Hello faithful readers, lets start with the shots at 25NL so far...

It has been going okay, I have plenty of leaks I have to fix. I've been going back down to 10NL after I'm feeling a little spewy to gain confidence and de-tilt. The biggest problem I have so far is with the short stacks. I give them absolutely no respect and try to "outplay" them by 3betting and whatnot. Simply put, I should be trying to nail them with solid hands and destroying them with my superior kickers. Against normal stacks, I've been trying to adopt a LAG style of play. This is -EV to me at this point because I simply don't have the skill to play it proficiently but because of a few heaters, I've been able to be up.

In order to counter this behaviour, I've been playing a little tighter to be prepare for some variance. Weirdly enough, I find that there are more spewtards at 25NL than 10NL. I'm playing on Titan (which I'm assuming is soft compared to PS/FT) and there seem to be more nits at 10NL. I would like to give credit to Ryan Fee's Guide To 6max, which I've been studying for a bit. Double/Triple barreling (guide shows you how and when) might be too fancy for 25NL but I've gotten away with some decent pots using it. Trying to balance being fearless and not spewy, finding it difficult to do so.

Here are some stats so you guys can berate/advise:

10NL
VPIP: 25.1
PFR: 20.3
AGG: 5.37
3BET: 7

25NL
VPIP: 27.3
PFR: 22.5
AGG: 5.95
3BET: 6.5

Now for my live tournament...

My friend is going away to HK for awhile so we've decided to organize one last tournament. There's going to about 30 people with a buy in of 25$ each. I'm not bragging but I think I'm a favorite to win, considering most of my friends (and friends friends) are fish. I've been playing some donkaments on PS recently to sharpen my game but I'll have to admit, still pretty bad. Hopefully the tournament turns out nicely and win some money :D
