Introduction
I'm one of the old guys here (age wise) on FTR and I finally decided to do the OP thing. I've been playing online since July 2008. I play home games too about once a month but those are for socializing and drinking beer.

Did the normal thing: Put $25 on PS and lost it in limit micros. Rinse, Repeat about 6 times. Tried playing $1.20 SNGs and lost there too. Then did some Googling and found a video by Bjaust and have been here since.

After I found FTR and started playing SNGs and built the roll up a little with much help on the SNG forum by posting HHs. Started multi tabling SNGs but still got bored. Added a 5NL cash game to ease the boredom. Realized I was losing money in the SNGs so went exclusively to cash games (5NL) and started using the free trial of PT and then HEM until the trials ran out.

Grinded up to about $220 and took a shot at 10NL where I failed miserably and dropped back down at about $150. Posted stats and founded out I sucked much more than I thought. The words "tard" and "idiot" were used many times in the analyses. I was playing weaktight.

Got reamed out by many FTR'ers and started playing TAGG and the mullah started rolling in. After $300 I moved back up to 10NL and proceeded to run at 20 bb/100. I was up $275 in February alone over about 14k hands. Sometime in there I bought HEM.

At $650 I took a shot at 25NL and lost miserably dropping back down to $470 before getting money scared.

Which brings us to this blog. My goal is to return my BR to $650 and then decide if I want to move back up to 25NL. This is dependent on how confident I feel.

gl mate. I tried to move from 10NL to 25NL about 5/6 times and was unsuccessful until pretty recently. keep reading ftr and posting the hands you're not sure about.

also, when you do move up, keep your game the same. i think the biggest mistake i made was expecting/thinking all the regs were constantly playing back at me.

Played 500 hands and down $3 after being up 3BIs earlier. Looks like I'm going through the variance shit.

220 hands tonight and down $19.
Until a few days ago when I started losing at 25NL I hadn't had a losing session since 2/23 over with over 4k hands.

This is the same kind of crap I was seeing at 25NL. Getting frustrating. Good new is it looks like variance so I'll be patient.

Best of luck! 10nl can be very frustrating. I had been riding the variance train till this week when I finally was able to make some progress towards 25nl. I would suggest moving up at $750 instead of $650 to give yourself an extra cushion (atleast that is what I plan on doing).

Anyways, hope that things go well for you and you can pwn 10nl and get back up to 25nl soon

Thanks miec. I'm following your OP too.

10NL is frustrating but it doesn't bother me as much to lose a BI as it did in 25NL. Guess it's the BRM thing. $10 out of $500? Meh, but $25 out of $500? Holy shit.

I guess to have the same meh reaction at 25NL I need a BR of $1250. Don't know if I can wait that long.

Play your good hands fast and pay very close attention people's position and betsizing. The more you play the more you are going to figure out a lot of general bet sizing tells

You need to concentrate not on Variance or coolers because honestly the skill level at 10NL is not high. You need to focus on general solid all around poker and spots where you can pound villains, which is very often blinds. Study blind play and you can heavily increase your winrate.

Seems I've been getting bored and spewing a bit. I normally play 3 tables. Last night after getting down a couple of BIs, I stopped and reviewed my hand histories.

I was playing several hands that I should not have been playing in. I was OOP with marginal hands and spewing. I decided to add another table and I immediately stopped spewing as I didn't have time to "Justify" making a stupid play. At the end of the session I was up 1.5 BIs on 2 tables and up a couple of bucks on the other two. I think I'll 4 table for a while and see how it goes.

Time for a break.

When it gets to the point when you say out loud
"I hate this game" it's time for a break.

I was up 4BIs earlier tonight and lost all of it and about $5. I will not play again for a few days at least.

When it gets to the point where it's not fun, it's time for a break.

The beer drinking started after the last cooler and will continue until... whenever. I think I'l go fishing for a few days. I'm thinking I'll do better with the other kind of fish.

Thank you

Expect the next update about Wednesday at the earliest.

After posting the stats, I really looked at my sessions for the last week. I blocked known cards and practiced ranges. I was doing this peviously before every session and then I stopped when I was at 10bb/100 hands. I spend an hour or so doing this. I also went back and read Spenda's series on leaks of losing NL players. I then opened 3 tables instead of 4 and turned music on the tv instead of a movie/hockey game/etc.

Amazing what you can do when you start playing again like you were playing when you were winning.
BR got down to as low as $393. Now it's back up to $470. I was up 5.5 BIs just last night.

I was calling hands when I knew I was behind.
I was cbetting very wet boards against players with a fold to cbet of <20%.(not paying attention)
I was calling too many 3bets when I knew villian was holding AA or KK.(this was a revelation while reviewing HHs. "What did you think he had idiot?")
I was calling to many bets with horrible pot odd.
I was playing marginal hands OOP.
I was tilting when losing a BI. (This was retarded as I am over- rolled for 10NL at 40+ BIs)
I was folding hands where I had great pot odds

I WILL review HHs before every session from now on... like I did when I was killing 10NL at 19bb/100 hands.

As I promised myself, I reviewed HHs before playing. I spewed a bit tonight but my play was much better. Up 5.5 BIs yesterday and up 2.5 BIs today.

A few hands...

Hand 1
Villian was 35/9/2.5 over 120 hands
Sometimes Villians play exactly the way you want them to. The check turn was to induce a bet which he didn't. He was slowplaying his boat. I was hoping he would shove with the weak river bet.

Major Spew

Villian was 11/5/2 over 30 hands. I knew he had AA but like a retard I spewed and spewed and spewed. AK is by far my spew hand. I either wins minimum pots or lose big pots.

Played about 500 hands as a 22/20/2.5 tonight and I'm up over 5 BIs and I did not shove once. I never got AA and I lost or split every time I got AK or QQ. Won min pots with KK. I mostly won with sets, flushes, straights or bluffing.

One notable hand.
Villian was a 70/60/2 and would open 4bb every hand he played. I was at a table with 3 out of 6 players VPIP of 45 or greater. I was playing nitty because of this. I had seen villian bet this exact way with air many times. He would have 37o and hit a 3 on the river to take down AK. He did this so often that many players would leave. I split with him a few hands earlier with top two. He would bet big with air and slowplay good hands. He tried to slowplay the top two but I pushed him and he called. This may look bad on my part but it was one of those "you had to be there" hands. He would berate players every time he beat them. The entire table LOLed after this hand. A few hands later he bluffed a flush and got taken down with a flush and left. More LOLs all around.

Since posting my stats, I increased my VPIP, PFR, 3bet and AF. These are the sessions since then.
Up almost 5BIs.

After 40 minutes, I was down 4BIs. Boat got spanked with quads, Straight spanked with boat, Q full of A got spanked with A fullof J, etc. Major tilt so I took a break for an hour and watch hockey. Came back after I had relaxed and won it back except $8. Feel much better.

Meh, above post was after major tilt. I don't care if anyone replies. I like having a record of my thoughts and progress (or lack there-of)

I normally play 3-4 tables of 10NL-6max. Thursday, Friday, and Saturday I decided to play 2 tables of 10NL and 1 of 25NL. I had a little over 20BIs for 25NL so I figured one table would be a good way to ease into it.

I played the same way for all tables.

10NL tables went as usual. Up a BI, down a BI, up a BI, Up, etc.

25NL tables went Down a BI, reload, Up a few bucks, Up a few bucks, Down a BI, quit.

This happened all three days. Luckily I was up in all the 10NL tables so I wasn't down $150 for 3 days but I was down ~$100 total.
At one point I had more $$ at both of the 10NL tables than I had at the 25NL table.

I was not playing with scared money at the 25NL tables, unlike before. I got my money in good on all the 25NL losing games. I lost for the same reasons I did at 10NL (str8<flush, set of A< river str8 card, etc) but the effect on my BR was too much of a hit so no more for a while. I think once my BR can support 25NL I'll move up (no more taking shots)

I know y'all are so glad that I didn't end this Op as you look forward to reading it every day.

Maybe since I did something stupid, I can get a reply. Or was it stupid? I would like a reply to this question if possible.

Yea, so my question is, what's the point in studying and learning the game? How can skill compete with luck? At microstakes, it seems, luck > skill. Anyone have an argument? Of course people manage to beat micros, but damn it's frustrating.

Beating the micros is easy. Play ABC poker, learn to fold when you're raised (or behind your opponents range) and get your hands in. Seriously. I'm beating 25NL for 14BB/100 at the moment playing ABC poker.

