Micro stakes grinding

No way I make 700 hands tonight. Guests showed up and spent time with them. Played a few hands but not into it, made 39 cents. Gonna call it a night at the tables. Will just scroll through the threads and get ready for this weeks FTR freeroll on Stars. My bankroll could use the padding.

Ok, today is the day I will hit 700 hands. I just knocked out a seesion of almost 140 hands. Roll is up to $47.18.

During current Hold'em session you were dealt 137 hands and saw flop:
- 10 out of 16 times while in big blind (62%)
- 8 out of 17 times while in small blind (47%)
- 21 out of 104 times in other positions (20%)
- a total of 39 out of 137 (28%)
Pots won at showdown - 7 of 8 (87%)
Pots won without showdown - 8

As u can see I've played a solid session. There is just one lay down I made that is sticking with me. The opponent is loose-passive preflop but very aggressive post flop. Remember I buy in for $3 now.

He coulds have had AQ or JT. 89 was in his range. During my time at the table he won most of his showdowns and always had good hands, even though he overbet them IMO. At the time I felt good about the fold (used entire decision clock), but then I started to wonder if it was a weak play by FTR standards.

Anyway, just a break. Hope I can hit $50 today.

These dollar donkeys are getting on my last nerve. 2NL players know them. Buy in for $1 and it's an all in fest. Like roaches they are overrunnung the tables. I keep having to change tables this session b/c of them. They just cost me a sweet pot. I had 44 in the BB but 3 of them go all in (not a raise-reraise all in, just all in into a $0.03 pot). Of course I can't call since best case I'm looking at 4-6 overcards. Would have flopped my set and cleaned up. Lord I can't wait till my roll can handle 5NL. Gotta take a break cause I'm pissed. Idiots!

nibbles, if you had called the flop would have been different. (not a joke post) Plus, these types of players are at all limits.

Nice edits. I made the correct play, be satisfied with that. Wasn't a whine, though. Justa short piece on table selecttion. Smile

Fell asleep at the table last night. Not good as one should stop playing when tired. Anyway, no damage done. Finished with just over 500 hands for the day. Roll is $47.77 and glad I didn't hurt my roll while dozing off. Looking forward to this afternoon's session.

Small pot poker'd my way to the $50 mark, but my set of 7's (pocket pair) got rundown by a str8 chaser. Anyway, after 154 hands and a rundown, I am taking a breather. Roll sits at $48.80.

BTW, how many of you would call MP1 here. He was really loose, in pots till the river whenever he got involved, and always bet when opponents show weakness. CO on the other hand was very solid. Should I have fired 2nd bullet on turn? I really thought about calling MP1 on river b/c he is so active and the bet was so weak, but was worried about CO.

I'm done with ring games for the day. my KK ran into AA and got felted. I will play 1 $1 SNG, then a 50 cent MTT, and possibly the 25 cent MTT if I get knocked out early. Can't win everyday. Not too long ago my roll dropped down to the low $30's, but I recovered. Normal swings of the game. Roll at $45.80. No stress.

I'm not even gonna play remaining MTTs. Save my money for tomorrow. In my SNG my KK ran into AA again!!! That has got to be a sign. Gotta be. I wasn't pissed b4, but now I am fully on tilt. If I kept playing now I'd pretty much be throwing it away. Till tomorrow.

I read a few other threads and I realize I focus too much on my bankroll. I am only down 1 buy in after over 200 hands of play. I am being extremely unreasonable with unrealistic expectations. Losing is a fact of playing poker. One has to lose, period and I need to deal with it better. I am not the only person this type of things happen to, and for others it is usually for a whole lot more money. I feel better now and am about to enter another ring game. Play my game and deal with the outcome. No more cry baby bullcrap.

Ahhh.... You have just matured as a poker player with that last post nibbles. It took me losing damn near my entire roll to realize what you have. Now, I don't tilt for ANYTHING unless I get a BUNCH of RIDICULOUS beats put on me, at which point I go to youtube and watch funny vids lol.

I AM DEAD SERIOUS about the Youtube tho lol. After a bad hand last night I went there and watched the video "Never scare a black guy" and "Spiders on Drugs" lol. You should try it sometime. After that I played good poker again.

Good luck at the tables!

Got a lot more hands in last night, but not much success. Roll is at $42.27. I will play only 1 session and 1 buy in today. I will also play the 50 cent MTT. That's it. I will limit my play when running bad.

