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
gg, coin and wpt global
500, 1k and 2k
higher on wpt global i guess but stakes are weird there
On GG do you mix deep antes too or strictly play 6max?
There is a top reg named Cameron Couch who plays your limits, do you know him?
Lately I'm watching him, i get a chance to see some of his HH's from flipout tourneys (big pots, bad beats etc) some hands are shown there and i see he mixes 9max deep antes NL500 NL1K too, sometimes i think he's so bad at deep antes bro it's unfair that I'm not playing there and he's mixing it lol seriously i think im much better
If i somehow get breakthrough this cursed 100nl I promise I'll totally annihilate every stake above, these fools aren't on my level i swear
I get very similar vibes to Paisting in here, just in terms of delusion level and generally living in your own bubble of beliefs.
Even the writing style is similar.
Not hating, just writing because i think there is hope, because you are winning player and are somewhat self aware of your quirks.
The guy you mentioned was literally considered the best player ever at Stars 500 zoom and of the best midstakes nl guys, he even has a blog here.
You greatly overestimate your skills and you need to be honest with yourself if you want this poker thing to work. GL
Little change to my schedule: first week of the month probably i will play every day to exploit the money flow that comes from monthly salaries etc probably a good idea
So I'm gonna eat now and then fire up some 100nl tables, i don't have much room left to maneuver within bankroll so if i lose few BI i will have to grind back at 50nl

Thanks, gl you too.
Think you're not correct about everyone getting paid at end of month. I get paid in the middle of month and going to be similar for other people. Obviously some people get paid at end of month but there are also many other times over month when people are paid.
You're also playing the wrong hours if you're hoping to meet recs donking off their salary at the tables.
1.8k hands in since yesterday, the game is unfair to us, but we're still gonna crush them.
40min break now

I think it's around 20% who gets paid in the middle of month but high majority maybe 60%+ gets paid in the start of month, no?
It's honestly going to depend. You have people working proper jobs, service industry workers, gig workers and many other types. Different countries and different times of the month.
One thing is for sure though, if you are hoping to be playing against recs who clock off from their 9-5 job then you're playing the wrong hours.
Of course, there are different working patterns but chances are the people you meet at the table during day time hours (unless they are playing with welfare money) are not where the "easy" money comes from.

Forgot to reply on this, i know my skills still not there, i clearly see i need to improve a lot, my skills require improvement in every aspect of the game, just today i noticed how poorly i was able to extract value (for example)
BUT main thing here is THE POTENTIAL, lets say Paisting will never become a winning player, simple the potential isn't there, there is more chance a cow will win a championship in the 100m sprint than Paisting becomes a winning player lol
About myself i can say OUT LOUD that i have THE POTENTIAL to become the best player of my format, not only reach the high stakes but become the best, not 5th best, not 4th best, not 3th best, i mean number one, NUMERO UNO, like Magnus Carlsen is #1 ahead of his competition in CHESS, i truly BELIEVE i have the potential to crush this format where i play to that extent, now you can call me delusion, you're allowed, but i don't care, again GL mate.

Maybe you're right about the playing hours yeah, but whatever, i play at the evenings too.
I really hate tables right now, maybe i will take few hours off and continue playing in the evening

Wouldn't you say that pretty much every human with a >90 iq has the potential to excel at poker? And that those that grind and study non stop are maximizing their potential?

Cameron Couch is Isther11 no? The guy who was crushing 500z when you were looking for quarters on the street.
It's honestly hilarious how ******ed you are.

Sometimes it's counterproductive to ignore your own way and follow other people's advice on how and when to study, everything has it's time.
As for studying solvers, I believe it's too early for me; I need to fully finalize my own strategy first, and then use solvers to further advance it.
The "AHA" moments I'm having on my own right now are things I doubt a solver would teach me. When you don't have your own strategy, you just try to replicate the solver, which is impossible and a waste of time.
you don’t try to replicate solver, you look at solver outputs and you try to understand why it does what it does by looking at response to said output
Anyway let’s get back to reality now, currently i need to beat 100nl and it’s taking already too long
I’m so pissed, now I’m gonna destroy this stupid limit so hard that it would look like I’m beating NL2 guys
You sound totally delusional and everything, and tbh I kinda like your style, but the hands you post... some are really, really bad.
One thing I want to mention though... learning to play without solvers is kinda smart. I feel us old timers who had to learn before the solver age are generally better than the newer-comers, so kind of replicating that scenario is, in my opinion, pretty smart.
Just be ready for a big adjustement to most things you think you know about poker when you finally get into the solver work.
For someone who has played 1000s of hours of live poker 1/2 to 5/10 and 300k+ online hands, IMO in my poker journey the thing that clicked was:
-play a ton of hands, 100k minimum at micros. don't view $ as won or lost, its like buying a degree at Uni
-Have a baseline strategy for the different formats you play, (TAG full ring/laggier SH, etc) This is where the solvers and preflop chart start to really help define your ranges and then that will allow for a cleaner game tree on Flop/Turn/River.
-When playing, quickly identify pros/regs and recs and start at baseline strategy. After seeing a good amount of hands at showdown we can start to deviate from baseline and start making exploits. If its a close spot, folding is probably the better option (curiosity killed the cat)
-Understand your table image/game flow and how to leverage that is of utmost importance. Any given session I kind of let my cards dicate a bit on whether I have opportunities to play snug and wait for value hands against maniacs or exploit other regs trying to iso and 3bet other recs. Its all situational.
Poker is a game of incomplete info but if you put in the work, PAY ATTENTION and do the time, you'll make it out on the other side.
AND AT BASELINE THAT INCLUDES USING SOLVERS AND UNDERSTANDING WHAT THEY WANT TO DO.
and for me baseline is 22/18, clean TAG, tough to make mistakes playing that way. (but i obviously still do, cuz im human and not a robot)
in my younger years i was full on 38/30 lagtard, that sh*t is stressful but sometimes ill bust it out in the right game

Yeah i also think it's a smart move, good to see someone agrees with me. About hands yeah agree some of them are really terrible, probably i should post more hands in the future.
If its a close spot, folding is probably the better option (curiosity killed the cat)
True, like this hand where a clearly very passive player starts raising, then he bets big OTR i know I'm beat but couldn't process as the hand was played what beats me? so curiosity definitely killed the cat here 😃

cameron couch is probably the biggest winner at 1k, guy is a monster
but seriously, next time you want to move up, maybe go for reg tables? The deep tables have gotten worse the past year at 100+ and the regs on reg tables are way weaker on average. Someone playing aggro/run over will print 1.5bi on them before they stack you with a cooler.
There was some eastern euro "pro" streaming 100nl at morning US eastern time a couple weeks ago. Every table had 2 fish and at least 1 or 2 semi regs. Just weak lines over weak lines. The reg himself was really bad, he went to 200 and got torn apart. I watched 5mins here and there and he played like any weaktight player from 15 yrs ago. He still had no idea how to play vs fish while doing this fulltime..
once you're established, stream on youtube until you get the streamer rakeback and voila. The 100-200 regs will never adjust even if they watch you 6hrs a day.

Yeah streamers get a lot of rakeback, it's insane but rarely a good player will stream tbh
Gonna fire up some 100nl tables now, seems reg crowded RN but i wanna play like 1k hands more today for the low tier leaderboard at least
ZzZz volume goes so slow RN tables are so bad but i want to farm some leaderboard points
My game is so sharp idk what they can do to stop me, if i were in their place i would probably run lololol gonna stop for today, tomorrow will play more
roll
I'm gonna withdraw 100$ or 200$ or maybe 300$ now, whatever I don't care because i know I've found the right adjustment from now on I will be making sh*t tons of money, it will be even easier than playing 2NL hahaha
Whats the adjustment
