My results of grinding 2NL 5NL 10NL 25NL 50NL 100NL
Hello everyone, I want to share with you my 20 days result with 50$ deposit on GGpoker
2NL was awful, after like 15k hand
Played 3,8k hands today, lowered my VPIP from 19% to 15%, lowered my 3bet from 16% to 10%, surprisingly rake was lowered by a lot, now it's 15BB per 100 hand (previously it was 21BB)
Won over 300$, I feel like apex predator of NL25 9max deep ante games
Bankroll is now 1.2k$ but this time i won't be dumb to take shots at NL50, i will withdraw 240$ to my bank account and let the bankroll grow slowly while i'm full benefiting from winnings
This is how i lose 200BB stacks, greediness

Hey nice thread man.
Im grinding NL25 and NL50 mostly zoom at GG. Started playing a bit more regular tables now.
Your toughts on regular vs zoom? I see a lot more fishes, shortstacks and bad play at regular (6 max, havent tried 9max) But I do enjoy zoom format so much! 😀 Maybe ill look into the 9max tables.
Hey nice thread man.
Im grinding NL25 and NL50 mostly zoom at GG. Started playing a bit more regular tables now.
Your toughts on regular vs zoom? I see a lot more fishes, shortstacks and bad play at regular (6 max, havent tried 9max) But I do enjoy zoom format so much! 😀 Maybe ill look into the 9max tables.
When i play 9max i have 9 tables open at the same time while i can watch youtube/twitch and do other tasks too, when i play zoom i have 4 tables open and i need to be focused, i have no time to do other tasks, little stressful i think, not my style
Also zoom winrate always will be lower than regular tables but sure you can play more hands per hour, in my opinion if you want to be a big winner in zoom you need to master exploitative poker, people are tend to fold more often and somehow if you exploit this your red lane can sky rocket, if i was zoom regular definitely i would work on my redlane, i think thats where most of the dead money is in zoom.
Personally i prefer regular tables because i can play vs fish mainly, i have option to choose tables where there is at least one fish and leave table when there is no fish left on the table, winning poker is all about playing vs recreational players i believe, these days regular players are so careful, even if they make mistakes, feels like they playing style "i won't win but you neither" so for me is no point to stay in a table with no fish and full of regs, sure i can battle them and win but in the long run thats a waste of time
Played around 3k hands today, first half i was big winner but than everything went bad
Bankroll now: 671$
Played only 850 hand today, little exhausted from previous day, going to rest well and will eat good food
Bankroll is at 815$ now
I could win 100$ more as usual but need to work on my mental game of poker and make some adjustments in my game
1. Even if opponent has high 3bet% and seems like he's raising me with weak hands i need to control myself and just fold and find better moment to catch him, no need to fight regs
2. Even in situations where clearly I'm out of luck I need to be more careful to not lose big pots, it's very important to not lose big pots
3. If 2 players called my CBET on flop i need to slow down even if i flopped top pair, more pot controlling by checking and even folding if one of them go crazy with big bets
4. Need to remove some suited connectors from early position ranges and lower overall 3bet% and VPIPI, this way i get lesser rake and for 9max my ranges will be a bit stronger if i get raised
Today played 2,7k hands of NL25 9 max ante games, rake was 18.6BB per 100 hand (3bet 14% still very high, need to lower it to 10% somehow so rake will drop down to 14-15BB)
Bankroll is now 1,022$, will withdraw 200$
Current bankroll after todays money withdrawal: 822$
Total money withdrawn since 18 January 2024: 940$
Here is one hand when i folded KK postflop, i'm getting better with folds

Not the best day, bankroll down to 500$, will play some NL10 until 600$+
It took 1,3k hands of NL10 to get back to 600$ bankroll, rake was whooping 22BB per 100 hand lol
Even tho i withdrawn 940$ last 9 days, main thing here is that i never deposited money since first 50$ deposit i made, imo this is good approach for now, if my bankroll goes down i move down stakes, if my bankroll goes up i withdraw more funds
Now will play some NL25 hopefully to go up 800$+ and again will start withdrawing some funds which i will save and maybe will play some live poker too while grinding online.
I had bad NL25 session where i lost 800BB pot
Moved down to NL10 played 800 hands, won 40$
I was gonna end the session and play NL25 but i told myself to stay 5min more and during this 5min i got BBJ lol too bad it was NL10, ofc i have no luck i play tons of hands of NL25 and just few hands of NL10 and i win BBJs in NL10

