Message: [QUOTE="Pascal-lf, post: 1625203, member: 65870"] 2NL cash will be the best to play if you want to reduce variance. Play with 100BB, not shorter. At some point you will have to realise that variance is simply a natural part of poker, and the whole idea of BRM is to offset the effects of variance as much as possible, allowing you to ride out downswings. Tournaments, especially micros, will be huge variance, as will turbo SnGs. Some tips for 2NL: - Don't bluff too much against unknowns - identify those who love to peel flops weak then fold turns, and those who love to just call down, and make notes. - Use a HUD and adjust according to opponents. Be willing to stack off much lighter preflop against crazy people (AQ+, TT+ for example), of which there are many. - Raise to 4x or 5x pre with big hands - Against people who fold too much preflop or play fit or fold postflop, hammer the hell out of them with small raises pre or small bluffs on the flop [/QUOTE]
