Drive to $100NL (still the same thread)

If not for bonuses, prizes and Rakeback, I'd be done for good. I'm going to slow down and take more time to learn. I need to start a new BR building campaign but based on learning winning poker. I'm basically a losing player if not for those extras that are put in my account. I have some leaks that have been Identified. Some have not I'm sure. I won't post a hand or two,because I don't feel being able to pick my hands to post will do any good, but will let anyone who wants to have a look, give you my most recent session. Pelion already offered to look at last nights 600+ hand debacle, where I flopped 1 set all night and lost $108 on the $25NL tables at Crypto, and will let me know if it's my game or just a bad run. Yes I have run terrible lately, but not for 71K hands and I don't have an upswing of any significance. That downswing is right when I switched to CryptoLogic on Oct. 30th and started clearing monthly bonuses at sun and PokerPlex plus started getting Rakeback.

Update please! Very Happy

As to your problem, that graph chocked me a bit, since I had the impression that you were having succes. I think it would help you if you tightend up alot 23 vpip is a lot, escpecially when you are playing a these stakes where you don't need to play hands to hide your hands. If you cut 5% of this number you won't end up in a lot of tricky situations where you forgot why you even played the hand and get in trouble. Futhermore you will save a ton of bbs limping in with a small chance of winning the pot. Other than that you should start working alot more on blind stealing, that number should be around 30%. Theese two things alone would really add up to your BB/100.

Just tried to find a link to a brilliant post on blind stealing from the 2+2 forum, but I could not find it.

I have actually been spending a lot more time reading about poker. I have tried to stay away from the commune here and a lot of other sites, non poker related. I have had a few sessions since seeing that graph myself. I have spent all my time reading and attempting to be more aggressive, pre and post flop. Last night I had a very up and down night, sticking with the program is hard, I have a lot of bad habits. I had to pull myself away from falling into the same patterns several times, and when I did I get myself back to the black.

A couple quick thoughts. I have a post it note now on my computer telling me 5 things.
1) Don't stack off in unraised pots
2) TP sucks ( I know, Not always, but it helps keep it simple)
3) Position counts more than cards
4) Bet sizing, flop=Pot, turn=3/4, river=1/2
5) Take stabs at bigger pots.

This along with trying to get my PFR% to 3/4 of my VP$P is making a huge difference in putting guys on hands, knowing someone out of position has the goods and lowering the variance generally. I think most of the variance you see last night comes from, guys playing 64sooted OOP and getting lucky And I don't give them that respect of calling two large bets, that they hit the miracle card. Also me reverting back to the limp and call with marginal hands when not getting good hands, and getting involved in pots I shouldn't.

I read an article yesterday on (the other site) that really helped about downswings. I'd link it here, but it's been linked since I read it, It's in one of Renton's posts. If you can't find it, ask and i will link it here.

Kauf, thanks for responding. I choked too. I knew I wasn't winning much but that was a wake up for me. I read the article on blind stealing, alot my problems are stemming from not being aggressive and not recognizing who is to my left and the opportunities to steal. My whole game has been wrong. As for VP$P, at 6max I'm now trying to just make sure I have 3/4 PFR%/VP$P. I have been told I will be OK If I focus on position and my raising. It supposedly won't matter too much if I'm 55/40, 30/22 or 15/12 as long as my AF is 2+ and I keep hammering from better position, as long as I can play well post flop. So we will see if that works.

The big drop in December is when I got paid my Rakeback and had enough with two Crypto monthlies to move up. I took an even bigger beating at £25NL and $50NL. I was so concerned about having the BR, I wasn't checking to see my game was a losing one. I've been able to stay ahead of the losing at $25NL with the amount of hands I play, getting Rakeback and monthly bonuses at several sites.