Dont limit your play when running bad, unless you feel its overly affecting your game. Just suck it up and make sure u get in there and play your a-game (says me whos just a big whinger when im losing lol).
What does help me after a spanking at the tables is to make an effort to study a little. It gives me a lot of confidence to feel that although i lost last time, this session im bringing more to the table.

I like drangers idea as well, so along those lines i submit:
http://failblog.org/

add $9 to your BR

Feeling pretty good. Placing 4th in the FTR freeroll puts my roll at $51.42. Feels good to hit the $50 mark. The sad thing about the freeroll is that a bunch of outsiders cracked the password and jumped in. I was looking forward to mixing it up with rilla and flomo and those guys. Somebody even put up a portion of their bankroll as a bounty for knocking him out of tourney. That would have been a ton of fun. Oh well. I was the last FTR person to be eliminated. I doubt our experienced regs gave their A-game when those freeroll hunters flooded the tourney and started donking it up. U know how they play freerolls. I am soooooo looking forward to the next event. Hopefully they do a better job of password protection, so we can mix it up amongst ourselves and see who's really who!!!

I will end my night on a high note. Woulda been nice taking 1st place, but 4th will hafta do. Good night all!

Played a little poker last night. Played some ring to grind out a buy in for $1MTT, then finished 400+ place for an essential double up. Roll sits at $53.82. About to start a session. Although I really feel like jumping up to $5nl I wont. I now fully understand how crucial it is to have a proper roll for the stakes that you play. And not just from a mathematical standpoint (variance), but mental as well. I stop playing "my game" and revert back to the tight-passive style I used to play when I had a $5 bankroll. Being properly rolled allows me to call the 5xBB raise with 22 even though I missed the last 12 flops with pocket pairs. Proper roll allows me to raise opponents c-bet because I "think" he missed the flop. I now understand the real value of a proper bankroll and how it impacts your play at the table. I know for all you guys it is "no duh" but for me it is "click". I planned on moving up whe I hit $65, but now I think I will make it $90. Boy, do I have a long way to go. Back to the grind.

Played another short ring session to win the buy in for an MTT. Didn't cash for the 1st time in a while. Finished 542 but tourney paid 360. I said no more whining, so I wont even post what happened, but gat damn these players drive me crazy!!! Built up a nice stack too, but anyway. Maybe I should move up to the $2 MTT. At what buy in do you see a noticable difference in MTTs? I noticed that some of the low stake MTTs ($5-$19) they start u off with 3000 chips. That would be a great experience b/c your allowed to play more actual poker.

I'm gonna play a few 10 cents 360 man turbo tourneys and test my luck a little bit. See if I can outluck someone for a change. No more real poker for tonight. I've gotta stop letting other peoples luck bother me. I'm just jealous I guess. But anyway.

What are you jelous of nibbles? to 'outluck' someone you have to have had your money in bad in the first place, is this really something you would like to be doing? This grind is hard but it's more a test of your character and discipline than anything else. You probabally already know by now that poker skill wise, you can pick up what you need to beat 2nl by following these forums and reading for 1-3 days. What you can't pick up by reading is the quality of character and discipline of mind needed to succesfully develop a bankroll, that has to come from within you.

There will always be plenty of excuses for gambling outside of your bankroll, more straight forward opponents, deeper stacks, whatever guise they come in they are all telling you that you need to think again about what it is you're trying to achieve and what the best way to achieve it is.

2nl is not about winning or losing it's about developing the strength of character to grind at one limit for hundreds of hours on end without shuffling around into the myriad of other limits and games that surround you. Without that discipline there can be no success. With the slightest technical nounce and the discipline not to be knocked off track, the winning will take care of itself at 2nl.

But you have to stay focussed and stick to one limit and one game.

^^^Great post Slevin^^^

I think u guys missed my point. It's ok to play poker for fun every now and again. The grind can get to you after a while. So as opposed to playing 25NL or 50NL, I dropped down to ten cent tourneys. $0.10. Dimes. Just to have a little fun. Test my luck. Gambowl a little bit. As long as I'm not risking a significant portion of my roll (which i'm not in these dime tourneys) its kool and the gang. I never said I was going to play outside of my bankroll. I specifically stated I wouldn't. If you are refering to me possibly playing $2 MTTs, my bankroll can handle that.

