Deadlift, nl50, BB.

sick deadlift (care to trade some muscle for some 50nl BI's ) and graph man, how did you manage to flatten that red line so much? anyway regarding to the BB and SB winrate, its very high variance as you can see you only have a 16k sample. you also are winning from the SB which is impossible (EV wise). youre prolly experiencing positive variance on the SB and negative variance on the BB. oh and try not to look at your EV, its really inaccurate and is at best avoided.

if you folded 100% from the big blind you would be losing 100bb/100. so youre at least winning half your money back by playing hands. totally normal to be losing from there. my position stats usually look similar.

youre probably quite a bit too loose from late position btw. all positions really. it works vs people who play too tight (NL25), but you are spewing vs people with a clue. maybe the reason for you smashing NL25 and having troubles when moving up. try tightening up a lot when you move up. you do prefer to be looser, so i would suggest something around 26/22

how many days do you usually go? i try to go 3-4 days/week and it seems like anything more there just isn't enough recovery time. failgenes i guess.

18.4% VPIP from early position is indeed a shitload of hands. Playing JQo from UTG is not a winning play ;o.

@aernout I just bet my equity, ppl dont really raise much so you won't usually get blown off your hand

Raise Ah3h CU, call from BU, flop comes 9c2s5h. How I play it depends villain, but a standard reg's range is weighted to pp's and some broadways.
If I decide I'm trying to get him of a pocket pair, I go ahead and just bet flop, most turns and most rivers. if u bet 3/4 flop u need around 40% equity to make an EV+ bet at flop, gutter+over+bdfd(1 out) is 8 outs, so 16% equity, which means if he folds 1/4 of his hands its a good bet (the other 25% of equity comes from the fold equity). On turn u can bet any scare card T-K, any heart, any 4 obv and any ace which is like half the deck; on river I'll eval but usually bet again, obviously my value range (aces, flushes, straights) and blanks if turn was a scare scard.

On position its even easier obviously, since you usually get to see both flop and turn when u cbet and therefore have 32% equity.

@Daut+Twisted LOL I tought it was overall (so "winrate" should be -16,6bb/100) not just in that position. I did play tighter at nl50, but mostly as a result from adjusting my ranges to the people in blinds. At nl25 most people defend less than 20% so you can open any2 SB and fairly wide on button. That said, I'll check the bottom of my UTG and MP ranges and see how money is going there.

@bigredhoss I train 6x a week. Depends on the way you train and what you do in the gym, captain kirk squated once a week, deadlifted once a week and benched twice a week; something similar for Ed Coan and most american powerlifters. On the other hand ppl like Jamie Lewis (raw WR total holder at 185 and soon to smash more raw records) trains twice a day, and so do many russians like belyaev. Its about finding what works with you (intensity, volume, number of exercises, etc) and at what time (diet, sleep, alcohol, stress, age, etc)

Im wondering, have you fixed the stats so they don't start counting till it's 5 handed, or is there a lot of HU hands as well in there, from when tables start? That might give the impression that ur too loose (so you might in fact not be as loose as the stats implied maybe xD).

I know the name of a guy who's suppose to be a master at finding leaks in Hem, and using it efficently.

Think it's Alan JAckson, at least Alan, not 100% on the last name. He got one of the biggest coaching threads on 2+2 (with the most views and comments), and he's a coach at bluefire. All his vids are only about hem, how to use it etc, maybe 70 vods on it or something.

well done

tighten up and you will be fine at NL50.
gl!

Number one tip imo - you'll clearly notice when you're getting 3bet more... and ya, you will a bit more. and nothing serious. The problem is - you'll start to think they're fucking with you. Even if it's literally 2-5% more, that's a tiny part of it.

They normally aren't. You're solid, you should be fine. Just don't over-think it man. Same game, better money

since 2content taught us all game theory, i have resorted to only open shoving AA in the first 5 positions

strong

there is a significant difference between 25 and 50NL. In short - more competent players and less fish..

you can get away with lots of stuff opening loads of hands, running some dumb bluffs at 20NL, but at 50 ppl gonna notice more often.

If you opening 50% of BU and you have competent player in the blinds, hes gonna notice and start play back at you.

srsly dude first thing I recommend is tighten up, if I see you at my table playing 30/27 opening 50% BU, I am gonna defend way more than my std and play back at you post flop, specially if you cbet 60%+ you are cbetting 30% of your brute pf range and cant stand heat on lots of boards