Sasquatch, for the hands above:
H1 I fold turn
H2 Smaller turn bet, I fold river
H3 preflop is fine I guess. Pretty much setmining now. You must raise the flop sooner imo to not risk seeing a turn cheaply. They are stacking off with overpairs so make sure it happens.

Meh, makes sense now.

I figured overpairs too. Did you look at the results? I was surprised at what they were holding

Played roughly 500 hands yesterday. Up 3.5 BIs

BR is up to $450. If only I hadn't added the 25NL tables this weekend.

For April, up 11 BIs for 10NL

I have started letting the table determine by VPIP/PFR. Last night I was 28/25/3 at one, 12/8/1 at another, and 18/14/4 at another. Don't play more hands just because you're getting cold cards (but do steal when appropriate) Do you show Your HEM stats at each table?

I have started folding more to big bets when I know I'm probably beat.

My birthday is coming up in a couple of weeks.
I'll be about 2.5x the age of dranger7070

My wife asked me what I wanted for my birthday.
I told her that I wanted to move up to 25NL.

She said "How much does that cost?"
I didn't know how to answer her.

Board is wet, too many set/straight combos, and there really aren't that many villains that do this with straight draws, despite this case.

H2 Smaller turn bet, I fold river

Good

Yea it was surprising but you got it in with the effective nuts so who gives a fuckshit what the results were.

Post more hands and PM if you ever need help.

Up almost 4 BIs for the night.
BR sits at $491

I've been having to play rather nitty lately (16/12) as I've been finding tables with three or four 35+ vpip players and a couple nits or weaktight players.

For April I'm running 14.85 bb/100 over ~10k hands
Up 15 BIs for the month of April
I may get my birthday present after all

/brag
(It's my Op and I can brag if I want to. Better than bitching all the time)

Suuuuweet hand

Villian is 38/35/2 over 70 hands. He would also fold to aggression.
I limped intentionally as I knew he would bet. I was going to c/r the flop but he checked.
Honestly, I didn't push on river cause I didn't see it at first. Then I figured he might fold if he thought I had the A.
Getting too tired by this hand.

From reading your posts, I get the impression you don't have a one day 5% of your bankroll stop loss. I'd recommend doing that and you'd prevent yourself from losing too many buy-ins in one day.

Maybe I misunderstood you, but did you move up to $25NL before you met the goal you had set for yourself? If so, why?

I don't consider what I did moving up. Kind of a half assed shot. Before I only played 25NL when I took a shot. This time I was only risking $5 more than 4 tabling 10NL and when I lost 10% (maybe 12% when I got below $500) of my BR I would quit for the day.

I won't be doing it again anyway.

Had one hellluva night
~1000 hands and up 6.5 BIs

BR sits at $560

For April, I'm running 18.96 bb/100 hands for 11400 hands

Something that has helped alot is finding the Fold button. The minbet-monkeys were killing me. I've gotten better at spotting a set and two pair also. Still lost a few with overpairs

I'm also being very selective in table selection.
1. High Players per flop
2. Low Hands per Hour (lots of hands going to showdown)
3. High Average Pot (at least 10bbs)
In that order.

These are the hands you love...

Table had 4 players with VPIP of >45 and one 11/9/13 player
This villian was 49/11/4 over 48 hands
On the river I though he may have hit the straight flush until the minraise.
The $6 bet was suppose to put him AI but I looked at it wrong.
Gotta start wearing my reading glasses more (That's old guys for ya)

Thanks PlayToWin.

Had another pretty good night last night. Up about 3 BIs.

BR sits at $590

Up 25 BIs for April and running 19.25 bb/100 hands.

I need to learn where the fold button is with AK. If I don't hit on the flop, I always lose and refuse to fold.

AK alone cost me over 3 BIs last night.
I need to read the AK article again, and again, and again.

Villian was 35/9/1.6 over 160 hands and I had just taken $15 off of him two hands earlier with AA>KK .

Weekend didn't go so well. Down 4 BIs. Got up to $600 then dropped to $560.

Got money on good but typical 2pair<set, got out flushed, set<flush, etc.

No complaints though. Had a very good week last week.

Down to $500... again.

More of the same. But I am finding some dream tables at 10NL. All players over 45 VPIP. Gotta be careful what you get in with. The ones that give me the most trouble are the 90/75 villians. Seems every time I get in good, they got in a little better. Especially after I see them go to SD with T4o and air. Taking some good notes though.

Still grinding along. I'm no longer in a rush to get to 25NL. I'll get there when I get there. Hopefully this time it'll be during a major heater.

I have high hopes for the weekend. Playing in a home game Saturday at a friends. I don't expect to win much but I always have a good time. It's a needed change over playing online sometimes.

Yeah, last night I was on one of those tables and kept getting coolered. Had a made straight against villain who had 75% VPIP and he had two cards to make a one card better straight. Against a 65% VPIP villain, made an 8 high flush using two cards and he had a ten high flush using two cards. Flopped the nuts in another hand, get two maniac villains betting into me, but they auto shut down on the raise. Grrr ...

I think EVERYONE should have this attitude. Why the rush? It'll only make you feel bad when you don't move up at the rate you want. If you're beating the game, you just have to play enough hands. I tend to think taking it slow is better EV because you're in a better frame of mind. Quality EV hours always beats any amount of mediocre negative EV hours.

Why can't you win much money? The stakes are too low or the competition is too good? I have two games planned myself: a $0.25/$0.50 game and a $0.50/$1.00 game. I've cleared as much as $131 in the former. It's amazing what I can do when I actually hit some hands against some fish

Jason,
The home games are low stakes.

$10 buyin tournament with about 10 players. Pays top three(50/30/20).

Players who get knocked out of the tournamant start a $5 buyin cash game. Stakes are 0.05/0.10 but BI is limited to $5. Rebuy only allowed when you get less than $1.

I always take lots of beer and drink a little of it and give the rest away. This is always ++EV.

Had a pretty good night. Switched back to 4 tables cause I was geting bored playing and spewing a bit. Woulda been up more but I got coolered a couple of times.

Up a little over 4 BIs.
BR is at $552

And now the better news...

Went to the Urologist today for a "procedure"
(don't ask what it was cause just describing it will make you young guys hurt and prob the old guys too)

There was a chance I had Prostate Cancer.
I DON'T

Been breaking even over the last few days.

I am finding the fold button more but it's hard to find with the nut flush. Boats have been killing my flushes.

-I keep trying to bluff the calling stations.
-Stop cbetting crap and not getting out when I should
-I intend to b/f but I'm getting called so I bet another street and get called again.

Breaking even is better than losing at the moment.

BR $582

Still taking my time and not rushing to 25NL.
Dranger and M2M are making it hard to do though...
Y'all are kicking ass and taking names

Looks like I will not be getting the B'day present I wanted. B'day is tomorrow. The big 48!!!

Home game went pretty good too. Came in 4th in the tournament. This is why I stopped playing SNGs online.

Cash game went much better. $5 Buyin and I was up 3.5 BIs by the time I left. Of course they tried to get me to stay longer.

Finally had another upswing. Up ~2.5 BIs so BR sits at ~$610.

I stopped stealing from SB as much and upped stealing from Button.

I stopped trying to bluff the calling stations. First half hour of hands I did this and remembered I said I wouldn't so I stopped.

Still having some trouble witht he b/f and getting called.

I'm getting better at finding the fold button. Biggest pot lost for the night was $3. Usually it's >$8

I took down many pots betting every street. For many villians this put them AI and they had middle pairs. On one I was beat with bottom two pair and rivered a K for a set. Villian tilted nicely.

Villian's thought process:
"His Turn bet is a Q or a flush bluff so I'll minraise him allin and he'll fold. I know he can't have a flush"

MP was another calling station 40/4/1.5 who had taken most of Button's stack a few hands earlier.

QTs is usually a fold for me with a raiser but I was getting cold cards forever. I played this one because as Spenda puts it in his vids "Because I felt like it".

Something I need to remember:

-Even bad players get good hands occasionally.

An 80/1/0.6 spanked my ass two hands in a row(JJ<KKset, KK<AA) so I was down 2.5 BIs for the session. I took a half hour break and came back and recovered 2 of the BIs.

Why is it that you sit 4-tabling and get air forever and then all the good cards hit all the tables at once?

Here's how my night went.

My BR is between $580 or $620 depending on the night. No more, no less.

"You can't make someone fold" even if they have

Q2o in the BB or
36o in the BB

These are the nights that it drops to $580 (no more cause I always quit)
