But I couldn't help it! I mean, I'm pretty much nut camping to begin with and playing by the book tight poker, so I only get a playable hand like 1 in every 15-20 hands. It should be okay if I play really tight... r-right? |
yes and no. effectively you are playing scared poker and not being able to exploit your opponents.What happens when you have well above average hand and opponent goes all in. When you are properly rolled you can call, if you're protecting your stack do you still call?.

Overall, I did pretty decent today. In the morning, I played my first SnGs ($1), though they were just DoNs. Being my first time, I was really surprised by the play and quickly realized that this was waaaay different from cash games. So I lost one, played another and survived to the money. They're strangely fun, probably because they're fast paced with a clear winner, but I don't think I'm gonna be playing anymore for now. I'm still just learning $2NL, can't handle learning a new game.

Far better to learn one game at a time , wh8ile some of the postflop play will be similar , pre flop is different

Later on, I was playing in a normal full ring $2NL and I was getting garbage for soooo long. I wasn't losing money or anything but damn, it was boring and I hadn't played a hand for like 20 minutes. That's what lead me back to the dark road of multitabling again, which, of course, is idiotic since I only have a week's worth of real money poker experience....but I guess no need for the self-deprecation since that's what Keith is for, so I'll just tell you the results, which was pretty alright

theres nothing wrong with multitabling so long as you are playing profitably. Once you get to that stage add more tables one at a time.Adding tables is a trade off between having time to think about the hands you are playing and learn the game versus getting experience a lot quicker.

I was playing 3 tables and tried to play even tighter than usual to at least limit somewhat what I knew was an already risky situation. All in all, I only lost one big hand against a set when I had TPTK and I was drawing to the nut flush. Other than that, standard stuff, no significant battles, although there was one notable exception...I got my first straight flush, BOOYA.
Do ppl still say booya?
I still say booya.

you now have the nuts , your main thought now should be about how to get all your money and the opponents money in the middle.If you'd potted the flop , you could have gone for a slight overbet here and made it .30 which if he'd called would leave a pot ov about 1$ .

Just get them chips all in now , he would have called a shove and at 2NL you'll be surprised what they will call a shove with. This is how you get your roll moving up quick and increase your winrate. Big hand Big pot small hand small pot. just get all your chips in the middle with the nuts. If he doesnt call you wouldnt have got them anyway.

Back to the multitabling, well, technically, it's wasn't too far above my bankroll with enough for 10BBs each (not as bad as last time where I had like 2 for each table lol)...but I'm gonna promise myself not violate my bankroll again. I'm starting to see that this grind is totally possible and I really want to do this. If I do multitable again, I'll restrict myself to two tables, which'll give me at least 15BBs

This all comes down to discipline , can you resist the temptation. Theres allways going to be temptation and its usually the way to bust your roll.I'm confused about your BBs .How big is your roll now.On that hand you had $2.88 which is 142 bb or 71 BB. If that is all of your roll theres no reason why you cant play 2 x 2NL tables and buyin for 1$ on eachand you should try and get to the stage where you have less than 10% of your roll actually in play at any one time as soon as possible. This means you will no longer be playing scared poker.
