Stop loss vs Practice/Volume

holy shit 16 buyins? stop after like 3 or 4 and take a break.

If you feel yourself tilting, I say stop immediately. If you feel you are still playing well(be honest with yourself about it), then I say stop at 3-5

This is nitty but i stop at 4 and don't play the rest of the day
the old adage that you play worse when stuck and better when winning comes to mind

If I hit 6, I usually take a break and try to determine if it's how I'm playing that is making me lose. 25NL is a demon to people who have been grinding 10NL (talking from experience). I'm back to 10NL after getting crushed at 25NL again, but just remember the hard work that got you to 25NL in the first place and don't forget about it when you run bad or make a few mistakes. You're human and you're not going to learn unless you make a few moves here and there that don't work out.

Yeah, I remember getting crushed at NL25 constantly when trying to move up from NL10. We'll do another sweat session maybe.

when you get better with tilt control, you can let go of your stop loss rule and focus more on volume/practice

stoploss = br

WHY U NO GO UP?



This shit's frustrating, I'm winning at the very least 75%+ of the pots I play but every single one I lose I get stacked.

I'M SO FUCKIN TIRED OF SUCKIN DICKS AT THIS GAME

winning 75% of the pots is probably a leak. youre probably being a huge overly aggro monkey.

what's your WTSD%? when i see graphs like this, its usually because i'm going to showdown too often, mostly as a result of feeling like regs are bullying me and trying to push me off lots of pots, even though that's almost never the case. don't feel so pressured to win every pot when you're taking your shots, just stick to your game and make adjustments as you see some hands at showdown and figure out what it is that everyone is doing differently at 25nl compared to 10nl (hint: its probably not much).

Probably cause all the times you lose you are getting stacked vs losing small pots.

you are spewing hard and badly my man, think more nittily and focus on getting value when you make strong hands. don't be afraid to pfr and check-fold the flop

stop loss for mortals and "power through it" for degens

WTSD% = 31.2
W$SD% = 50.6

Don't feel so pressured to win every pot, just stick to your game

But that is my game... Or it used to be I guess.

Is 25nl that much different from 10nl? O_o

I haven't noticed that munch of a difference. There is less super easy to exploit fish and the table dynamics are "harder" since they're is lesser horrible players.

All of the "regs" are still very very bad tho and so am I. And I obviously ran really bad too to lose that munch in such a short sample.
