Update at 20k.




Short update. I've tried to play more positionally aware game, steal more from LP and to stop paying villains off when they hit strong hands. I think I am doing good on all those areas. Maybe not perfect but I am improving and it's showing in my game.

I've noticed that I have serious issues playing deep stacked game. If I buyin for 5$ (250BBs) I just cannot play properly. I end up stacking off with mediocre hands (something that you can do with 100BBs IMO) and most of players with 5$ at the table are not donkfish but players wanting to improve like me who do know something about poker. I've tried to move to 5$ buyin few times to increase potential profit as I feel I am beating majority of the level but it's just not working as planned. Maybe I need a period of adjustment or something. I'm not sure.

I've decided to stick to 100BB buyin regardless of missed income opportunity. It's good to get used to that stack as it's going to be norm once I level up to NL10.

If I hadn't tried to buyin for 5$ few times I would probably be at around 90-95$ right about now which would be nice . Last two sessions I'm soundly beating NL2 with 20-25BB/100 average. I'll try to keep that going for a while to prove myself I am good enough to move up to NL10 once I get good enough bankroll.
