Yeah.. I started playing poker back at the end of February. I was really really bad. I lost 24 BI's at 2NL to start things off- and things didn't improve for quite awhile. I gave you guys some truly insipid bad posts that I'm sure caused a few of you to develop looks on your faces usually associated with glue factories and paper mills.

I moved up to 25NL tonight. Something clicked a month ago and suddenly I started CRUSHING 5NL. I kept crushing 10NL. Despite a serious downswing at 10NL I still managed to crush it over a 30k hand sample.

Tonight I crushed 25NL for 3 BI's in 1200 hands. I ran good. I also played good- and for that I pretty much credit all of you.

Thanks,

Matt

So true. Unfortunately that "something clicked" feeling is usually just variance at play.

"something clicked" for me as well and I was able to crush 5NL... had to move back down 3 times when I tried to move up to 10NL, but now i'm in the thick of it there and well on my way to 25NL...
10NL has been an adjustment, but I don't think I could have made it if not for 2+2

The thing that clicked for me was range based thinking. In the middle of a hand I'm actually putting all the hand combinations my opponent is likely to hold into my thought process- and I'm frequently right.

This leads to me doing things that get my opponents to do things that are profitable for me. Doing that inside a TAG framework is simply insane. I recently had a 10 BI downswing at 10NL where I ran 2/17 on flips.... So honestly I can see the +EV even on my way down. And that's really really reassuring.
