Hi there, kind of my first post here in lp.. gonna introduce myself.

I play poker around a year and a half.. basicly began on stars playing retarded sngs and then started live MTTs on casinos of my country (i live in Lima-Peru so excuse me if my latino fucked up english sucks).. after winning some decent money i decided to play cash tables and got a deal with the guy who introduced me to online poker.. bongky.

Right now im a "decent" (as if not bad but not too good either) reg playing nl20 6max on ipoker. Used to play FR but due to friends advice and the desire of stop being a rbnitpro i switched to 6max (About 3 months ago).

Started 6max with $800 on february and went down on the learning process to $600. After feeling like a piece of trash i got some coaching from bongks and saw a couple of poker vids (basicly Verneer's cardrunners vids).. they helped me, A LOT.

Kind of felt nice when i changed from this (march) to this (april). My red line sucks a lot but im happy i kind of stopped it from going straight down to kind of down, rofl.

This is how im doing on may so far:

Decent winrate i guess.. the only problem is that during may i realized i had 1.5k roll so i went like "omg time to nl50 yay"... and got crushed on 700 hands losing like 6 buyins running really bad and of course playing bad because of that (scary new limit, bawww).

Now 6 buyins aint that bad.. but then you consider that 6 nl50 buyins = 15 nl20 buyins.. ouch.

Not that bad tho.. i feel so confident everytime i sit at nl20 tables that i end up winning 4-5bis like its nothing.. so during this week i recovered all my nl50 losses on nl20.. im back now at 1.5k.

Now, do you think i should do anything special b4 doing my 2nd shot?.. i mean, i know you all pros are like "omg its fuckin micros play ABC poker and thats it you newfag" but it doesnt look like that when i join the tables. Nl20 is so freaking passive i play 22/20 sometimes reaching 25/23 and i crush everyone.. 3bet around 6 all the time.. but when i play on nl50 i get 3bets and 4bets all the time i try to get control of the table and that makes me reach a tilt point.

basicly:

nl20 = easy 3bets from me = a lot of small pots = profit

nl50 = easy 3bets from me = lots of 4bets from other players = losing small pots a lot = tilt = not profit.

Im thinking of starting nl50 playing more TAG than usual and kind of 19/17 or something like that.. at least thats what bongky told me it would be a good plan so.. i guess ill try it.

oh, btw ipoker just slapped me and called me a "shark".. making my rb smaller than it used to be.. booo.

welcome to the forum gl~

22vpip and 25vpip is pretty normal btw...and you could probably do with higher 3 bet also

You need to be careful not to make over assumptions about people playing back at you. Most of the times they DO have a hand. Most common way to spew in micro is be paranoid about people bluffing. If you're reasonably sure ppl are 3-4 betting you light, you can shove light. (pps are great for these) You have good fold equity and obv doing great against broadways