I finished in 11th place BTW. Won 40 cents. And it was a lot of fun. Will probably play one more. Even though people do it for a living, poker is still a game. Don't lose sight of that. I appreciate your input though.

Wow guys some great advice guys. Goodluck to you nibbles, you will be at 5nl in no time

Yo nibbles where u at? I noticed you haven't posted in almost a week. You haven't gone and donked ur roll of at 25nl like I almost did have ya? Wink

LOL!!! No Dranger. I took a break. Been busy X-mas shopping and all that crap. All done now though. Played a little last night and some more today. My roll is up to $58.99 and I'm feeling fine. I was playing everyday and I see now that it was too much. I got to the point where I was just going through the motions and not playing poker. Not the case now though. Picked off two bluff attempts for big pots today b/c I was paying attention. Breaks are needed. But this weekend I will log hella hours at the tables. I feel recharged. Still grinding!

Good to hear. Keep it up man! I took a break last week after a pretty shitty downswing, but I started playing again Monday and I feel a LOT better about playing again. Hopefully we both break into 5nl around the same time!

Touched the $60 mark twice but couldn't maintain. Roll is down to $54 and change. I am officially on tilt. Suck outs are killing me. It's back to the times of whatever my opponent needs they catch. 1 outers, 2 outers, whatever. Small pot poker my way to profit and then... The inner peace from a week long break negated by a weekend of running bad. Oh well.

Roll is at $57.11. Haven't been playing as much poker due to the season. Nothing to do today so plan on playing a bunch. Last night I had a very good poker experience. I was at a table and my KK went down to AA dropping my stack from $4.50 to $1.53 (I buy in for $3). Of course I got upset, but I didn't leave (which I usually do) and I didn't tilt. I just played my game and grinded back up to 5 bucks. That felt good.

Hope you guys enjoy your holiday season. Happy X-Mas and a Merry New Year!!!

Hey Nibbles it's been awhile since I checked in on ya. Looks like over all you've been doing well. Glad to see the BR growing and sounds like you're growing as well.
Question for ya. How many tables are you playing? I've been experimenting with playing multiple tables and really find it helpful. The problem I was having was I would find myself getting bored (cuz I really try and play TAGG) and then I'd just have to play a hand. I'd end up jumping in with something stupid like J9off OOP or something and just waste money. Well what I'm finding now is when I have 5 or 6 tables going there is always a GOOD hand to play and it makes it so much easier to get away from the marginal ones. So long story short I end up being nice and tight but gettting to play more hands. Now lots of ppl will tell you that you can't learn this way but I disagree. At first I did find that I was just kinda playing like a Jr Bot but after a few sessions I'm now able to keep up with the tables and players just as well as I was when I would only be playing one or two tables.
Just food for thought. Sounds like what you are doing is working so no need to really mess with it.
Well keep up the Good Grind!

Why do you buy in for $3 ???

I would recommend buying in for 100 times the big blind and getting used to that amount.

Whats your screen name on stars cuz im rebuilding my roll and im playing 2NL atm there too.

GL with this OP.

Hey Harley! I only play 1 table at a time. I haven't had success playing more than one table. Boredom isn't an issue for me as I watch a sporting event (MMA kicks ass, Go Giants, pray for the Knicks) or bootleg movies over the internet while I play.

Hey Wesrman. Good luck to you too. Y do I buy in for 3 bucks? I just feel comfortable there. When I started with a $5 bankroll I would buy in for $1.50. When my roll grew I tried buying in for $5 but was uncomfortable as opponents would take advantage of my deep stack and implied odds (I guess). Didn't have much success. I am comfortable at $3.

I played a 300+ hand session tonight/this morning and my roll is at $63.70. It was up to $65 but two times my KK went down. I still feel good about those two losses b/c I recognized my opponents playing habits and minimized my losses. I listed both opponents as tight that wouldn't go past the flop without hands. 1st hand an Ace flopped so easy to get away. Second hand opponent flopped a set, but I had position so when he smooth called my hefty flop bet I just checked the turn and called his river bet. Saved myself alot of chips so feeling good about it. Still not happy with the number of times my big pocket pairs go down though. I play small pot poker for profit but my big PP's go down all too often. If it's just variance then some time in the future I'm gonna go on one helluva run, because I am due!!! Gonna call it a night and try to hit $70 tomorrow.

