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
I'm thinking what should i change and how far should i depart from my strategy vs fish, maybe i should just size down with mediocre hands and i can get same fold frequency anyway
Because if fish doesn't like flop he wont call anyway no matter the size, even if i bet 1BB, if fish likes his hand or he's on a draw he will call anyway no matter how much i bet
So this way i can manipulate, i can increase sizing dramatically with nutty hands and they not even notice what im doing to them, betting really
Also i can add up:
1. Weak hands (bet really small)
2. Strong overpairs or TPTK kind of hands bluff catch, bet check bet (because we don't want to get stacked off by a fish who suddenly makes 2 pairs or better)
3. Nutty hands (go really big 3 streets)

Remember that sometimes when you have nutty hand and if hes a agressive fish, its some time best to give him rope so he maybe start bluffin.
Givin rope on turns is very powerful weapon against agressive players. They often think than cos y didnt bet the turn, you shouldn have anything nuts atleast.
I watched this guy who was supposed to be a HS player (daniil__vasilev). He didn't beat NL100R&C and it looks like he won't beat NL50 in GG either.
I think GG poker has a tough level even at low stakes. I don't know where he plays Highstakes but he's definitely not a crusher in GG.

If i bet like pot size on turn maybe those aggro fishes will jam on me because they hate to lose pots anyway or i can check OOP to trap but i see no point checking back IP with nutty hands

This guy is GG top 10 in all time money list according to statname, he's definitely a top reg but players nowadays underestimate micro/low limits on GG and how hard is to beat it, rake is absurdly high but not only rake also many people cheat i believe, they use RTA, there are many bots in the pool too, also regs on these stakes playing for a living from countries where living is cheap, they just don't give much money, they prefer to just grind leaderboard and bonuses and not take much risks
Also i was following Stefan Burakov lately, well he got broke and made group called Signum Club, he teaches poker now and charges 100$ monthly i believe they have telegram group and they're actively promoting to teach poker, they even offer MTT players to move to cash games, imo this is very bad, we don't need more regs in online poker, we need more fish, the last thing we need Stefan to make an army of regs and teach poker, online poker is becoming a shithole

Why play on GG then? There are a lot of better alternatives unless your country only has GGPoker
What do you mean by that? What was the evidence for him not beating it? Did he show results?
He's actually right, Daniil was streaming on twitch, each his stream was like at least 4-5h+ long and he's doing it already for weeks
To roughly guess maybe he played already 20k hands on NL50 RnC and down -500$ before RB, -500$ was on his prop bet bankroll challenge last time i checked but im not surprised, people usually overate top regs and underrate GG RnC
Those top regs play low rake games with table select vs preferred lineups, once Linus said in an interview that it's hard to get to high stakes but once you get there it's easy to stay

I was playing on Pokerstars before GG go viral, when i came back to poker i found out that it was banned on my country and went to GG, stayed there since then and i just want to beat it at this point, im too competitive i dont want to change sites now even if its hard, also GG is top site and sooner or later all ways go to Rome and gladiators will fight in the colosseum

It's unlikely that it's gone bankrupt now. hess already made millions in poker.
He gone bankrupt because someone stole like 4m$ from his crypto account, it's well known story, i watched his stream on youtube where he was playing HU tourney and when he lost he said he has no money left for food and he owes 2k$ to avrora so probably avrora offered him to make poker club and charge 100$ monthly fee for people who want to be part of it and they're making money that way now

Against some players its +EV to check back IP nutted hands- if villain is enough agro. Point is that if you Bet Big on FLOP and start betting too big on turn. Villain may start foldin too much. When you give him rope he start turning many missed hands bluff on river cos he thinks that you have nothin

Iknow this is not what solvers do. I think this propably not workin everyone. I play agressive and creative so i have different exploits than most "balanced or gto proved players"

Luckily, wit his skills are no problem because he can grind out new millions if he keeps his toughts together after that robbery.
Still doing some off-table work, added strategy vs fish and strategy vs river jams to the list
Strategy vs river jams i think i need vs regs, some good regs especially at higher limits after NL100 i believe they have some bluffs that we never expect, like they jam with nut blockers and we assume they really have us beat
It’s really annoying to even think i will allow them to run me over when i move up the limits so i will come up with balanced calling strategy with randomization vs that type of good regs
And vs bad regs there will be over folding strategy vs their river jams if i know the reg is under bluffing with it but im not in a hurry with those strategies i don’t need them right now

Next step is memorization before i start to play, i want to leave no choice to my brain except memorizing it
I wrote down every strategy on the papers, good old way to memorize but it’s still not enough, i wrote down questions like a quiz, which i have to read and answer correctly
I was never good at memorizing so if you have any techniques feel free to suggest

I've heard someone say that when you do something 10,000 reps, you remember it.

If some of the different strategies are very similar, learn one of them really well and only remember which spots are similar so you know where you can apply pretty much the same. If you need to remember what combos do, try coming up with good heuristics instead of pure memorization of combos. Like "SRP: I can't go wrong by raising as weak as a pure backdoor draw vs a small bet because I'll have strong as well as thin value raises. But OTT I need to shut down almost everything that doesn't have equity because my turn value range is very narrow since I'm checking my thin flop raises now"
Little update:
Strategy is ready, memorizing process going well, 60-70% done, just need a little bit more to memorize (mainly 3bet pots) after that i will start playing and cement it more during the process
Haven't played past 2 weeks i think it's good to take 1 or 2 week rest once in a while to refresh mind
Bitcoin update:
Converted all my cryptos to 6k$ (USDT) i have to decide, i think i have 2 choices
1. Wait for 25% drop of cryptos and buy again (i think it will happen very soon) and sell it all again on 15-20 dec after that withdraw all and use it for live bankroll (a little bit risky plan)
2. Just forget crypto now, withdraw all 6k$ and use it for live bankroll (Risk free plan)
All my cryptos that i sold dropping like wow i think i made a right decision
Perfect time to buy back in! Get more crypto for the same amount of money. #winning
