Spending My Days At 2NL

Maythany - lovin the blog lately.

btw - what did you do with that $5 you found? Did you spread some good?

I did indeed spread some good:f_cool:, I spread some good towards my myself:megusta::megusta::megusta::fuckyeah:

But yeah, you can't do much with 5$ in Toronto anyways lol.

Poker wise, I was only able to play a little over 3k hands. Using the extra hour to study for my upcoming tests.

It's a good thing there's a lot of weak players at 2nl who are a lot horrible than I am lol!

There's a lot of areas I need to improve on, and one of those areas is definitely my opening ranges. I have a range in my head, but I'll go through equilab and jot it down on a piece of paper so it's concrete rather than something intangible,

Another area would be playing from the blinds, and one habit I need to stop doing is bluff catching with A-high on the river.

I should start posting hands too

Only playing 1k hands today. I was going to play 2k hands and then use the rest of the time to study for two separate math tests tomorrow, but I feel those two tests are more important than playing poker.

Oh yeah, I forgot to tell you guys my goal!

I want to be playing 5nl by the new year so I have a little over a month to get myself ready for 5nl!

I'll most likely move to full tilt because of the deposit bonus I haven't claimed yet. So If I deposit $600 then I can claim up to $600 in cash bonuses which is going to be a huge boost to my bankroll, granted I clear it fast enough.

my opening ranges for 2nl

77+,ATs+,A5s-A2s,KTs+,QTs+,JTs,T9s,AJo+

55+,ATs+,A5s-A2s,KTs+,QTs+,JTs,T9s,ATo+,KQo

22+,A2s+,K8s+,Q8s+,J8s+,T8s+,97s+,87s,A2o+,K9o+,Q9o+,J9o+,T9o

22+,A2s+,K2s+,Q6s+,J6s+,T6s+,96s+,86s+,75s+,64s+,54s,A2o+,K7o+,Q7o+,J7o+,T7o+,97o+,87o

22+,A2s+,K7s+,Q7s+,J7s+,T7s+,97s+,86s+,76s,65s,A2o+,K7o+,Q8o+,J8o+,T8o+,97o+,87o

if BB is a nit, I am going to expand my opening range, and against a loose player I am going to tighten my general raising range in sb

played my first early morning rooster 1k hands today.

I'm going to make this a daily thing!

Interesting ranges - I'm curious how you developed them as they don't seem to be pulled from one of the standard hand ranking systems.

Hey man - just saw this thread and thought you may be interested:

Yeah, i was thinking the same.
77+ from UTG and 55+ from MP would be too tight for me. And on the other hand A5s-A2s form UTG too loose.

yeah lol....

I'll admit it's a range I thought of myself so there's always room for improvement (trimming).

I'm open to suggestions! Feel free to constructively criticize!:coolface:

It's for 5nl and 10nl unfortunately, but she sent me a friend request so we'll see what happens.

note to self: Stop calling on the river when you know your 3rd pair isn't good.

very swingy game today, small profit after 10k hands that I played today, but at least my AI EV is good.

You got 10,000 hands in today? Very nice sir. How many tables and how many hours is that on zoom anyways?

Running below EV that much just sucks

i think it was a little over 10 hrs

And yeah those swings are crazy, but I'm trying to get use to these swings.

It's something high volume players have to pay

played 4.7k hands today. Ran over EV.

so far I have 41.752k hands and my bb/100 is 5.59/100 and my EV bb/100 is 5.95/100

IMO, this isn't good at all and although it is only 42k hands, it just shows how much improvement I need to work on my game.

keep up the hard work!

Presume you're multi-tabling... How many tables are you playing & how long are your sessions?

didn't play for 2 days. Had a math test on monday to study for and a math test tomorrow so my time was pretty consumed.

Looking to put in the hours tomorrow after my schedule clears up. Still managed to play 1k hands and there is a wtf moment:
