just ended a 2/4 shot, some random ramblings, stream of conciousnesss
humbled
-lost a bit at 2/4 (combo of a few suck outs, light tilt graduating to mild tilt)
something i realized recently is that everyone at 2/4 and prob 1/2 know how to play solid. i think for the most part of my time at micro stakes/low stakes nlhe my greatest strength was playing in position with a wide range of hands while dabbling in 3 bet pots.
i played 2/4 today with just 2 tables with alot of focus. my 2 specific tables played relatively passive and although the time came for me to be the aggressor (in multiple spots) i simply passed as i didn't want the variance. however because i did this i was essentially passing up my edge. i don't feel like i have that much of an edge in these games in single raised pots.
there is alot of room for growth. i think i have all the experience and knowledge to win at 1/2 and 2/4. but the biggest problem is that piecing everything together. parallels can be drawn from single and 3bet pots, position is always key, stack/pot ratio is always in mind. like i think i know nearly all the considerations, it's just a matter of putting all the information together and reaching a thoughtful conclusion. its like learning alg 1 and 2, calc, differential equ, linear algebra and then going on and producing a thesis or a theorem of your own. it's using everything you've learned up until now to read deeper on every flop, and narrow people's ranges and pin point game flow like temperature.
playing 2 tables of 2/4 really opened my eyes as well as expanded my mind. yes it was uncomfortable but the new stimuli was sought for, and my heart hasn't pounded so hard in a very long time.
also what is your buy in rule at nl400? 25? 30? start taking shots at 20?
also it's x-mas and i may share a few tips on how i broke away from micro stakes over the course of the month.
also sc2 is as addicting as sc1

It depends if you play for a living or not imo ...
I've got 500 bi for nl 100$
I'll come back to nl 200 when I'll crush nl 100 (3BB/100)
I used to beat nl200 € but I took a long break from online , had a huge downswing live in October (after a monster upswing in september  )
I'm an extrem obv , but I think when you play msnl , you have to worry about your winrate , not your bankroll.
my english sux , sorry ... |

hey waga i think playing better players at nl200 will put u in spots where you feel so exploited you unintentionally may tighten your asshole  it's spots like these that get's you thinking and then you move down to nl100 and do the same things. at least that's how i learned some of my poker
and holy shit 500K for nl100 |

well, i guess you should start taking shots w a 30 bi br. That's safe enough imo. By the way way to take the sand out of the vagina and take shots ! good job man ! |

buyin rule is whatever you're comfy with.
hell, take a 1 buyin shot if you don't care about the money and/or don't depend on poker as an income.
whereas if you're living off of it it's obv a huge difference.
just gotta find a system that works well for you. everyone is quite different.
