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
idk what is this nightmare during first 1k hands
Everything in gg software is like childrens games bcz its built to attract casino players.
Play 5 hands and lose few pots and it says oh running cold. Oh running hot.
I just had 3 way app game where played 100 hands my 3-bet was 0.
Is that my real 3-bet , probably not.

Yea i don’t like GG hud it’s not very accurate but rush has more sample like 1k+ hands on average since hands played more faster than other formats, there is no other option so i have to make decisions based on that anyway
We were talking about GG fishes aren't actually real fishes, here is the example, a fish with extremely high VPIP folds top two pair to river shove
Nit-Fish
Maybe i should have folded both rivers
I wouldn't be surprised if most of GG's players were bots tbh.
I mean if they can run bots at mid stakes why they can't run at micros? it's easier to beat pool compared to mid stakes and less noticeable especially in Rush pools
When i first started NL25 Rush i was double barreling a lot, it was working wonders, pool was folding to double barrels and my redline was moving up nonstop, i was double barreling more and more, i know it wasn't balanced but i thought i could get away with it
Next day suddenly everyone started to call down my two barrels light and my redline started to move down rapidly, first feeling i had was like either majority of pool are bots and owner added my name to the list so bots adapt to my play or either majority pool are players who know each other and they together all made same notes on me
Maybe i played at times where pool was stripped to tough regs, i have doubts till this day, i changed my game strategy many times
Today first half was terrible, i made comeback in the end, i think my strategy is ready for NL25 but i need to test it little bit more at NL10
OK i played 500 more hand and what I'm going through is just unbelievable
idk i don't want this variance at all, it's like im doing my best and something powerful pulling me down without my will, not sure anymore if i should continue playing like this or change something
Hi blazar,
we don't know each other so I hope it's not too offensive.
Checking the graph regularly after 2k hands or even 500 hands later I can just imagine how hard it must be for you with the mental aspects of the game. That would be my first mission: to get mental clarity why you are so results orientated (maybe afraid of losing? lack of confidence in your ability as a player? etc) Maybe it would also be helpful to get a mentor/coach who can identify your technical leaks and teach you simple strategies.
Why are you playing Poker and what are your goal(s)?

I’m results oriented maybe because i just want to move up fast
I’m too confident with my game now and when i see i get big variance hit i feel its unfair, from last 4 hands i should have won at least 1, it’s totally insane i lost all of them
I realize that i have no will to continue playing today because it will take me few more hours to make another comeback, how many comebacks i must make per day, usually i can play 5k+ hand per day easy mode but now i have no will to continue after just 2.5k hands i better go play Hearthstone or something lol
Why am i playing poker and whats my goal? same as everyone: to success and grind to higher stakes, make a living of it and have better quality life
Alright, thanks for the explanation. Variance has many faces, maybe you got lucky in terms of card distribution over the last 500 hands like getting dealt many premium hands preflop and lucky that your opponents have had a hand to call with etc. What are saying now? Will you still bitching around if you get dealt AA 3 times in a row? Probably not, you'll sit there smiling and don't even understand you lucky you are.
When I see the 4 hands you posted (without explaining your thoughts/actions) you should def not be too confident with your game. I don't even understand how you can be that confident because 1 year ago when started the thread you posted hands from NL100 and now you playing NL10. If you have cashed out all those winnings than I take my words back and you might be a good player (have not read the thread)
I like your ambitious goals and wish you best of luck reaching them. But I disagree with the "everyone" part of it. Without a doubt there are players that don't play for being succesfull w/e. They play for fun. They deposit $100 like they would do it to play slots and then they sit down at your table knowing deep inside that at the end of the session the money is gone but in between they want to see flops, sweating all-ins and stuff like this.

I’m not perfect, sometimes i will be wrong, sometimes i will be right, in this blog there will be ups and downs, failures, emotions, mistakes, struggles but journey continues and hopefully there will be a big success soon
NL10 or NL100 is less important atm if i find success with my game strategy i believe moving up will be rapidly fast and hopefully ill bypass even NL100 to close this thread and open new one with the name NL200+ hehe

Lol mate you have no idea what variance really is.
Ok imagine you’re in a great mood, just started a session, some guys decided to 4bet or 3betOOP with hands like QTs 98s and you call both of the time they ended up turning two pair or rivering a gutshot and got river shoved, then you go preflop allin with KK vs AA and AK vs 66 lose both time AA vs JJ he flops a set -100 -100 -100 -100 -100 then a fish folds top two pair to a shove he has only 60BB behind and this happens during first 1k hands where not much positivity happened except this because its Rush and pool folds most of the time
Your mood no longer in good shape right?
Somehow you manage to make come back slowly and gradually during next 1k hands, now you have 2k hands played when you flop a set bet 75% pot flop and villain calls with air, he calls turn overbet with gutshot and when you think hell no way he has a straight you shove the river ending up losing because the guy miraculously rivered a straight then a guy calls 11BB OOP3bet with JTs flopping a flush vs KK, right after you go preflop all in AK vs JJ run it twice and lose both of the time, someone calls OOP 3bet you make pair on flop with AQ and villain calls cbet turn brings him a set and this happens during next 500 hands -100 -100 -100 -100
Now tell me if this isn’t variance, how unfair things can get?
Maybe you’re right its not variance, just maybe rigged system by AI coded into GG system which makes sure those weak guys never go broke and they keep playing all the time
But i don’t really want long discussions about subjects like this, i posted it, happened what happened, tomorrow is better day lets move on
so lets say tomorrow ur the guy having AA vs AK , KK vs QQ, etc. all those pre-flop hands going ur way and you win 10 buy-ins , you will be super happy
day after tomorrow its the opposite again you will be super sad / tilted etc.
its rare to not be affected at all but its really important area to work on to not care about the result which u mostly can not really influence otherwise ur mood and life is just ur poker swings, lol which is not a very good place in long term
the way to work on it is u open up ur mind and face the uncomfortable truth step by step like asking questions such as is this really worth it to let it ruin my day that the fish rivered quads? etc.
then slowly u will have more acceptance
YOU NEED TO BE A ROBOT DUDE.
Also cold 4ball the queens.
Considering how wonderful day was yesterday today's start promises a lot, another great 2 pair fold