So here it is in a nutshell. I'm playing too much from UTG and MP. I'm not raising enough from everywhere. I don't re raise enough or check raise enough, with good and mediocre hands. I stab at the pot a lot with C-bets but sometimes In a raised pot with 2 callers, the $1 doesn't do it. I have started really paying attention to stack sizes and the pot size, before EVERY action. I still catch myself throwing out 4BB preflop raises without seeing a caller or two. I still catch myself making $1 bets on the flop when I have raised it up preflop and the pot is $2+. I also catch myself not betting and getting into a check call situation post flop with draws. Let's see how this year finishes out.

Glad your still working on your play despite a few problems! Your plan is sounding very good and wellthought out, if you keep analysing and working on your play like this I won't take you long to beat the shit out of 25NL! I'm afraid that I can't be of any help to your 6-max game as I still enjoy nutcamping FR Very Happy

If I should sum up 3 things to beat 25NL it would be:

1. Agression
2. Position
3. Avoid trouble (Even if it means missing some +EV)

Looking forward to getting more updates now that you are back at playing again Very Happy

Converter sucks I'm sorry. I needed to vent before I go back and play 500 more hands to clear the $100 Bonus left on my account. How do you not kill somebody when this doesn't stop. I'm trying not to let this thread be a bad beat thread but FUCK. It never stops. Thanks for letting me blow some steam. It's not like the wife wants to hear it.

----- SUMMARY -----

Man, those first two! The last one - dude, you slowplayed a great hand and they sucked out on you. It doesn't really belong in the same category. But still - vul.

Next time we're online at the same time, hit me up - maybe I can rail you and we can discuss tactics etc. Bearing in mind that my first 500 hands after coming back from holiday have been at $25/£25 (to get back into the swing) and I'm down about $50...

Thanks, I will try. I really need an experienced eye from these stakes at Crypto. Things don't seem right. i can handle variance but losing hundreds of dollars some weeks is really graining on me and draining the roll fast.

As for the hand I slowplayed. That was a missread. This was a fairly decent sLAG. I had him on JQ or KQ maybe. But I was really more worried he'd hit the FH with a SC and was setting me up for the all in. I was pushing the table around pretty good till that point. I wasn't letting it go, but I wasn't really planning on stacking off to him either. I don't know, maybe I'm just beat in my mind. I lose the feel of hand control for stretches at a time. Thanks.

sorry about that in the chat trainer. my computer was messing up. i'm currently playing $25nl and my bankroll is up to $600 from $0 about a month ago. but my profit from poker is probably about $1500-$2000.
i'm going to move up to $50nl soon. when i reach $900/$1k. but if i drop below $850 i am going to go back to $25nl.
i'm currently playing at PokerRoom.

btw, i just read your AQ hand with a flop of QQ3. and i don't like the slowplay. i think you should have made a raise on the turn. and personally i think i may have even reraised on the flop. but maybe because i play a bit too scared.
your opponent made an interesting play this hand. checkraising his flush draw and then betting the turn. i'm not used to plays like this at PokerRoom. players play flush draws very conservatively there at $25NL. you very rarely see players betting their flush draws like this.

also, why didn't you move down to $25nl when you're bankroll reached $700/$800? or was it a mistake?

I had $1100+ to try the move. I wasn't going to try just two stacks and drop. I gave myself 6 buy ins at 2tabling and it wen't horrible. Alot of getting it in ahead and stacking off. I dropped back to $25Nl at around $800 which is still 32 buy ins at $25NL, so I had a nice cushion still. The rest is just me, I'm an idiot. Tune in tonight on Ventrilo or FTR chat and watch the demise of a $1100 bankroll live.

Well, It's over. I pulled $250 out of Crypto and have $100 left there. I am waiting for my Rakeback and I will pull that too. I have been destroyed on Crypto's 6 max tables while trying to learn to play poker and trying to learn the more aggressive game of 6 max. On Dec. 1st/06 I was at $1100 playing slightly less than break even poker, and have consistantly been fucked, or have fucked up to lose 1/2 my roll. I have had great guys from this site rail me, look at HH's, and spent hours in the chat posting hands to no avail.

