NL5 -> NL10

Can please give me tips on crushing nl5? I was playing nl10 then lost 50% of BR due to spewy/tilty play and doomswitch, so im back to nl5.

very nitty imo

Yea I think so too.

As for the tips uh.. Id say play every PP and hope for a set. Limp it in early and mid position, but raise it at late position. The reason I limp early is cause if I raise and get reraised, they usually either have QQ+ or AK and it just wont be worth it. Experienced players probably wont agree with me here but I find it really effective in this limit. Probably not working for NL10 though haha. Another thing that happens alot in this limit is when your the preflop raiser and in position, and someone does a minbet or some small bet on the flop before you, always raise it to something a bit larger than your normal cbet. 90% of the time these people are either testing your strength, or drawing. The other 10% of the time they're slow playing you. In the case well.. yea.

I heard recently when searching on3betting, that most tight/good regulars at low stakes have a 3bet % around 6-7% or around that neighboerhood if that helps ya out.
If you use a hud of some sort, you can 3bet fishes with semi good hands, doesn't have to be top of ur range, and when you wanna 3bet regulars, do it when ur in position.

your PFR does look a bit too low, I remember in Pokey's Poo Bah post (super post) He said if you wanted to find out if you're too passive, and not aggressive enough, take your PFR and divide it by ur VIP from each position except the blinds, if you get 0,5 or lower ur not aggressive enough.

Att. steal blinds should be around 20-30% (rly good ppl manage to be on top of that range, even higher or the sick ones xD)

Should be playing x2 as many hands on the button as ur playing utg, and this is for 6max, not sure if it should be even more in fullring.

Also if you're having a lot of difficulties with the shortstacks it's because of www.pokerstrategy.com sick many shortstackers get their strategy from there, and they only search for full ring tables, and start playing at 10nl I think, that's why so many fullring people have migrated to 6max lately.

And also if you wanna sharpen ur pokerskills, take the time and study, read this fine piece of work. I recommend printing it out, making a book out of it, reading it when you sit properly, take notes. Because it is gold.

ps, do not call to much, calling gives you 1 shot at winning, with the best hand, betting gives you 2 shots.

Hope any of this helps xD

Oh, and if you're thinking "but this is 6max" That doesn't matter, when first 3 positions in fullring has folded, you're playing 6max

seriously.. STOP CALLING SO MUCH FROM SB AND BB. also if you enter the pot then RAISE, dont fucking limp.
your SB and BB are complete joke. they should be the tighest of em all. play IN POSITION.

You need to be stealing a whole lot more - open up from late position. My steal % for the month is about 40% and I'm running at 50bb/100 using the HEM filter for those steal attempts.

Also isolate limpers - (4x + 1BB per limper) with a fairly wide range - just start with more premium hands and then expand your range until you find a comfortable balance. This principal applies to opening your range at any point for any situation actually.

Marius is right - don't call too much - betting is far superior in most situations.

Who care about shortstack ? They have only 2$ on nl10 which is just a joke. Just shove any figures, pp, and the likes because most of the times they're calling shove with 22-AA.
Just think what are in their mind when they're shortstacking. AKs ss raise, get 3bet, shove >>> any pp is better than this.
You need to play flips against them, otherwise you're losing in the long run.
