4nl/10nl graph for past 2 weeks all at merge. traxamillion makes me sad because he never says hi back to me on the tables T_t;;;

sweet ev line imo

i also have about $150 in points that i'm waiting to hit next VIP level to cash in so that'll be a nice bonus

it's incredible how running 11bi below ev in under 2k hands can smash weeks' worth of grinding. this game disgusts me

Seems in the past few days my internet decides to shit its pants after a half hour or so with Carbon open, and reconnects as soon as I open it...has anyone else experienced this? Any idea what it could be?

After getting back into the online scene (thx Carbon lol), I've done a lot of work on my game. I have a good friend who has played professionally across multiple sites as high as 10/20 (as far as I know) who has sort of become my "mentor," and it's made me look at the game a lot differently.

If you're a struggling microstakes player, I might have some useful advice.

In regards to "range"...stop thinking poker stove wise, and use your head. Observe your opponents and see how you can use both your image and your position to open a wider range of hands. Force yourself into strange postflop decisions because of opening marginal hands; this will force you all around to have a better game sense.

Related, forget about the money. Nothing you can lose at microstakes is anything that you can't make back working at McDonald's for a few weeks, so the money factor shouldn't bother you at all. Try bluffs in spots you wouldn't normally. If you get snapped off, then you know you probably shouldn't have bluffed there and you can make note for next time.

Range in regards to position...so you want to play XX hand on the button, but it's not normally in your "range." So...3bet it! Fuck it, why not right? This gives you the betting lead in position on someone you probably can out-think or out-play, which is never, ever a bad thing.

On the whole, I guess what I'm trying to say is to stop playing ABC once you understand how to play ABC. Of course there are times when you're going to have to show down top set, but you can't rely on coolering people to make all your profits. Force yourself to understand the game better. In no way am I saying that I'm "good" compared to a lot of people who play, but I wanted to share some things I feel I've learned recently with those who are in the same position I was 8 months ago.



Not a huge sample, but this is my results graph since moving to Merge so I'm not COMPLETELY talking out of my ass (note the sick 10bi swing where I ran 7bi below EV D.

Few hands that would not have happened if I was playing the same way I was playing 8 months ago:

First, got my LP store stuff. Blue hoodie, black long sleeve, and black dress shirt :D will update with pics later.

Haven't posted here much since Black Friday, but started playing live 1/2 and 1/3 at casinos by my house. Got about $500 off Stars plus a job over summer and I've played maybe 20 hours of live a week since July, which has been great. Up probably 3.5-4k, and my job is ending (seasonal) in a few weeks so I'll be a donk live grinder for a while. Had one week where I lost 1200 over 2 sessions and that was probably the most humbling experience I've had in a long time, but all in all life is good and I hope everyone else is doing well as Summer comes to a close.

GL HF LP! :D
