Well I planned to grind NL25 for about 25 BI's to $1,500 and then restart NL50 cause I had been tilting nonstop due to being on a somewhat short BR. I kept going up and down between 1,000 and 1,300. I just play so much better when I'm very deeply rolled for the limit I'm at.
So I took the opportunity to mass multi-table @ NL25 for a few days. I played 11-15 tables of 6max and it was weird to go back to the mass tabling, cause you go through swings that normally take a few days while 4 tabling in just 1 session of multi-tabling. I also got a lot of practice at figuring out the betting patterns that shitty players take when they're weak or strong. That is something that will be helpful as I move back up... I used to have trouble figuring out wtf the fish were doing and now it makes a LOT more sense, hah. I used to just play the board/my hand but never their hand or actions. If it was a fish I'd just autopilot, but now I feel like I have some reads that will help me get more value and dodge some bullets.
Anyway, my NL25 time went ok - I was playing so nitty that my profit/loss basically came from how I was running, cause I rarely put on any moves or light call downs, so if I didn't hit a hand I usually didn't make money, and if people didn't hit something with me there was never very much going on. And so the main focus was on making good folds with good but defeated hands, and being sure to bet nice and strong with all the nut hands. But sometimes I'd donk off a stack here or there with a hand like AK on a ARR board and run into 2p or some shit, where I coulda folded if I'd been paying attention. I had some 8 buyin winning days, and some 8 buyin losing days, heh. I still came out ahead but would have had much better results with like 4 tables or so. Next time I drop down I'm sticking to 4 tabling, especially after seeing caleb's results @ NL25 4tabling and thinking back to how many buyins people just threw at me.
I moved back to NL50 last night after my bonus cleared, putting my BR up around $1,700. Things have gone well so far and I'm up a few buyins and playing really good poker. It's so nice to do 4 tables instead of 11 - a lot more fun cause the depth of the game increases. I have been able to make more good folds recently than ever before, plus now that I'm not mass tabling I can make small moves like 4bet bluffs vs the right guys and so on, things I wouldn't even consider before. Things like that bring up the winrate a LOT. I also made did a pretty good job inducing a bluff vs a donk - check it in the spoiler. So here's my NL50 results so far since last night.
+ Show Spoiler +
I left my first session of the day after that hand cause I was so happy about it and wanted to end on a good note =) Keep the positivity going!
I'm planning to start NL100 around $2,500 but maybe I'll wait till 3K... not sure yet. But I am gonna get back to NL100 and cruise into NL200 again! I know it, just need time to let the luck even out. I haven't had a heater in ages so hopefully when I take my NL100 shot I sit into a serious heater. Now THAT would be awesome, hehe.

yeah idk if it's a good thing that 12 tabling autopilot works at my stakes as it probably does nothing to prepare me for the upper limits
i really did notice that the game is much much tougher with less tables as ironic as it may sound, since i definitely do have to play more than the cards i'm dealt, given the time i have....
anyways... good luck at 50NL hopefully i'll see you there soon  |