Nice work man! I've been sick lately (still am actually) but i put in a short session tonight and broke the $40 mark (again). I'm hoping this time I can actually maintain it and get it going in the right direction. Things have been a lil hectic with Christmas and all that but ah well. Now that the holidays are almost over hopefully I'll have some more time to play. Good luck on breaking $70 tomorrow.

But in the future you will be forced to play with 100BB max. So why not start getting used to the bet sizing and what not now???

Get well soon Dranger. Sick during the holidays sucks testes. Can't even use a sick day.

Wesrman, thanks for the info. I really had no idea players were limited to 100 BB at the higher stakes. I just sat down at an empty 25NL table and noticed the max buy in. I feel so foolish!!! As much reading as I've done on this site I never picked that up. LOL! I've never played those stakes online. In Atlantic City casinos you can buy in for $300 at the $1/$2 NL tables. So I thought the 100BB thing was a recommendation and not a limitation. I guess I'm just one of those hard heads that needs everything S P E L L E D out for them. Smile

I'll take your good advice, and thanks again. I feel so silly.

I really have no idea how I'm turning a profit. Luckboxes have so much success against me. These guys are re-raising me to catch their runner-runner to beat me. It's like they are psychic and predict that both cards they need are coming. Small pot pokered my way to almost $69 (hours of grinding), finally catch my monster hands and luckboxes suck me down. Roll is at $64.35. I should have just left the damn table. I'm taking a break now to cool off. I now that it happens to everyone, but it happens to me all the time, no exaggeration. It is almost like I'm being set up. Grind, grind, grind, ok. Here Nibbles. Here is your monster hand... haha, didn't hold up. And it's not an obvious draw that you might get away from. No sir. It is a "how did you call my flop and turn bets" one outer or runner-runner. Anyway, screw it!

Gonna play the 50 cent MTT. Haven't played a MTT in a short while. Still looking for that final table (FTR freeroll doesn't count as there were only 100+ people playing).

Just got knocked out of MTT. Finished 415 outta 2400+, finished ITM. Can't win races in crunch time. PP doesn't hold up and Big Slick misses. Oh well.

Sup3rman, yes I live in Brooklyn. U from/live in NYC?

People have been telling me I should multi-table, but I will wait until my roll is bigger and I have a firmer grasp of the game. Playing one table at a time really doesn't bother me.

I live in Queens. Good to see fellow New Yorker around the forums. Surprised

)

I think doing one table at a time and watching tv/movies will slow down how fast you will grow as a player. That extra attention can easily go towards a second table. It's not if one table at a time doesn't bother you its more like does doing more tables bother you or not. If not, I would really suggest adding more tables. If it bothers you too much with your roll then by all means wait until you are more comfortable.

As you have probably heard a million times, poker is a game of good decision making for the long run. At first that concept seems easy to grasp but how each decision is right or wrong based on "long term" play is not something someone can understand until putting in many hands.

So how old are you? In school or anything? If so, which one?

If you're playing tight like you should be at this stage, you might benefit from another table or 2. Smile

I hear you guys. I can appreciate the benefits of multi-tabling, but the times I've tried I either lost or broke even (win some on 1 table, lose some on the other). No stress playing 1 table. I am satisfied with that for now. When I am "crushing" the micros I will expand my game and add more tables, but for now it is Kool n' the Gang.

I can't give up the tele when playing poker, whether at home, friends basement game, or casino, I watch and play. The beauty of online play is if I miss something I can replay the hand. I just take glances at the tube anyway, most of my attention is on the table.

Just wasted a few dimes on the 10 cent 360 man turbo tourney (for fun), didn't cash. I want to play some more poker tonight, but I don't feel like playing anymore poker. The beats I took earlier today has stuck with me. I really wanted to hit $70 today and I was so close. I'll just cruise the forum until I fall asleep. See what tid bits I can pick up.

Just completed a big nothing session. Got felted when my TPTK went down to a set, then spent the next few hours grinding it back up. Role is at $64.30. Gonna get something to eat then do another session later tonight. I really want to hit the $70 dollar mark this weekend.

