some money on the side like this in my later life. I just need some help and I hope you or somone else helps me out..

Elaborate. What do you mean by much worse mister?

How do I show the hands :P?

I've seen that before but still thanks for that buddy.

I might need to get a coach which would be great I think but I most definitely don't have the money for that so honestly that's out of the question so I hope for more comments from you all and I hope they help me I guess and I guess be my coaches.

You might be better served making a home in either of these 2+2 areas:

Micro full ring cash forum

Micro 6Max cash forum

Well I would do that but I would lose interest from all the people that are trying to help me if I made a new topic.

I still hope somone is here for soe tips or things to help me out. Would really appreciate the help

Quit gambling and start studying.

What do you mean by that?

No. What I would think is best for you is to go to those two forum areas and read, read and read some more. After you have read every thread on the FIRST page...consider the second page. Do all this reading BEFORE you post in someone else's thread and WELL before you start your own post in those areas.

You have posted in the Beginners section asking for advice. All that has been posted so far is good. but why not go to a specific section of 2+2 that will be entirely about the games you want to play?

Do you own any tracking programs like Holdem Manager? A tracker records all of the hands you play.....so you should be able to tell us exactly how many hands you have played. If you do not want to use a tracker, you are going to be fighting an uphill battle to improve.

edit for another question. When you play online, how many tables do you play at one time?
