    ok i'm trying to do one of my own right now but could someone please explain why this 13.6%1 +10.2%1 = 69.4%1 is said to be unsolvable at an online algebra solver?

    because you have effectively written 26% of 1 = 69% of 1 which implies 1=0 .

    don't take this the wrong way , but you really don't need to be doing ev calculations and worrying about reverse implied odds to beat 2nl.

    play tight so that your range is unbalanced and your range is going to be a lot stronger than your opponents in any hand you are involved in.At this level your opponents have never heard of a hand range so that you don't have to be playing suited connectors in early position to balance your ranges. That comes as you move up stakes and play against better players who will be taking notice of what you are playing. Playing the unbalanced strong ranges then will just mean that your monsters don't get paid off.

    Fold to late street aggresion unless you have the nuts. If someone is willing to get thier stack in you want a very strong hand as they are likely to have a pretty strong hand
    Don't chase gutshots unless you are priced in else you'll just endup spewing money over time.Just get the money in with your monsters as you will get paid.
    Do some sweats , you'll have loads of faults pointed out to you that you probably don't realise are costing you money.

    ok , you're probably saying to yourself , you don't know what its like down here at 2nl with lots of people seeing a flop.Had £3 on VC poker from my freerolling days and as i'm looking at moving away from stars last week I just decided to give it a whirl and some light relief from the grind.'

    Think it works out at around 18 bb/100 which considering that I was half stacking with all my money on the tables and adding an extra table as i doubled up wasn't too bad. Downside of this strategy is that it restricts your winrate by not getting paid off fully with monsters , but the upside was that it minimised the risk to the bankroll which was all on the tables.Its pretty similar to one of jyms grinderschool videos at battlefield poker . Anyway as the roll grows i'll be increasing the buyin amounts and keeping some reserves.

    If you are interested in a sweat send me a PM but bear in mind that i'm in the UK to schedule it.
