100nl confidence issues

Study and play. I hope NL100 is beatable without a coach, although I'm breakeven currently after 21k hands (small sample).

that's pretty much my approach. I've been doing a decent amount of reading and watching vids in the times that I'm not playing. I also try to get a decent amount of hands in as well as sweating people/being sweated.

100nl should definitely be beatable sans a coach and I just don't understand what's going on atm.

lol i'm feeling the same way atm -_-

but I lost 12 buyins in the last 2 days soooooo bleh

hey guys ive played around 30k hands on 100nl, doing decently but have variance problems

pm me if you wanna exchange msn's to discuss poker and stuffs

i remember nl100 being easier than nl50.. just run bad...

Uhhh 100nl is worlds tougher than 50nl. It's essentially the first level you play established professionals. You guys are on drugs.

I was break even nl100 for maybe 200k+ hands lol.
A friend who play nl600+ taught me the game and pointed out my leak.(he spend like 2h/day for me wich is really cool)
Now I have the feeling that I crush this limit and playing really well (+30 bi in 3 weeks , 5/6h / day) and should move up soon.

Youd should try this and ask for a coach imo , it really helps a lot.

For your specific problem , maybe you're too passive and have a %fold to 3 bet and 4bet to high
Or it's just variance

Oh !
and I don't know how many tables you play but I was usually plaing 9 tbles and since I only play 4 I play better and learn more
(sorry for my english )

agreed.

People at 50nl play super straight forward and only a few regs will be 3betting you light, whereas it's common place to see light 3bets a ton at 100nl. People also start 4bet bluffing and aren't afraid to fire multiple barrels. 50nl is incredibly passive compared to 100nl, there's tons of aggrotards here it seems.

I'm just confused as to why I'm finding it as challenging as I am atm. Maybe I just need to grind through for a while and see what happens.

my standard was 4 tables for the longest time. I usually 6 table now as it prevents me from spewing too much when i get bored lol.

what were the big leaks that you plugged?

p.s. your english is completely fine

my leaks that I plugged are :
I don't valuebet river enough
%fold to 4bet too high
open with trash like A2o or K9o CO (I play 5-max)
3bet KQ or AJ , call is better. If you want balance your 3bet it's better to 3bet 97s than KQ ^^)
4bet light with AQ , A2s A5s is better if you really want 4bet bluff
don't give up in 3bet pot
and a lot of things

My worst leak was to not valuebet enough wich is a leak that 90% nl100 players have and which cost a lot

keep ur head up,

just continue playin dude, its the movin up syndrome, ppl is not that good, we just overthink a lot when movin up.

keep ur A game and u will start makin profit in no time.

You brought up some interesting points there that raise some questions:

What do you mean by folding to 4bets too much? As in you should be calling more 4bets with a wider range? Or that you should be shipping over them with a wider range?

4betting "lighter" with AQ and call shoves? That seems like a good way to get stacked? Or do you mean only when people are 3betting u a ton.

When u say don't give up in 3bet pots - u mean both when you and the other guy has the betting initiative? or just when you have it to keep barreling good cards?

Thanks for the list and it should make for some good discussion.

As for value: I'm very comfortable with getting value out of my hands, there's just a rare case where I miss value on the river. But I agree back in the past I was a lot worse at extracting value from my hands.

please dont fps with 4bet pots...people dont 4bet bluff enough on nl100 to overthink about it

you can still win playing a tight pretty abc game at 100nl. look at ronfar... guys a nit

I've been winning but I just feel that I'm being given a lot of trouble and it's making me a bit uncomfortable.

just play solid in 3bet and 4bet pots. nobody is bluffing, like ever.

if it really is just a confidence issue, try moving down then playing nl100 again on the weekend when it's softer

if u play more ull get more experience/confidence
