Message: [QUOTE="c9h13no3, post: 1114999, member: 15450"] Because I built my roll from a 50$ deposit playing 2$ NL for 2 months. After that, I had 300$ and was rolled for 10$ NL. I've pulled myself out of the microstakes, which you haven't accomplished after "40 years of experience", so I think I know what I'm talking about. No, it won't decline. But at 2NL, you need to focus on playing the right hand ranges vs. the right players, and always staying ahead of their range. Telling a $2 NL player that he needs to "learn to win with the worst hand" is a great recipe for a long string of losing sessions. Winning with weak hands requires good hand reading & betting skills that players at this level just do not have. And from reading your hand histories, you don't have these skills either. So my simple bullet point advice to a beginning 2$ NL player is this: - Play strong hands that are better than your opponent's hands. This applies not only preflop, but on the flop, turn, and river. - Focus on getting maximum value when you have a strong hand. This means rarely slowplaying, and betting (and more importantly, raising) large enough to give your opponent poor odds to call. When you have a strong hand, and you're not sure what the best action is, then just press the "bet pot" button. - Never put more than 4% of your bankroll on the line at a given table. If you're learning, your win rate is going to be small and your variance will be large. Account for this by being a bankroll management nit. - Donks make two mistakes in their play. They either call too much, or they bluff too much. And the way you exploit both of these mistakes is by playing very strong hands that are better than theirs. - Use the hand analysis forum here to advance your game. The advice that [I]some members[/I] (not all) give out is exceptionally good, and as good as any poker book you will ever read. [/QUOTE]