Bless GG
UPDATE: Just checked my balance has +120$ lol blessings continue
Got it from todays #ThanksGG Flipout, i wasn't expecting to place in the money at all because i had only 60k chips lol usually i have around 150-220k chips when i play a lot
That's why I'm saying even tho GG has highest rake i think it has also highest rakeback overall, i mean not only pure rakeback but leaderboards, flipouts and everything combined can give at least 10BB per 100 hand
Played 1,3k hands of NL25 today +170$
I had rake under 14-15BB per 100 hand for the first time as i decreased my 3BET under 8-10% but red line went down hmmm
Bankroll now
will withdraw 300$
Current bankroll after todays money withdrawal: 805$
Total money withdrawn since 18 January 2024: 1,240$
Not bad, I'm happy with my result so far, considering playing micro stakes, 11 days +1240$ in my pocket and bankroll is still 800+$, yet not taking shots at 50NL, gonna continue playing NL25
Today played vs one of the top regs of NL25 full ring
His name is "proFuriouS50" according to statname he is #2 in rankings, his result is insane, 8BB winrate after 250k hands, it's like he's printing money because even if you are -8BB loser you still win by rakeback in GG as you get +10BB from all other benefits
OK here i really had him crushed, he hit that 3 outer on the river and he choose to run once, i had mental breakdown after this hand, really

Bankroll now:
Will withdraw 200$ and leave bankroll at: 953$
Total money withdrawn since 18 January 2024: 1,440$
Maybe from now on i will mix up 25NL and 50NL but will open NL50 only when there will be juicy fish on the table
BTW for the first time rake was as low as 13.69BB per 100 hand because i dropped my 3bet at 7.4% and when i checked all top regs had 3bet at 7% range maybe this is the key to optimally decrease rake
Tried mixing up NL25 and NL50 but no luck so far
Bankroll down to 841$
Keep up the grind! Why did you limp min-raise AA 200bb deep?
How many hands do you play per hour when you play 9 tables? Is it about 60 hands per table 540 hands per hour all up ?
This thread was a nice read. GL man
Thanks mate
If i min-raise with AA it's because i believe that it's high chance villain will fold if i raise more and i don't want to lose value, it depends on villain and his raise size/position, also i know myself im capable of folding AA postflop if i feel pot is going out of control so it's no problem for me to play it like this 200BB deep

On paper it says 550 hands per hour 9 table yes but in practice for me it's around 440-450 hands per hour because i often close tables when fish goes busto and register waiting list to new juicy table so i lose some hands per hour but quality is better
Thanks man
These days i wasn't playing actively, spent some days in lab, tested new strategies, wasn't playing my usual style, lost some but in the end i got back to my style + improved it, now i believe i'm better version of myself and i can win more
Also good news is that GG added 200NL and 500NL to 9max tables, before it was max 100NL so for future plans i can aim higher
Bankroll is 810$ atm will play some more NL25 these days
What website is that you use to see player rankings and win rate ? Are you RegCrusherrrr on GG BTW?
Today i played terrible, couldn't play worse basically
Wall of shame:

Golden rule never bluff a fish and preferably never bluff big in multiway pots but this "check check check" really got me, they checked 3 times with the nuts and i turned JJ into a bluff to make them fold A or K but ran into quad queens, -200BB shame shame shame

Here a passive fish stacks me, what a shame... usually i feel when they flop sets and i make big folds but this time i made myself believe he was raising with flush draw but that fish had so passive stats it's really unlikely he would ever raise with a draw, it was easy fold for me, shame i couldn't think logically out of tilt

After those hands i lose some medium pots, every time i flopped A pair someone had two pair or something that beats me, then i had AA vs fish who had QQ, preflop allin we ran twice and it was a split, i couldn't even win that lol
This is when i get confident with my game even tho i had worst session my bankroll is still around 700$ (with added rakeback) and not losing much