It's been said that I have a good game. I just lose focus. Out of the blue I will do stupid things like not letting go of TP to huge aggression, Calling raises with very scary draw heavy boards, and open limping, which I vowed never to do. But when I get into PT and analize all my big hands, there it is again. "LIMP, why the poop did I limp that", scares the hell out of the wife when she hears me yell that at the computer.

The problem seems to be ingrained bad habits. Like a kid that gets his hand slapped for sucking his thumb. Without even knowing it, it's in their again and BAM, he is as suprised it was in there as much as his mother. "I just told you to stop!" I keep getting my hand slapped, I have post its. I know not to just go to the slider bet willy nilly. It matters. But later that night, click $0.25, click $0.50, click $0.75, click $1.00, C-bet. Fuck, that's a $3 pot poopyhead. Why the hell did you C-bet $1 into a $3 pot with 2 callers that checked to you on the button with a draw heavy board?

Ya, I yell at myself a lot.

I need to slow down. Play less tables. I tried that last night with $165 dollars left on Crypto while waiting for my withdrawl to complete. I dumped 2 buy in's in 400 hands playing 2 tables. Cold cards, yep. Bad suckouts, Yep. Were you playing your game, no mistakes." I think so, let me check the PT". Ok hand one, this was bad I had QQ in the CO, 1 limp, I raise to 5BB folds to limper who calls, yep. Flop Kxx two clubs, check, I raise, BAM

Very sad to see this happen. I'll eagerly be awaiting your new drive and hope it goes better for you.

Give 'em hell, TJ!

Trainer, overall looking at your hands your spewing a lot post flop. That 44 hand even though you got bad beaten no way you should've raised the flop, easy fold to the original bet. I'd start looking to tighten up postflop.

I just thought I'd comment even though I haven't made a contribution to this thread yet.

Sorry you're not doing well.

Man this thread is going to be SO awesome when you start winning, are crushing 200+nl and look back and laugh at your graphs. Stick with it man, we're rootin' for you!

TJ, where is the bankroll at these days? As you know, i started one of these threads also, so maybe we can use that as a little motivation to see who can get to $25 first. My BR is sitting at $270 right now, so maybe your way ahead of that, but if not id be interested in a small prop bet. let me know what you think.

oh, and good luck too. keep at it and you will be back at $50nl in no time.

*Last edited by jyms on Fri, 05 Jan 2007, 11:43am; edited 1 time in total*

how about a $20 prop bet to see who can get their BR to $500 first? I dont know exactly how to do this because i will be clearing $50 stars Bonus by next week, and then getting the last $20 Bonus from AP and that will make way for $100 i can cash out in PSO points. Let me know. Im sitting at $270 now, so if you want we can do profits from $10nl cash games only.

So what do you guys think? Full Tilt's FR tables are full of sLAG's, TAG's and HAGG's (hyper-aggressives). Seriously, full of them. Is it worth it to pull the money, lose the $250 match deposit Bonus. I mean I know it's worth it, from a bankroll point of view, but is it a case of if I can't beat these guys and clear that Bonus, how the hell do I beat $50NL. What about moving to 6 max again. I went there for the FR and $10NL tables, but all my games lately (last three months) are all 6max. I bailed on it when I think I was starting to figure it out. I am not comfortable anymore, playing 15/10/1.5. Is stars my future, or ultimatebeat. Yes I said that. Maybe will lok over some sites when i get home. I have accounts with Empire, party, ultimate and Prima.

thanks.

if you have been playing 6max for a while, why not switch back. If you're running 15/10/1.5, then that could be the root of your problem. and i think that i run kinda nitty at 18/14 :wow:. I think the aggression factor might be your problem at the 6max tables. You need to focus more on raising and get away from calling so many raises with easily dominated hands.

No sorry, I mispoke. I can't handle playing those stats now htat I'm at FR. Trying to be nitty. At the 6 max tables I shoot for 2/3 at the minimum, VP$P/PFR%, but try not to dictate my first number until at the table. If I have a table with some donaters, I try to up VP$P number to be involved in more hands with the fish. When the table is playing more aggressive, I will back off and wait for better hands in position to play back at them. i think I will try some six max tonight first and see how it goes. Maybe I will find less nut campers and aggros and actually play some hands to clear the Bonus.

TJ, one thing - players do sometimes differ between sites but by and large, they're all the same, certainly at the low limits. So don't ever allow yourself to say "ah well, it's only cos FT/UB/Crypto players are so laggy/nitty/etc" because it's really not true.

Find a site that gives you the tables you want at times you want, offers good bonuses and rb, and stay there. I am sure my fidelity to Crypto has given me a comfort factor I don't have at other sites - my winrate indicates this is so.

Just to let you know. I've sucked so far in my new rebuilding campaign and prop bet. I spent some time yesterday playing about 1K hands 4 tabling. I was getting killed (-4+ buy-ins) . I stopped and sat in the living room and had a drink. The whole thing was weighing on my mind. Why am I losing so much, there must be something. So I read, here, there (other guys) and my Poker Tracker. I realized I'm an idiot. I lose way to much with TPTK. I don't mean I have QQ and 3 bet preflop and get all in with some idiot just to find he has AA or KK(which both happened last night as well as a Set over set), those are where you should get stacked, if at all.

I have noticed in my recent 2 or so months of learning aggression and betting , I haven't recognised when the other guy has a hand. I am so busy now, trying to stop drawing hands with "not giving odds", that I haven't been able to notice that I'm beat. My focus in the hand is all wrong. I have somehow begun to play just my hand. Not when I'm playing 1 or 2 tables, not when I start playing a session, but usually when I've been playing a bit. When I have 125 or more BB at a couple tables, things feel easy. I get too relaxed. I get so focused on my old leaks and trying to bet properly and be aggressive pre and post flop, I've forgotten to watch them. The stuff that should be automatic isn't, the stuff that requires my thinking and watching is not getting tended to. You guys have told me, I know, even looking back,

This is monday and tuesdays graph. Can you see where abouts I had my AHA moment? i hope this is a sign of things to come. Some bad beats kept me from rising any more than that. I could post hands, but I know what I did. I was so confident yesterday and playing so much better that I actually was playing 8 tables for the last 1K hands. That one bad beataround the 4800 hand mark is posted in the Bode/trainer thread linked above. Without that one hand, I finish the day up 4 buy ins. Turns out I'm up just over 2 for last night. WOW, was it fun again playing poker. I felt "right".

I think that fixing leaks can cause leaks in other places. My game by no means is intact, but I was more weak tight before and never got too involved without a good hand. When trying to add aggression to my 6 max game, I failed to recognize the downfalls of it. Calling stations, fish and even the weak tights and rocks, all will hang around and either hide behind your bets or just be happy to call down with bottom 2 pair or TPTK until you hang yourself. I also stopped C-betting as much, like talked about here in a thread about Sklanskys concept #17 and I read in the book. I added to my flop repetoire (sp) both C/R for bluffs and monsters and C/C for drawing and monsters. Not everytime, just mixing it up, depending on opponents and stacks. This is by no means meant to fool opponents or hide my handsat the $10N level, but I hope to ingrain these new ideas and learn more about them for $25 and $50NL.

The last question remains. What happens if I have a bad night, or just a bad downswing again? I hope I can pull out of it without too many doubts or questions.

TJ -
I've been reading off and on and wishing you well.

Friendly advice: I think you need to play to win. You understand the game well enough. Stop obsessing about leaks and weaknesses. Play whatever game suits your roll and beat it. Pay close attention at 1-2 tables and do whatever it takes to beat your opponents. If that means checking TPGK on the turn oop when you put opp on a flush draw, so be it. Don't even worry about PT so much.
Get your confidence going, win your sidebet and take off from there.

This thread is really long so I didn't read much, but gl on ur drive and prop bet.

lol... min raising is still slowplaying

Hi TJ,
I have been reading this site for over a year now and have followed your progress, through your drive thread.
As someone in a similar position to your self with family, it’s been great for me to see how you have dedicated your self to improving your game, whilst maintaining a balanced family life.
It has made it very clear that I should also be making a commitment to improving my game.
I am by no means as qualified as the regular posters on ftr, but I would like to say through out this thread you have shown a huge improvement in the understanding of your own game.
I am sure your not the first person to have a couple of set backs on the way to success in this game.
I am certain that you achieve your goal and be pwning $50 NL soon.
Good luck
Andy

so I put $300 in Prima, trident to be exact. I forgot what it was like to play on shit software. Computer froze up while setting up my Hud and getting PT to find the HH folder. Have to shut down MSN, other windows and keep them to a minimum. Wow, 4 tabling and not one under 38% vp$p and not one over 9% PFR%. Lost a stack early with set > set, but made it back in due time. Up 1 buy-in in 250 hands. we will see how it goes tonight with a full session. Last time i was a break even player and making money was at Prima (River Belle) so now that I feel my game is on track and has less leaks, maybe I clear the 100%, $200 max, Bonus in due time. Still have $154 unaccounted for, my Rakeback provider (soon to be EX Rakeback provider) is still working on it. I will be ripping into some sites and CS staff as soon as I can account for all my money, about this affiliate links and Rakeback providers. If I can't pick my afffiliate, Fuck'em, I'm moving on to the next skin, next Bonus. I'll come back in 3 months with a new account, new Neteller number and new address with my affiliate. B-Bye.

After reading thru this thread it seems that discipline and focus are your major hurdles. You know what you should be doing, and most likely start out doing it, but then drift back into old habits. I would suggest moving to 1 table (2 at the max), turning off your HuD, and starting each hand with a definite plan. Before each action think about what you are trying to accomplish, and what is the best way to do it.

You may want to change your play up a little bit too. For instance, you don't always have to c-bet when in a heads-up pot. Check behind sometimes, then rep the turn card. You will most likely face fewer check-raises, and fewer check-raise attempts if you don't always throw out the obligatory c-bet.

Most importantly, pay more attention to how your opp's play certain hands. (this is related to turning off your HuD). How do they play monsters, draws, and what constitutes a monster for them. For a lot of players a monster will be TPWK. It will allow you to comfortably felt (or laydown) a wider range of hands if you know what certain actions mean from your opps as opposed to just knowing that they play a certain amount of hands with an aggression factor of X.

+2 buy ins at $20NL. Did I mention how much I like Prima. Good bonuses, bad players, decent amount of tables, plenty of different skins to move to and from and the software...SUCKS. My computer froze up twice yesterday, with PT, PaHud, 4 tables, FTR chat, Vent, MSN and Mozilla all running, it's a nightmare.

Nice Bonus there, 100% match to $200, 250 raked hands@$0.25 = $20. Fairly easy at $20NL ( yea $20NL so $400 BR move up), slow but doable at $10NL if I drop down. Funny thing was I haven't played Prima since Oct, and I had stats on 25% of the players there. Gonna rock out about 1500 hands tonight and see how it goes. Post something tomorrow.

So what's in store for the 1000 post TJ?

::Insert tired, yet still true comment here about stacking off deep with 1 pair::

Nice Jyms, I know it is a small sample size but good to see you on the right track keep improving Very Happy

!

so updated my graph at the top, this is since moving to Prima and depositing my $300 roll, leaving only $154 on Crypto. I will post more about my experience there in the morning.

That trainer jyms, he's so hot right now!!

She's a cold hearted bitch, I'm going to divorce her. I don't want her in my life anymore. She just got her settlement. Here it is. -$60 on the day. Was down $120 and got it back up to -$35 before the last hand. Oh well, I was due.

When variance is goot to you, you love her, you talk to her, you become emotional. But when you forget to do something, and she comes home in a bad mood, walk softly, slouch and go to bed. Don't even attempt to reconcile that night. Bring her flowers tomorrow.

941 hands, my smallest session in weeks. good night.
