Deposited $50, now at $100+. Was stuck at $80-90 on fullring nl2 trying to follow grot's guide but nl2FR was just way too nitty. Switched to 6max and it's a lot more aggro, fun and profitable. I'll be staying 6max for good since it involves a lot more thinking.
Goals in poker for the new year: Keep playing and slowly progressing. I play college baseball and compete in olympic weightlifting so i'm fairly busy. Hopefully i'll find time to slowly improve until i have more time in the summer to move up to mid stakes and hone my game. Also, start posting more common situations that give me trouble so I can have others help me evaluate them.
After a shitty NL2 downswing on nitty FR stars I decided to switch to six max. I tried choosing tables well on stars in full ring but it just didn't pay off. People just shy away from raised pots unless they have the good and I was sick of never having anyone hit anything on the flop to stay in with me or my image was just way too nitty.
Anywhoo, 6max has been great as the players are easily exploitable because, number one they are terrible and number two they are actually putting money into the pot and not afraid postflop. It also helps that I'm on a heater and up 19 bucks in an hour and a half. Stay off nl2 6max if u want to keep ur cash =) jk im still pretty bad
Anyone have numbers on standard preflop %'s for hands played in 6max and FR for my level?
Here's the song that fueling my heater (if you enjoy acoustic guitar and classic rock you may like this):
I'm new here and starting a blog to analyze my play and receive advice from others. I'm a newb playing NL2 on stars. Deposited 50 and now up to 80-90 when i don't spew like a monkey on ipecac. I play 4-8 tables full ring so hopefully ill be at nl5 in a couple of days.
I had another LP id with about 12 posts on it but i lost my password to the cookie deletion monster and the password recovery deal isn't working so i'll just use my former tl.net id.
And i think i need to go back to my session now because ijust folded trips on the flop not paying attention and this clown is sending me on monkey tilt by him saying that i was bluffing:
