NL25 is Impossible

just my humble opinion but sounds like a Full Tilt problem and/or variance

Very interesting point-- I've seen so many AK vs AA on FT, seems like it shouldn't be statistically possible (AK is supposed to be safer to get in because of blockers to AA/KK, except on FT).

don't try to get it in vs the average nl25 player with AK imo

yeah, im finding the get it in AK shit doesnt quite work out so well in nl25. i had some doomswitch last night myself lol. it seems only 1 in 50 will 4bet QQ...its almost always AA/KK. sometimes shorties ship worse...but rarely

lol i love lp.net

everyone gets KK vs AA and set vs flush. You need to get value and stack others in order to not get raped by a run bad, and it's not that hard since there's value everywhere at micro.

I'm more eager to get AK in when its CO vs blinds, button vs blinds, etc. I don't ship when early/middle position opens, i 3bet, and he 4bets. I 3bet fold AK there.

And I always ship AK vs random $10-15 dollar stacks (40-60 bb's).

By the same way of thinking though, you should fold KK to 4bets and 5bet jams as well then? Because QQ/AK is not 5-bet jamming?

Sounds pretty bad...but not what I really mean. I was playing a pretty good game from my standards (I was beating NL10 at 7BB/100). Of course I'm still constantly exploring ways to plug leaks and extract more value, just the game I was playing today ... it seemed like I was running into a LOT of coolers. x(

if at some point you made a conscious decision to take on poker somewhat seriously, recall :

this is what you signed up for

yeap it sucks. Im trying to build my roll up right now at 25nl and sadly im running at 4ptbb under ev. I know it sucks but just keep putting in the hands and as long as your ev ptbb is in the green that should be enough motivation for you to understand that you are a profitable player.

at least you're rolled for nl25, that's something
