To hell with NL2 - Page 2

By the way 30Hands/Hour Average on Many NL2 Tables. Is that normal?

you say youre not learning anything multitabling, but wtf are you going to learn shortstacking?

also if you just c/f everytime you dont hit anything you need to learn the beauty of the cbet.

Yes, you have around 2-3 really dumb people at a table, but also 2-3 multitablers who play mechanically. So I have to wait my turn when I hit my 14% PF cards, hope that the multitablers don't have better and reraise me, hope that those dummies got A10 or simmilar and call me. People don't respect their blinds on NL2 on iPoker, and I hit the all-stack max twice per session. (and I buy in for $2 to avoid playing with my BR mgmt) Although profitable, its a loong adventure and a loss of time. The forced multitabling doesn't allow me to focus on my game which needs a lot of improvement. Sure I got leaks, as I posted earlier I am an idiot with One pair play and I put a massive red post-it on my screen 1 PAIR = FOLD, but in order to improve I need to start actually playing. My 3Bets are called like 20% on NL2. And to how I play: $2 Buy-in AA,KK,QQ 4BB+X AK Aks 5BB+x JJ, TT LP= 3BB+x, EP= call 99-22 Call 2BB Max, 3+ Inpot call 5BB max AQ LP=Raise EP= Call/ fold a non-minimum raise AJs Call MD-LP Axs Call 1BB mid-late position, 2+ In pot call up to 2BB, increase if more 7/10s J10s Qks JQs 3+ Inpot call max 3BB This is hoe I PF post flop its usually 2/3 raise, pot raise if there is a potential in flush draw coming, check/fold when I don't hit anything. Yes, I do rise but very very slowly and it starts to be very demotivational. I won enough BR to have 16 buy-ins shortstacked on NL4 now. So do you still reccomend to stay at NL2 you folks? I want to play with $1 NL4, rebuy under 20BB, change table with 40BB with same PF play as described

oh my god... I think this will really help you start out.

That guide is for 6 Tabling and you can't by any means apply it on 10 ring micro stakes. My fluctuation was so massive I abandoned playing loosely there.

And What I learn? BR Management, Patience, behaviors of players and other basic things.

And I will build up by bankroll most importantly. There really is no need to Bluff and try to extensively read my oponent besides basic stats. On NL2-4 all sort of random shiz happens and you never know what cards the opponent has. I think that there is time to move to deep stack later.
And I have corrected my chart for starting hands according to PokerStrategy, started using tracker (so I steal blinds kinda often from multitablers) and have stricter BR now.

WHen you are at start the results are what matters in order not to lose motivation, and result shortstack delivers
