Well, I have been playing 400 nl permanently for like 18k hands now, and its not going good at all. Swung down 12 buyins, back up 10 to only down 2, then down 10 buyins total again, to finally back to 0.
I think I have a really bad image or something, because I always get my bluffs snapped, and people sometimes autostackoff TT like its normal all in preflop, even when I change my 3 betting range to AK/JJ+. They don't notice when I slow down, EVER. Its kind of annoying, I like being aggressive and pushing people around, but it seems people just play back way too much and stack off so light that I have no choice to play tight cuz I can't soul read.
The problem I am having is that its not fun to play when I am a marginal winner. I can have a -$4k day without even playing badly. So moving ups opportunity cost is a smaller winrate and even less hands because I am less motivated to play. I just have to climb the mountain top and be able to crush 400 nl, I can't wait until that day because I am so ready to grind out a ton of money at mid stakes and maybe even get to 1k nl in not that long.
Here are my stats. I think the most noticeable problem is my turn AF, I feel like my double barreling tendencies are off, I always pick the wrong time to do it, and that makes me want to do it even less in the future. I need to get the gameflow/board texture/aggression of opponents down better for turn frequencies.

PS nl400 is very aggressive in general, people stack off REALLY light as it is, I don't think it's you, I just think it's every regular's tendency to think that people are 3betting and 4betting light and all that. Hang in there, it'll get better. |

I'm complaining because it is hard to adjust to playing tighter... I was playing crazy loose at 200 nl and killing people because they would just fold fold fold, and now Its like I 3 bet somebody one time they go apeshit but I'm too stupid to sit and wait for a hand cuz i just wanna go and 3 bet them again |

yah I was just gonna make the point Trey made, dont you find that in comparison to 200, the play on 400, especially pf, is way way way more aggro? |

most people play loose at spots to get the things happening that you are complaining about
maybe you should reevaluate a little bit |

yeah, i think my game needs some retooling, but i went from 7.2ptbb over 110k hands at 200 nl to 2.5ptbb at 400 nl, i think thats too much of a swing .... I might take a lesson from some higher stakes player again, that always helps me out.
My future goals are this:
1.Get at least a 4 pt bb winrate at 400 nl over 100k hands
2. Once that has happened and BR is 60k move up to 1k nl
Thoughts? Advice? I really want to make it in this game.
In 12 months I plan on going pro for a year or two so I want to be in a good place for that. Already got close to 100k in the bank from poker so i'm set financially, now i just need to build a huge br and start my journey to 1k nl. |
