My results of grinding 2NL 5NL 10NL 25NL 50NL 100NL

Who are these fish betting? 😆

Win 3.33 buy-ins in 2 days. With rakeback / jackpots (which I believe you said are counted) then you need to win even less!

I guess my bets are more competitive than the others, that's why people are betting, others tend to make challenges that are obviously too good for them like they make long timelines and stuff like that, my bets are never guaranteed win for anyone, one little downswing and 2 days aren't enough to come back from deep hole so all they need is to win 50% of times to breakeven so they think it's a good bet. Obviously I'm making bets that i think i have an edge.

Won so fast lul

What a beautiful graph, up 650$ without rakeback

lol....EZ game.

You should just probably keep grinding these games for now and do the prop bets for some extra cash on the side as a little top-up. Seems like printing money.

So let me explain my thought process in that hand, that player actually isn’t a fish, it’s a reg who has “limping range” there was a time in the past when i had a limping range myself too so i understand all that stuff.

Basically in that hand he failed to represent a hand, his raise made no sense at all, knowing that villain, a pair of JACKS must be a limp-raise, not a limp-call and only hand he’s actually representing is 22 but i refuse to believe he has 22 as his position is UTG and also knowing that villain’s tendencies i just don’t buy that, these regs sometimes think that a board texture and a raise is good enough to “look strong” and they think why not to do it if population overfolds but the fact is they often fail to represent a hand lol

Lol nice one blazar, sun running!

Sometimes following logic and gut feeling NOT enough, actually you need to be able to beat a bluff, these stupid fishes make me sick lol

Now you're just making hero calls for the thread 😆

Not playing today tho, this hand was from yesterday’s session. Today felt not in a mood, slept only 4-5 hours.

Next session will be on Saturday. Already made a new bet, 333$ in 2 days again.

The devil is sitting on my left shoulder right now saying: should … i … mix … nl100 … again … on … Saturday … just a little risk … maybe this time i won’t regret

Do it

Yeah i wanna play at a high altitude where these **** regs cant reach me or if they do then each of their mistakes should be costly, no more kindergarten.

Did you have reads on him? This 3-bet looks questionable, and the river call is pretty bad given how many club combos he has. What’s your thought process here? Keep making these calls and you’ll get wrecked.

I noticed one thing in general, often people are judging from their perspective and almost always they’re micro stakes players, well, to say something loud with confident manner at least you should be high stakes reg otherwise it just looks foolish.

Also if you watch top high stakes pros you’ll notice they all have one same thing in common, they all are very calling station like, didn’t you notice that? I noticed yeah and ask yourself why instead of following your current mindset and beliefs because it can be very wrong.

As of this hand, my thought process was simple, again villain fails to represent a hand, me as a 3bettor i have Ax advantage here and I’m blocking a lot of his Ax possibilities, he’s out of position, even if he made small flush he should be checking here or betting smaller with smaller sizing, after his river bet his story no longer makes sense, i refuse to believe he bet lower flushes for value but main thing here isn’t bluff catching, main thing here is taking more hands to SHOWDOWN when villain fails to represent a hand, otherwise you will end up calling turns and folding rivers almost ALWAYS aka getting crushed, ask questions, listen and LEARN my friend instead of making loud statements :p

This coming from a micro stakes player makes this entire post just hilarious.

Well, lets say I'm delusional but in my mind I'm already a high-stakes player who is right now going the hard path at lower limits, who lacks bankroll to play there and some experience too, which will come by time and i will get there. Sure you can say I'm just DELUSIONAL i won't agree or disagree because at the moment I'm not in a position to speak loudly but time will come and it will come very fast, if you want to know what i believe then i believe I'm ALREADY a high stakes player.

That's the spirit.!

On a side note I'm not anymore a micro stakes player, now I'm a LOW stakes player as nl50 considered as low limits, when i mentioned micro stakes players i was referring to players who are playing nl2 nl5 nl10 often they allow themselves to come up with bold and loud statements like they're very confident in what they're saying and this happens already noticeably too often, which is matter of fact bad for them because most of the time they're very wrong and their confident belief in what they do makes them extremely hard to improve.

Well I was like them too, i believed in myself a lot and i did a lot of things wrongly, i wasn't listening to others too but i can say I'm one lucky exception, who got lucky to find a way to get out of that hole but i believe i always had talent in finding ways to success, what i do sometimes might be suboptimal or not very effective but i'm very flexible always changing always trying new things until i find a way, everyone can't be like that, mass population needs to follow simple guidelines and they should do what everyone does aka hire a coach or study solvers like everyone else, everyone wants success but mass population by themselves can't produce a lot of successful players by letting them do whatever they believe or think is right, that's not how success path works for most people.

I wouldn't be as arrogant as you if I was playing 50nl after 16 years of poker. The guy responding to you wasn't wrong when he said you're just clicking buttons in that hand and he plays 25nl, which you played what, 2 months ago?

Enjoy reading the thread, but your arrogance doesn't match your success. Not even close.

In before ''you play microstakes''. I don't.

Let me tell you something, pendejo, when you write something that LOOKS smart doesn't mean it will age well, come back after few months and check my success 😉

BUT even lets say if i stuck here playing nl50 antes which plays 200bb deep basically same as nl100 money wise nowadays it's still good income, 1k$ weekly income can't be considered as too bad.

Matter of fact i know some NL500 regs from OLD golden poker era (yeah i skipped that period, i took break from poker) who were crushing back in the day, NOWADAYS they can't even beat nl25 lol because poker is so different now and it's TOUGH yes, they can't do **** anymore, it's a fact, dios mio, man.

(Well you might not understand my references those "pendejo" and "dios mio man" lines are from the movie The Big Lebowski)

Love how you completely ignore everything and continue to boast your non-existent success. Pendejo, best of luck, you need it.

It's full again, tomorrow we start.
