Getting my game right at the micros

Good luck on the micro stakes cash games and hopefully this blog will help you with it

Hi hardlife66,

So I finally found your blog. Nice to hear that you feel you're improving!

How is it going, lately? Any updates on your progress?

Also, what kind of games are you playing at the moment, and on which sites?

Thanks guys, all games are 6 players I always BI at max, I'm on PKR usually it takes me about an hour to increase my BI to between $3 & $4 across 2 tables at NL2 or like above $11.73 was my highest across 2 tables at NL4, I play tag and watch betting patterns till I think I have a winning hand which works 70% of the time.
The exception was yesterday when I managed to get from $2 to $3.63 in 7 hands at NL2.
The long game is to go up the levels so I can have an income of $1000 per week so $150- $200 per day but playing no more than 4 hours a day is this achieveable and at what level. I know I will have to bluff more and this I find is the hardest thing for me to get right.

P.S. Can you change the title for me to" Getting my game right at the micros" please!

Normally I would have folded at the turn, this one I got wrong, badly.

SB posts small blind ($0.02), Hero posts big blind ($0.04), CO calls, BU folds, SB calls, Hero checks

Flop: ($0.12 - 3 bb) K♦, 6♦, 5♦ (3 Players)

I read this all wrong, I wasn't expecting villian to have 5♥:5♣: but you live and learn.

Managed to almost save it on the other table been hanging around $6.90-$6.99 for a while so got out at $6.92.

Comment this was my best hand on the other table I won $2.55

Question, why do some people that play well suddenly shove till it's all lost then leave?

Played for half an hour again 2 tables NL2 lost around 30c on both

You can do it to. You can see at the top of thread you have created a ‘Edit’ button.
It looks like this (without the 'Close thread' button):

If you can click on it you can change your own title.
Hopefully that’s clear for you. Otherwise I can change it too, but it’s better that you do it first so that I know if you know how it works.

Thanks, I've done it

It's not happening today, 2 tables NL2 22 hands brake even, later on 2 tables NL2 117 hands lost 57c

I'm not happy

C'mon mate, 57c is not even half a buy-in. Don't let that get you down, we all face a cold deck from time to time.
