Don't worry about it. Moving down is a major skill required to be able to move up.

I moved down from 50nl to 25nl 1 time, and i moved down from 100nl to 50nl 1 time too ... it's something everyone should indeed acquire as a skill. It happens, no biggie.

Well its official...im moving back down to 10nl .
kinda sucks but w/e,just gonna grind a shitload and hopefully i can take another shot in a week or so.
Didnt really play alot of hands at 25nl but nothing really seemed to work out for me there.
Bunch of coolers,few set over sets and some FPS(i know...lol at 25nl) followed by tilt meens down i go.
but im a br nit and im no longer rolled for it so what can u do.....

Nice discipline Sindri, good that you have the discipline to move up and down. I hope things turn around for you buddy and once again great discipline and BRM!

 

[eNTy]

I like my hourly rate .
Went on a full tilt 25nl 6max table and doubled my roll on the first hand with A7os, then of course insta left..

Now I have enough to cover the rest of the team events

As strange as it may sound i have a easyer time moving down then up.
When im moving down i know im better then most of the regs and i know i will beat that limit with out to much trouble.
But when im mofing up i start losing confidence cause i dont know if im better then these regs and the bigger pots make me fell bad.
I know this is a potential mayor leak and if been re-reading the Poker Minsdset but i still think lack of confidence is the biggest reason for my failure at 25nl this time around.

thx for the good wises ate ;D;D

disclaimers: im drunk kD

Do you always raise 75c on btn jurn ?
Do you think you get called less/more then when you bet $1 ? What about 50c ?

 

[Jurn8]

3x unopened OTB and SB.

No I think its just as effective but I think minraising to 50c will not be as effective because people would think **** it I will call its only a min raise.

However I 4x + 1 BB per limper as standard when ISO raising or when I have a hand which I want to be raising in late.

I just saves you 1BB but all those BB add up.

 

[eNTy]

Yeah I do the same but I make it 4x from the btn too.

The philosophy is the smaller u make it the less % of time it has to work to be profitable but the smaller you make it the more postflop skillz you need to have to outplay your opponents who will be calling more.

And I don't have any..

WOWOWOWOWOOWw

Warning: I suck, about to bitch.

What happened:

A nitty reg "xxOMGBentleyxx" (take out the xx) hit three straight heaters against me all for stacks. I tilted big time. BIG time. I've never punched my wall but i damn near came close. This guy is a 13/9/3 massive multitabler I regularly own.

Not getting into the hands, too pissed off to do so. Ran $150 below ev again for this session. Yay. So taking a few days off, way too tilted to continue.

 

[WVHillbilly]

Remember that we shouldn't mind getting calls from either blind when we're on the button. So raising more to "get them to fold" just means that we lose more when they do play back and we discourage calls from hands that might call 3x and give up when they don't improve on the flop. Stealing 1.5bbs is good, but stealing 3.5bbs on the flop is often better.

 

[eNTy]

Obv you need to punch your wall and post pics of wall and hand.

6max vs FR below
Sample size is not important imo

That's what I mean with postflop skills.
I'll often take it down with a cbet I know.

But I think you're gonna have to do that and more on later streets a lot more often when you're raising smaller and especially when minraising right.
Plus I'm probably way too aggressive as it is postflop anyway

I am seriously feeling like withdrawing my whole bankroll before I lose any more of it...

Running like 15 buyins below EV this month.

I'm doing fantastic finding crazy idiot fish. I'm doing great at getting my bloody money in while ahead. I simply am not winning anything... I'm 1 for my last 10 in 80/20 situations. I'm seriously not kidding, I'm expecting to lose these type of hands right now.

tilting so bad right now I don't know which way is up...

Calling it a night and about to get very drunk.

/sorry for the rant, i needed to vent badly.

 

[gamedemon]

Super-swingy day today... Was up over $100 early, then had my Aces cracked twice in less than 50 hands... But have crawled back to the positives and a decent BB/100 rate...
