Get Rich or Die Tryin' The Bankroll Challenge - NL10 Blog bonecore

It was a very good week since i did not lose much since i had so much tilt this weak.
I multitabled 12 tables because of tilt. (8 tables - NL10 and 2 tables - NL25)
I had the best day this week and after that i played very bad, like a robot. No creativity, 0 bluffs, could not think.
Ended up playing 1 table last 2 days in order to find my good play but did not find it.

hey next week better bonecore , but why did you play 25NL was it out of tilt or ?
well gl for next week!

yes, because of tilt and lost of hope :)... happens
Fuck with playing so many tables and with playing so many hands.
From now on hands number doesn't have importance!

I suggest you this program : http://tiltbreaker.com/ , don't let your 2-3 month work go in 1-2 tilted sessions at NL25
You invested a lot of time in studying and you are on the right path to crush stakes up to even NL50 until the end of the year, but only if you keep yourself on this path without playing on tilt or higher stakes.
You will never win on tilt, so watch a movie instead, have a walk, play a game etc ... this way you will avoid loosing money at the tables and it will also help you get rid faster of the tilt

You should make a little effort for this blog to stay nl10 Blog. That's not to hard i think. Keep playing the best you can numbers will turn your way.

Thanks for motivating me! I will!

Cbet size factors:
1)-Cbet smaller when we have weak hand, Cbet bigger when we have strong hand
2)-the more dry the board the smaller you can bet
-if the board is dry and you have a good hand you still want to bet big
-how often does he hit the board , how often does he miss it?
3)if villain folds a lot we can make bet size smaller like 65% pot
if he calls a lot we should make it larger for value like 90% pot
4)c-bet larger with OESD or FD because you want him to fold second pair.

When to not Cbet flop:
1)cbet less often when we have a weak hand, especially when oop
2)Cbet less often when board hits his range
3)-cbet less often when he has a low Ftcbet(<50) and a high wtsd(>25) or a calling image (high vpip ,low pfr)
-cbet less often vs strong players who are capable of exploiting your high cbet%
-by play a trapping game like slowplaying aces and they usually 3bet this hand
-by x/r more than 15%. (most players have 10% raise cbet)
-by floating or raising with position on flop or later streets

Reasons to C-bet bluff
-in order to fold air that has equity vs us when villain range is wide
-in order to fold second pair when we have a good draw.

Hi bonecore, I like your blog and congrats to your success. You seem to be doing well. Which bring up my question about your game. I can see your red line does very well, how often do you run big bluffs? I mean I generally think on NL10 semi bluffs are ok, but you should avoid running big bluffs on these limits and play for value. So unless villain has a small wtsd value I don't really bluff on river. How much are your AF or WTSD values? Mine right now on NL10 is 3 and 24. Although I play pretty tight with my new strategy ... 21/17. My cbet is pretty low, it is only 45 but I have a balanced x/c range ... and it is 30% ... of course it is the 30% of the 55% when I don't cbet. What strategy do you have in SB, is it polarized? How many tables do you play? I play usually six tables.

i used to run big bluffs on nl5 and it worked
at nl10 i started some poker courses that messed up my game and i dont run big bluffs anymore
Also i am in a spot where i am redesigning my game now from bottom up

from what i noticed red line can be a problem of
-passivity: not taking stabs in obvious spots where people check 2 times , not making enough delayed cbets IP
-openraising in wrong spots with wrong hands
-continuing to c-bet in such wrong spots with wrong hands
-3betting in wrong spots with wrong hands
-continuing to c-bet in 3bet pots in wrong spots with wrong hands
Make filters for each of these problems and see where it goes wrong

what kind of poker course if you don't mind I'll ask ... private coach? I started with zoom games, a played a lot there. I tried aggressive and conservative, tighter gameplay, didn't seem to be working, I was break even, then I ran into a 40bi lets say " downswing" so I switched to regular tables. Blinds had pretty good winrate on zoom, but didn't do well in the other positions. Now it is the opposite So what I am thinking that for SB play it is better to have a polarized range, rather then merged, may be even calling range, considering of course the opponent's opening range.

You have a very good work ethic.
It seems to me that other parts of your Mental Game are quite weak (you are an easy tilter, you are money scared, etc). Work on that at least as hard as you work on everything else. That should give you a big boost in your success.

i dont stop when a session is not going the right way and i am thinking i make some mistakes at table and i usually do!
but i correct wrong things, like adjustments to my game, losening up or tightning up, calling like a station , etc.

the root cause is that i don't know basic poker
since last week, every day , all day, i started to gather all info on open raising from each position
open raising seems complex because because it involves isolation, even tough there are no limpers
However i am sure i can find a way to make it simple and i did!
next week i will put it in practice and see results from now on.
if it will not work, i will be very disapointed...
(i had a previous try to construct 3bet ranges before moving up to nl10 and i ended up dissapointed and not having ranges at all and 3betting by stats)

If I feel like I played wrong, I gotta take a little break. I don't like, you are changing your game, because you are on nl10. I am not an expert, but it may be a mistake. You were good at nl5, and the same strategy should work at nl10 at least with 3bb/100 hands. You should just adjust it a step by step. But how many tables do you play at the time? Anyway the graphs are not bad I think. Just keep it up and good luck at the tables!

short answer how many tables i play is between 1 and 6.
to find out how many tables you should play... use HM2 and look for Multitable Report.
You will instantly see what is the max you can play!

I finished constructing dinamic Open ranges and dinamic iso-ranges. Now to put them in practice for a week ♦
