Down almost two buyins after 400 hands or so, BR at $2200. I have no idea how I can possibly crush 50 NL so easily but get raped at 100NL: maybe it's just variance?.
The only thing holding me back from pulling out my hair and screaming is that I took a lot of shots at 50 NL before being able to beat it, and now I can really rape it. I guess 100NL is going to be the same, but I thought I'd be at least breakeven with my current skillset.
I think my postflop game needs to change a bit, but I'm not sure how. I see people like Fayth and others who are beating 100nl and 200nl and they are playing like 20/17 or 22/18, but I'm playing about 16/13 or 15/12. Maybe the people at 100nl are smart enough to realize my image now and have figured out my game? Postflop I rarely 2 or 3 barrel, usually giving up after I cbet, which is 90% of the time. I could loosen up, but I really hate radically changing my game when moving up, because the price of learning is twice as much, but there is no point changing my game at 50 NL because I'm beating it quite easily.
To analyse the problems a bit more:
Everytime I cbet I get called, and since I have a hand less often than I usually do, I check on the turn and then fold on the river when they bet. But whenever I have a hand and 2 barrel, they insta fold. Obviously they are then floating me often, and the answer would be to start 2 barreling more to push them out, or to cbet less. I'm just unsure as to whether I'm really getting outplayed or it's just variance, though. Maybe I'll play my old, straightforward 15/12 style until I get down to $1900, then go back to $50 NL until I get up to $2400 once again, and I'll loosen up and see what happens.
Oh and fucking PAHud crashes every minute or so, so I basically cannot use it and see people's stats.
Thank God I had so many problems moving up to 50 nl that I can take some confidence from that and realize that I can do the same at 100nl and end up beating it. I would love to be at 5bb/100 at 100nl by the end of April. We'll see.
edit: Was going to go the cardrunners and watch a whole bunch of low stakes vids by GP and Stinger to get me into a LAG mentality, but today's video is 4 tables of 100nl on stars (MY STAKE, MY SITE) by muddywater: YAY.

I think you need to realize its more important to play well postflop then what your preflop stats area. |

i know: most of the post is talking about what to do postflop, like 2 barrelling and reducing cbet freq etc |

I'm having a lot of problems with C-betting too. I'm running really good over the last 20k hands or so and I'm not complaining or anything but I feel that I play less then optimal. I'm thinking that one should bet the flop vs a floater whenever one has a nice hand/draw (oesd or better) and whenever you've missed totaly (like 87s on a AKJ-board) because you don't really want to get pushed of a marginal hand or a really weak draw (like TPnokicker or a gutshot) so you should keep the pot small and valuebet the turn or river instead. Also, start check/raising know floaters sometimes, that'll make then less inclined to float if it looks like you might've hit something. However, I'm not sure if this is a good way to deal with it so I'll have to give it some more time. It has help me a bit though. |
