I am tired of not being as good a cash game player as I want to be, I cannot understand why I keep losing at cash games but I can generally win in tourneys. For personal reason I want to stop playing as late at night, I need to get my fat ass in shape.
I have once again re-evaluated my play. I am losing big pots while winning small ones.
Here are my issues.
-I play too many hands out of position especially in 6 max games.
-I call too much with hands that need to hit a flop to win, if I play them I need to 3 bet and take control of the hand.
-My bet sizing is off, I either bet too little or too much.
o Balugawhale stated in a Deuces Cracked video, that "we win our money from value betting, not bluff catching".
-I have not had a multi-street plans when playing hands.
-I go on auto-pilot to often and only play my cards.
My plan…
I am dropping my play to $10 NL. To move up I have to play 100K hands and win a minimum of $500. I need to work on the above issues. I will play 100K to 200K at each level before I even think about moving up, assuming I am beating the game.
Poker Tracker has a nifty feature that I have not been using as much as I should, you can mark a hand for review, and this way you do not have to search for hands that need your attention.
My long term plan is to play larger samples of hands at each level, I need to get to a positive number at every level, that is going to be a trick at some of the levels.
I figure I will continue to play SNG's for fun, and also play the cash games, if it takes me 3 or more months to get 100K of hands in then so be it. I am going to have fun with it.
I have whined about these issues before, its time to fix them or quit. I need to drop in level because I do not have to 25+ buy in's for the $25 level in my bankroll, yet. The ego has to leave my game, leaving the confidence to make the correct play
This is an older post... I started the program May 18th... Currently just shy of 20K hands played... up $280

i dont think theres really much to gain in forcing yourself to play 100k hands at each limit if you feel like you can beat it. take aggressive shots, just have the discipline to move down if you lose. |

I disagree with the above statement. You might perceive to be able to beat a limit when you're on a heater. but 100k hands just so happens to barely scratch all the little intricacies of the entire limit/player pool for a particular site. Play at least 100k hands imo, thats my plan as well for each level. |

you shouldn't set such constraining goals, otherwise you may feel bad about not finishing them. 50K hands with a 25K option and another 25K option sounds more than good. anyway gl with it i feel if you do put in 100K hands your foundation will more than strong |

If I were you, I'd set the restriction at 50k hands. If you figure out how to win and are a solid 5ptbb/100 winner for those hands, you'll have 30 bi's for nl25. No reason to keep going if you keep winning
I've been hovering around nl10 for months now so the best advice I can give is don't try to run everyone over with agression, that's such a fast way to lose money. |
