**Official Micro Stakes Madness 5NL,10NL,25NL Focus Group**

  • Thread starter Thread starter Jurn8
  • Start date Start date
Okay so I'm starting the month at 5NL and I expect myself to make a lot more money here than I did at 2NL... I think I'll wait until 10NL to try a sweat with one of you guys....

In the mean time, I have Pokertracker3 and I'm just not utilizing it completely. It records my wins, and I use it primarily for the HUD. What are some simple ways to start using the database to analyze my play and find basic leaks? I just want a few so I can get my feet wet.

There's so much information I just don't know where to start so what do you guys look for?
 
Hit me up on AIM or MSN, Lik, Id be happy to show you the stats Ive been looking at after sessions.
 
ah ok didnt know that dude thought you had played them before mate.

Lik dont worry about $ profit try to build a nice winrate BB/100 and the money will come in itself mate!
 
half way through my 5k day, going to start the other part ina bout an hour an a half I hope. Going to have a break and make some tea!

Hope all you micro stakes guys are running well
 
Officially requesting to join the group.

I've gone to 10NL to work on my multitabling and HUD reading. 6 tables of FR, 470 hands today.
 
Ok guys, I'm finally jumping in the mix.

Hi all

What an excellent focus group so far.

After 1 year of only tourneys I am jumping on the cash band-wagon.

My main and primary approaches so far are:

5NL
Buy-in for $5
Auto-Rebuy feature turned on if I drop less than $5
4 table FR
Play between 60-90 minutes per day.

Have PT3 but haven't got the HUD working yet, will be on shortly hopefully.

As far as a generic approach is concerned, what are your thoughts. I'm leaning towards super-tight nitty, but I'd rather hear from people beating these limits?

Good to be on board, look forward to hearing all recommendations.

GL to all

Custo I don't think you'll have to play super nitty tbh. That will just slow your progress I think. Play TAG and just play solid, no need for fancy play at these stakes.

Thanks Jag, there is no way I'll try anything fancy at this level, I reckon TAG is certainly my favourite approach for this, just hope to catch some cards and hit some flops.
 
get yourself a sweat with one of the guys, it will help you out big time imo.

welcome aboard nine, where were you at before buddy?

Short stacking $25NL with stabs at $50, then trying to rebuild my full stack game at $25NL but getting alternatively bored playing 2-3 tables, or lost playing 4.


After months of mostly short stacking I feel like I'm not playing well postflop, plus I'm not making proper use of the HUD stats that apply to postflop.
 
cool custo welcome aboard mate, definately play solid TAG and keep it SIMPLE is the only advice i can give you atm. Take all villians at 5nl to value town !

eww shortstacker nine lol glad you made the switch dude, hope you can beat the 100BB game soon.

Beat: I fell short of my 5k target just from being tired and managed 3.7k
Brag: +5 BI day

I have a bucket load of hands to post in the HA section and a ton of blog posts and month reviews etc to do man i do have alot of "admin" poker work to do

You do it to yourself, especially the weekly blog updates or whatever. But tbh it is by far the better approach. Like tons better than my shitty one.
 
Starting my first session in 12 minutes and counting....... very excitement 🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂
 
I'll cross post:
Feb goals for me:
Shipping combined roll into stars, so I can grind 25nl ALL month on a site with constant supply of games and good software. Euro sites+rb is not good enough. I'm trying to study more and get more into HA while also playing more.

I'm going to start off slow and play like 6-8 tables of 25nl since I that is when I'm at my best. Get to grips with my own game and the limit and improve my HUGE leaks.

So you are all invited to ask me for sweats and sweat me in return, I'll be available almost all week nights. (week nights for me starting at 1pm ET for you).

It never hurts, no 🙂
How did the entire sesh go ?
 
Don't forget if you guys/gals are a bit nervous doing sweats, then you can do either a video for review or post someone like 200 hands or something of a session and they can be plugged into either PT3/HEM for review.

I'll have to try this as soon as I get the nerve up.Thank you for pushing me into the abyss😀
 
Bella, I'll help out with either sweat/HH reviews, just let me know.
 
Thanks Jake, I really appreciate you taking the time to read, watch and comment on everything. I should still mention that I'm doing this without a HUD so I'm finding it real hard to get reads on anybody, my eyes are flickering left, right and center trying to remember key elements of session.