On a side note. The money I have saved by gambling is remarkable. Everyone got good gifts, i didn't have to use my credit cards, and I'm still able to make significant payments on what I already owe the crdit card companies. Playing poker is the cheapest form of entertainment today. Smile

This is working out just as I expected. If I actually end up making significant money doing this, it would be the icing on the cake.

Evening session not so good either. Dropped $1 at a ring game, then played $1 MTT. Finished in 340 something place for a double up. Built up a nice 10,000 chip stack until my QQ ran into AA (how many times can that happen, rash of those things for me lately), then my TPTK went down to overpair. Ended the tourney on the losing side of a race (my AJ suited vs 88). No surprise. At least I cashed, but so disappointed. One has to be lucky to win a MTT, and I definitely ain't that.

Just gonna grind a ring game for the rest of the night. Till tomorrow.

This morning I made my 1st final table in a MTT. I don't know if I can really count this because it was only the 10 cent 360 man turbo. But a final table nonetheless. I finished in 4th place and won $2.80.

In this tourney my QQ ran into KK early (happens twice a day it seems) but fortunately I had bigger stack. Toughed it out, didn't tilt, and rebuilt my stack. I've never played this much poker in my life so I have to adjust my expectations. Realize how often multiple big PPs are dealt in the same hand at full ring games. I used to think it was rare. Now I know different. Realize what a 70/30 advantage means in infinity terms so I stop tilting when my big hands go down. My game is improving and I'm happy with that. Roll is at $67.64. I can smell $70!!!

Up and down session. Logged just under 200 hands. Decided to end on the up. Roll is at $69.25, just short of my $70 goal. I figured I'll call it a night b4 I lose a few dollars trying to win 75 cents. I am pretty much done grinding for the day. I will play one 10 cent tourney then go to bed. See I f I can make another FT.

The poker gods are smiling on me. I think I will play my first $2 MTT today as it seems luck is finally on my side. Played a little over 100 hand session and up a buy in (I forgot to change my buyin from $3 to $2). Roll is at $71.57. Taking a break now as a bunch of LAGGs have overrun the tables. That's another problem I have with 2NL. Players constantly come and go changing the dynamic. Tables break up often also. I've noticed that is not the case in 5NL.
Maybe it's just the grass being greener, but I see those higher limits as much more stable.

Here are two hands I lucked up on. A little sad to admit, but it really does feel good to outluck someone for a change.

Villian had KK. Still a little upset cos that is happening to me way too often. "That" being opponents getting bigger PPs than me. ALWAYS!!! BTW, I didn't respect villian's 4bet cos he was LAGG and going all in often. But I did consider a fold.

Villian had 6s6d. I had this table pegged. I made it 6 cents to go b/c I knew player to my left would make it 10 like he had done every time before. Having reads on the players I couldn't have played this any better. BUT THIS ISN'T A WHINE POST. I am just identifying the type of beats that get under my skin. Granted, I got very lucky in the 2 hands in my previous post, but there is a huge difference. In those to hands I had reason to believe I was ahead when money went in. My beat was completely absurd and drives me crazy! I can handle set over set, smaller PP catching set, etc, but the runner-runner crap kills me. And of course, as usual, player proceeds to donk off my chips to other players. I've said it before, I can't win the big pots. It's an everyday thing, just like getting dealt KK to opponents AA, everyday thing. And I'm not playing 10K hands a week, so how can KK run into AA so often in such a small sample? WTF?

Sorry if this has become a whine post, but I just don't understand how this can be. I small pot poker my way to profits, but big hands keep going down. What the hell am I supposed to do? I can't win the big pots. I can't win the big pots. No matter how big my advantage, whatever my opponent needs they catch. Screw it! I know there is nothing anyone can do about it. I just had to get this out. Vent a little. It's just every single day.

That's it for me tonight. Done until tomorrow. I didn't play the MTT like I wanted to, missed it. Roll is at $68.97. Didn't stay at $70 for long. I am so pissed.

Was steaming so much I couldn't fall asleep (I might have a problem if losing $3 bothers me so much, and it's not even about the money) so I played a 10 cent 360 man turbo. Finished in 2nd place. Had a slight chip advantage heads-up but couldn't maintain. It has been so long since I played heads up. I don't even remember how I won the Heads up tourney so long ago. I don't even like playing 6 max/shorthanded these days, much less one on one.

Anyway, won $6 and my roll is at $74.87. Feel alot better now and a little bit drowsy. Till tomorrow. Smile
