Hey Tine.

I am also form Slovenia and it is nice to see other Slovenians here :f_cool:.

My suggestion would be that you try one of our free poker money offers. You will then be tracked through PokerStrategy and receive points so you can become bronze and then silver easily. With silver status you will be able to post hands to professional judges who will give you great tips on your hands and you will know instantly if your thought process is good and if there is something to learn. You will also unlock many of great articles and videos that could help you a lot on your journey.

The game is hard these days. I played NL25 and was BE for a long time. Then i decided to move down to play NL2 ZOOM and to start all over my career. With some basic work and preparation i am pretty sure you will beat NL2 and NL5 easily. Then NL10 is still quite easily beatable and things are getting complicated a bit from NL25 on. These are my personal experiences and maybe i am wrong but i think it is something like that.

I wish you all good luck. With hard work and dedication i am sure you can make it.

Ofc i will follow your progress. Good luck.

Hey Tine,

this is happening all the time. But be careful about betting chances. That K :club:J :club: hand you can easily isolate the limper. At NL2 i think it is very important to value bet at every single chance you have. So don't play to passively when you have chance to play for value. You cannot believe what are guys able to call with. So don't bluff to much and play for value at every single chance you have and you will beat NL2 in notime :f_cool:

Good luck.

Hi tinetotRNMD,
first i´d change pokerrooms,
i guess u play on ipoker ? Not good. Even if u have a good RB-deal,
it´s not enough to beat rake on the micros.
Play less tables, u can always work yourself up and add additional tables if u are bored,
but until then stay focused on a couple of them.

Beating NL2, does not require too much skill.
Don´t start to level yourself! Just play solid ABC-poker !
Don´t bluff on those stakes ! (Either they´re not good enough to fold or it´s just too little money, so they just call down.)
Don´t try any "advanced" moves ... just simple tight is right play !!!

Hope this helps

Regards
DoubleBogey

(Btw. all vids tell u to play solid on NL2. NO FANCY PLAY !!!)

If you were a winner in NL100, you will back in no time. It is a question to ask to yourself, if you ever WERE a winner at those stakes. It is very easy to have an upswing for 50k hands, feeling like a god and then run break even or at a loss for a long time. It can be because of variance, bad plays, or even slight change in your game style.

In my opinion, you can't afford a coach if you are playing NL4. I mean seriously, your bankroll is $200 and you will spend 100 on an hour of coaching ? Do u really need a coach at those stakes ? You can play chart poker and win at 5bb/100 easily.

Anyway, to sum everything up, there is no money in poker, everyone is solid. So, please spend 600$ on pleno's coaching package and grind 2 years to win it back.

Hi guys, It's been a while.

I have to say it feels good to have + month after long time ;)
I stopped playing at ipoker, after I calculate rake, rakeback and softness of the game ipoker vs. pokerstars, I figured that stars are much better for microlimits!

Anyway I didn't go play on pokerstars either, I went somwhere where holdem manager isn't working, but still managed to get tables, number of hands and profit, so I made graph by myself and calculate bb and bb/100.

Here is my February 2014, mostly NL2, last couple of days NL5. My ipoker results are already in topic so I won't repost them ;)

What has changed?
I started to play strictly fit-fold most of hands, no overplaying and leveling on others and myself.
If fish re-raises me, I fold without the nuts(turn-river)
If reg is showing strength, I always fold until I have a reason to do otherwise ;)

That's it for now, I'll be in touch...
