NL2 + Bankroll Building

After that run I realized how important bank roll really is. So I've made another $50 deposit and I've start at .1/.2NL and I've had mediocre results. I've been playing 1k-2k hands a day for the past few days. I tried to switch to .2/.5 when I hit 75 (buying in at $3) and I lost money there so I'm dropping down to .1/.2 again.

Current Results:

I don't really know anyone else that plays poker. Most of the people I talk to think I'm wasting my time AND money. I feel really confident though, and am willing to invest a lot of time. So, since the Liquid Poker people who I don't know are the only people I know in the poker scene, here I am. Any Advice, Suggestions, Obvious problems with my stats?

I also mainly 6 max 6tables .1/.2.. I've been thinking about switching it up to 9max. I've also been fairly break even in 2-10$ heads up. Does it really just depend on your style or is there a particular method for building bank roll that is the most efficient?

Thanks

go to 'poker articles' tab, then look under the section 'articles for beginners.' after you have read them, try to develop a consistent 'standard' of play for the games, stick to full ring. be patient and learn to multi table efficiently and do not rush, move at a pace that keeps you focused and comfortable, i would suggest 4 to start. try to find someone from LP to review hands or hand histories with you, maybe sweat you for a session to cement the basics into your game.

1) play less tables
2) read and improve your game
3) profit!

check out the beginner articles in this forum.

good luck


/ oh..btw. u limp too much.

Learn 9-max first, it's easier, and then also word from the big stakes players, it's easier to switch from 9max to 6max then it is other way around, i'm 25nl grinder still in 9max haha

see sig

.01/.02 ****

Play two tables of 6 max to start with. Start off by playing a very tight style and loosen up later when you learn more. Seems like you are playing too many hands and limping/calling too often at the moment. Gl

Thanks for the feedback.

I've read a large chunk of the poker articles here on LP.net as I've been lurking in the shadows for a few good months now. I started playing two tables of 6max, but then found I had the same results with 4 and 6 tables. I seem to have good results and then somehow talk myself into rationalizing a call with top 2 pair when I strongly feel like the guy has a set, and he always does. There goes my stack.


I'm going to start playing 9max and raise more call less, and really i need to learn to fold when I'm beat. And yes, I'm eager to get out .1/.2 but I think it's more important that I maintain discipline with my bankroll as I've struggled with this previously.

EDIT: Also, I hear a lot about table selection online, yet I don't really know what to look for. I'd assume you want a high average $ in the pot, but what else?

no need for discipline

just play the highest stakes u can afford and play conservatively
