How can I Re-Build my game?

Hello everyone .

I play poker 5 years but never wasn't serious about it .

So far I lost little over 1000$ in online poker , usually by blowing my whole roll when tilted .

Now I working more on the mental side and I got some book on this topic .

The problem is that I always changing game .

2 months ago I decided to play SNG's but after 100+ games I found out that I don't like this game and I prefer cash games .

I always swiching between 6max and FR and cant decide which one I like most .

I also try every session different stiles. Sometimes I try to play very LAGy .

First , when I started to play cash games I found this site :

Crush Online Holdem - Home


This is my graph after I played really nity stile ( 8/6) on 2NL:



Now I play 5NL-10NL and this style doesn't work here.

Do you think I should play the same at 10NL or should I change my style ?

What helped you to decide which game you stick to ?

Someone tried here Grinderschool.com - Low Stakes Poker Strategy Videos ? If yes, how good their videos ?

Any advice that will help me to recover my game will help .

Thanks in advance ,

If you're just learning, I'd suggest sticking to FR; but remember there is little difference between FR and 6max when it comes down to it.

You might be able to make money playing 8/6 all the way up to 50s or even 100s probably, but it is no where near optimal. More likely you will break even and make money off bonuses and rakeback, not a good situation; you should learn to play the game for profit while still in the micros. Playing such an overly tight style will probably only stunt your growth. Learn to play postflop.

Grinderschool helped me when I was trying to beat 2nl and 5nl. I stopped subscribing after that. If you think you can learn something from it, and it definitely sounds like someone like you can, I would suggest subscribing.

You should concern yourself less with adopting a different 'style' or deviating from your previous 'style' or whatever, and focus on learning the game. Focus on concepts, don't worry about whether you run 17/12 or 13/11. If you go about learning the game correctly, these things will take care of themselves. Worry about your stats when you have a sample of 20k hands at least!

Good luck.

I will try 1 month of in grinders-school after I finish learn some videos that I downloaded from DC.

Thanks for the comment Penneywize .

Post hands and learn.

I will say that I have failed many times before, but past failure is no guarantee for future failure. Just keep trying posting and talking and you will learn.

Poker is infinately complex. Its best to stick to one style/game and play it over a decent period of time. You make gradual adjustments over time as you identify leaks in your play.

FR is easier to learn. 6max seems more profitable to me because its harder, ie. I have a bigger edge as a winning player because my opponents suck more when shorthanded.

Dont switch styles without reason. You adjust to your opponents. LAG will not work vs loose passive fish. If your table is full of 8/6 nits, get LAGGY.

it probably does work if 90% of your strategy is table selection. Its definately too tight to be optimal at 6max 10NL.

If your going to get good at poker you have to learn to adjust. Which means you cant nail down a strategy and play it exclusively.. You cant even pick a strategy that fits your table. You have to fit the players your against in the individual hand. You can sit at 10NL and be facing 2 loose passive fish, 1 uber nit and 2 average regs running around 17/10. Everyone of these players is exploitable, but your not going to tackle the fish the same way you tackle the nit. If your in a hand vs a fish and a nit then you need to concider how both of them will react to your actions which will alter your strategy again.

Respect that at 2NL your against 90% fish. Now you've moved up, the fish your used to only occupy 1-2 seats at each table, you have to adjust to your new villains, which are composed of people that feel comfortable losing $10 (as opposed to 2) and a pack of people that can play well enough to break even at or beat 2NL but are still as clueless as a monkey when it comes to post flop play.
