K well after dropping alot in less than like 800 hands, i decided that i could do better, and it was just bad luck that curb stomped me for my first attempt. Not to be beaten so easily, i went back to 100nl after a little break and was able to recover most of my losses. I dont find 100nl all that much harder than 50nl, just that people certain types of hands differently than the donks @ 50nl. Also, there's a shitload more 2+2 grinders or whatever who play really ABC. I was pretty liberal with my raises , but ended up fucking up a few big pots when i thought i was in a marginal situation - turns out that i was over thinking and giving my opponents way too much credit for hands.
For e.g, i get AA do a standard 4x bb, utg limper calls
flop 47h6h, i lead for 3/4, he calls
turn 7 , i lead for 1/2 pot he rr's 3x, i think and think and think and somehow feel that im beat or he's on some fucked up hand. I just couldnt put him on a hand but felt like i was beaten, i decided to call anyway because im stupid and was genuinely curious
river 9h, worst card ever, and he puts the rest in, i insta fold saving like 30$, and he says he had QQ
I really dont believe that , but whatever
Despite getting shit on in the first 800 hands, and those 2 misplayed hands, i was able to grind back to a little less than half a buyin down through just value betting the balls off a couple of deepstacked tardos. I actually would have been up a buyin or two if a whale on one of my tables who was running something ridiculous like 40/2 hit some crazy 2p to a running flush against my set. But meh, those people will fuel the game long term, so i cant be mad at that. (just annoyed when it happens to me :< )
So anyway, it was a fun time being "reunited" with my old stakes, and i look forward to learning the regs and just farming fish till i get a bigger BR. I might stick at 50nl for a little bit longer to pad the BR a bit, and take shots @ 100nl 4-5 times a week.
Next goal: 4k BR
Deadline: 1st of March
Baby steps!
