So I hit 4k yesterday and decided to start taking some NL200 shots, especially starting today and going through the weekend since we should be getting a huge influx of fish right now. I played about 200 hands this morning and lost 1 buyin while running super cold. Every flop I missed and Cbet I got raised or check-raised, and every flop I hit my Cbets were met with folds. I think I also sat into people having a huge heater vs me cause I kept getting 3bet and whenever I 3bet I got 4bet. At first I was thinking "WTF raises, 3bets, nonstop, is NL200 super fucking aggressive?". But my session later today showed that I was just running into hands.
My second session went better though I made some mistakes and got lucky. Could have been a devastating session but I sucked out JJ vs AA AIPF and hit a flush vs a set all-in on the flop in a 3bet pot. I ended up winning 2.5 buyins and recovering from the first session.
When I tried to move up to NL200 10 months ago I failed miserably. I was terrified and playing very scared. The money seemed like so much. And my heater was ending so all my spewy plays were causing me a lot of pain. I had no idea how to handle 3bets and suddenly people were 3 betting all the time, causing me to spaz out and spew. It was really bad.
This time went much better. I wasn't nervous at all. The money didn't seem like a lot. I felt very comfortable. The only problem I had was in 3bet pots - I didn't have the balls to be aggressive unless it was a perfect board for it, and I was also a bit too stationy. I need to review all my 3bet hands and figure out if I was just playing scared or if I was being smart. Other than that I felt great and can't wait to make NL200 my regular level. For the first time the money feels significant enough that I think "Yeah I could make a some good cash outta this". NL100 kinda has that feel, but you gotta grind a lot. NL200 is still a grind, but to the point where I can do it on the side and make about 1-2k a month which would be a nice supplement to my job.
I'm gonna go study now and if I feel good after studying I will play more poker. If the tables are good I'll do NL200, otherwise I'll keep on NL100.
Hopefully I'll soon be making a post about having a huge NL200 heater!

haha it may seem like that since I haven't talked poker lately, but it's been over 10 months since the last time I tried this. Taken me 10 months to get back here. So it's been way long, hehe.
but things have gone much faster after doing coaching with sakisaki =) |
