So I’ve finally completed NL 5 after about 6 months and 3 sites!
Here’s my run, bulldozing the penny tables on Pokerstars:

There was some standard variance in there, a 10 buy-in downswing, but I’ve become used to it, and It didn’t really effect me at all. But because of the variance in 6-max LAG I decided to use a 30 buy-in rule. Cuz I’m a nit where it counts.

I really feel like I’ve learnt a lot playing NL5 for so long. Because there is so little at stake I have been able to experiment a lot, see what a lot of lines mean, and gain a lot of experience.

I’ve found that this 4 table loose st<x>yle worked very well, I get enough information about my opponents to adapt. The looseness works because I get into a lot of situations where I can exploit the big leaks in my opponents game: the postflop leaks.

I still feel I have some postflop leaks myself, but I think I have most of the basics down. I’ll continue to gain experience and analyze hands where I feel I can improve.

I’d like to thank pav for the $25 which got me started on stars, and
Midian ,Daut and twotimesopt for making the videos where I learned how to play aggressive poker.
Also thanks to anyone who commented on my hands and gave advice, please continue to tell me how bad I am in future!

Ok, on to NL10! No retreat, no surrender (won’t move down unless bankroll somehow falls below $100)
