Okay, so I will put up a report from yesterdays session.

Playing tables and doing so table selecting isn't that bad really, just need get used to again.

Playing LAG actually is really fun, a lot more thinking is involved which I like to do. TAG is quite computerized.

Had to miss work today, because was feeling shit this morning. But I'm getting better.

Best Regards

Rihard

Decided to play 2 Zoom sessions after work.

Last ~300 hands finally nobody was drawing out on me on Turn and River. I was playing with mouth open sometimes. Even my gf watching, and she knows little about poker and was also just wtf, when people call down with crap and get there. But then some justice at the end. I was starting to think about PokerStars is rigged club. :f_biggrin:

Hey man, I don't think you should quit. Micros are easy once you get the hang of them. I don't want to sound like a dick (and I haven't seen an updated graph) but after 80k hands of playing micros you were breakeven.

So you obviously have some leaks, we all do. But a lot of the time when people have offered you advice/commented on a hand you've shut them down and told them they were wrong. At one point on skype you said the HE forums were pointless because they offer bad advice and your game suffers, yet these are guys who got to where they were by beating the micros/small stakes and moving up. I've offered to review a vid of you playing/go through hands 3/4 times when you've been struggling and each time you've said no (obv I don't care less work for me lol but I think most nl2/5 guys would jump at the chance to get a vid review from someone beating nl20, like I would from someone beating nl50+).

90% of micro regs have ego problems and think they are much better than they are which is why they don't move up. And I think you fall into this category. At some point most of us have too. Running below ev sucks. But in ~100k hands if your 'only' 30bi below thats -3bb/100 which shouldn't result in you being breakeven at nl2/5. Those games are beatable for 15-20bb/100. (and i've played them this year so I know from experience).

Again I'm not saying this to be cruel, I'm trying to help so its more tough love lol. And if you want me to edit and remove all this lmk and I'll happily do it.

To show I only want to help, and if you don't want to quit I'll help you beat micros. Sort of mentoring until you beat nl10... If what your doing atm isn't working what do you have to lose?

ego factor definietly involved..

you go on heater for +$200 and then lose it, and then think you should win at that level all the time..

Sorry but youve ran 30bi under ev in 80,000+ hands.. ive ran 30bi under ev in 20,000 hands..

shit happens.

NL2 this month at pokerstars. Lots of leaks, and a mindless "Valuebet any made hand until you find resistance" strat. The games beatable. BTW I'm 9 BI under ev as well in 12k hands. Games still stupidly beatable.
