2nl ten-table

red line has more to do with how you play your hands postflop, im pretty sure its really within the realm of possibility to play 8/6 and have + redline

and, hot tip, try to tie your emotional connection to the ev line, not the winnings line. (i guess that takes some bankroll) the ev line is much more consistent with what is happening on the tables (unless you get in the 2nd nuts vs nuts and such), whereas the "winnings" line jumps every which way all the fucking time

nice graph tho ^.^

9/7? Nigga, you only play QQ+?

forget your redline for a while, just focus on winning and getting your bankroll together

9/7 is fine, just wait for the nuts and leave other 9/7 infested tables and pick ones which have total retards and there should be a lot of them at nl2. try not learning advanced concepts for now and stick with hand charts and gtfo out of there as quickly as possible when ur rolled enough then start learning the game at around 10nl since theres a lot of training video players already by then. gl

that buck fifty gonna mean the difference between rent or not this next month. get er done.

I get that I'm under with the higher EV, though I still don't really get how.

down a cheeseburger.

? i dont know if you are actually asking this, so i apologise if im saying something really obvious here, but allin EV basically means like

ex, you go allin pre with kings, and villian has aces, for $2 each, pot is $4

you have 22% ev, which i guess is uhh, 0.88 ? so since you put in 2, your "allin ev" line goes down by 1.12. if you win, your winnings go up by 2, meaning you are over ev by 3.12. if you lose, your winnings go down by 2, meaning you are under ev by 0.88.

alternatively if you have aces you have 78% ev, so your allin ev line goes up by 1.12 (if you win, you're going to earn 2, and be 0.88 over ev, and if you lose, you go down by 2, and be 3.12 under ev)

anyway, the moral of the story is, your winnings/(or "under/over ev difference" ) line jumps all over the place, so try to just make the ev line go up, and not care as much about winnings

If you try to move your red line up you are gonna probably end up moving your blue line down. Just worry about winning money.

mad about being .75 buyins below ev?

im -40 bi in ev my last 40k hands. could be worse

your green line is going up at 18bb/100 and youre looking at the red line...

wtf who cares

thinking ahead fixes the red line imo, but it's not going down fast enough for you to be worrying about it
also, profitable poker is possible with negative redline
your EV line is very very close to your $$ line so that shouldn't be worth noticing

10 tables is too many for NL2. I can't see the point of someone playing more than 6 as a total maximum. You are there to learn not to grind out hands. Nice graph though, looks like you are doing fine, gl...

I'm there to learn not to grind out hands? (Don't you want to use a comma in there?) I already know how to play poker. I'm here to grind up BR. Otherwise, ty.

what is that even supposed to mean

if you're on your high horse and going to shoo away help, you're gonna have a really, really hard time.

we're all constantly learning. and those who aren't, are not keeping up with the games.

and, meeting the bankroll requirement to play a limit is about a million times easier than actually being good enough to maintain a consistent winrate there

SOLVED IT!

I was actually retorting to the fact that he assumed I'm there to learn. It's supposed to mean that I'm not a total fish. If I was trying to learn how to play, I'd be playing play money.

wow be a grammar nazi douche towards a perfectly understandable post.

if you already know how to play poker then we are of no help to you, dunno why you post if youve got it figured out.

What's with everyone thinking I'm asking for help?

youre obviously a fish, and even though you didnt explicitly ask for help, some good posters on this site (oly, rockman and others) were nice enough to try and help you.

but if youre gonna assume you already know how to play poker and not be appreciative of free advice from good players i hope everyone keeps that in mind next time you post.

If I'm a fish, let's do a little HU. SnG style or so many hands, though I'll only play with five bucks. It'll be like stealing candy from a baby, right?
