NL10: A Winning Session!

I LOL'd : (read chat)
+ Show Spoiler +

One EPIC SOULREAD:
+ Show Spoiler +

Results:

Look at my number of sessions. Some serious table selecting was happening ;o

I only raise Broadway+Pairs+throw in some SC CO and Button.

I have limped as much as never in my life with AXs kind of hands, and with low sc too-no point in raising, high card value is what NL10 is all about, and people pay me off in limped pots (this is the first time since FR where I limp drawing hands, as NL5 is 200bb)

Non-SD: My Naivety cost me a couple BI. There really is no point in going beyond C/Bet without at least 8 outs


Winnings:



This limit is interesting, I have never really played it and at least I know what I missed- TPTK ship it ;o

And as I play for happy meal money again, I also had a lot of fun experimenting with gay lines (you know, minraising minbets and minraises, cc/cc/c shove lines etc.)


I might actually hang around NL10 for some time, until I have at least 80% of my session winning ones again.
The Doomswitch had punched big holes in my confidence and I couldn't avoid being results oriented (which I never was before) after another session's hard work was wiped out by suckouts/coolers.




BR Now: $760

Wish me luck ;o

why are you playing nl10 with 30 buyins for nl25?

Because I was losing heavily in last 30 sessions and was in black in 2. Down 30BI, I kept losing at NL10 because of never ending suckouts.

I play badly, I am results oriented, and there was no point in staying at NL25 in my present state of mind as I would lose more and more.

I think my BR was at stake, And I need a serious winning stretch to start playing anything near my A game...

How many tables are you playing ?

I've done the same and I can tell it works . I started the year at 2NL, went up to 5NL quickly and 10NL after that. In March I was playing 25NL and doing pretty well, but half March I started a long losing/break even stretch, which was really frustrating. About 40k hands had I been losing after that and I decided to restart at 10NL at the beginning of May. I cashed out $500 and moved back to 10NL with a bankroll of around 550ish dollar to grind up again. I got myself a DeucesCracked subscription (the $30 a month is just over a buyin at 25NL anyway, so it wouldnt hurt) and started working my bankroll back to $750 and my confidence (and game) back to a better level. Another thing that has really surprised me is my difference in redline compared to before. When playing with less confidence and away from your A-game, it really hurts your redline. When I was doing good at 10NL my redline would make me money. At 25NL it was about break even when I was doing ok, but when my break-even/downswing started, it really went downhill. Now I've regained my confidence and started again from a lower stake and my redline is well above break-even and making me money again =).


Now I'm at 25NL again and playing much better and I'm really glad I moved down. Moving down is a really good way to regain confidence and start working towards your A-game again. Plus that it's much more fun to be winning big at a lower stake than break even or winning a few bb/100 on the higher stake. It's one step back to move 2 steps forward after that. Good luck, I hope you can regain your game as well .

Hands - 4,282

9 Tables /6hours with table selecting.

So PT3/HEM counts 1 table as a session? Weird.

(I dont have PT3/HEM, i use mac software)

shoving on a nut flush draw IS NOT A SOUL READ

The red line observation is so true for me too. When playing with confidence it is positive at NL25 - when playing with less confidence it starts a gradual but definite downward swing!

lol :D

recently had a massive dswing at 50nl so moved down to 25nl and am crushing it. My games getting better but sometimes variance just hits you in the face like a brick. My red line is almost always negative but thats because im pretty shitty at playing oop and that im so tight from the blinds are pretty much guaranteed to lose money without showdown because of the blinds.

yeah moving down to regain confidence is a good thing...Let me know when you're on and I'll join your tables you were probably my favourite reg to play vs on NL25 6max....but tbh i think you should NL25 Fullring it up and settle things with genjix

fuck FR
