-play tighter vs fishes

Why?
They play wider ranges and you want their money, so you need to get in pots with them. If you normally steal K9, go down to K6 - they will often call 2nd or worse pair, you can valuebet more. Ergo: the value of all your good hands increases. So, in the end i do not see the point of playing tighter vs most fish (under some requirements like position, deepness, aggression...)

That applies to when you're the bettor and the one who has a better hand... being loose-passive vs fish on late streets is suicidal imo. One needs to differ somehow from those whom he's hunting

my attempt at nl50 failed .. down 8bi
today was down 2.5 bi and back at nl25 got it back.
Money seemed to put pressure on my play ... it's a big difference moneywise
But losing helped me in a way or another...
so from now on i will play at least 2k hands/day at 4 tables... i seem to do great at 4 tables.. i did great today
and since lemon said there is a big winner playing just 4 table... i will not try to add more so it will be fine
today i played great ... never did play so good in my life

@tonypmm can't wait for us to get that status upgrade ♦:D:D

after i made an analyse of my today session i come to this next conclusions:
-when i cbet i should know what Turn cards i would barrel (this way i look if i have backdoor stuff)
-when i barrel with equity , if i dont hit then i give up! I dont ship river only when the board has a good runout so that villain hand becomes weakish to mediocre.
-use the rules for betsizing (hand strenght , board texture, villain) bet big vs fit fold if you have a strong hand because hand strenght is most importand

Here easy spot to not barrel river right?

x/R F? as played, I would barrel R big

yep.. x/r flop is a decent alternative!
thanks

my bb game is shit at the moment
my 3b ip should probably be increased
still i need to understand how my opening range from SB affects my ft3b from sb (because it is 59% ... anything more and it's bad)
my fold to cbet is quity high so ...

Create ranges from SB vs BB
Preflop opening ranges
Calling 3-bets ranges
4-bet ranges
call 5-bet ranges

Create ranges for BB vs SB
Cold-calling ranges
3-betting ranges
Calling 4-bets ranges
5-betting ranges

NL50 is slightly losing for me ... even tough i had such luck
NL25 i was confortable without table selection... i'm still not confortable at nl50

Watch out our video section for next Tuesday - we will have a video by BogdanPS, exactly focusing on that topic

Nice suckout on AA (I think)

yes .. definetely a good result
@SvenBe thanks for letting me know !

people at nl50 are not that exploitative as at nl25 and i can't see how to make money immediately
this shows in the results , at least for now

last month i ran 25 BI below ev... this month i need to run good in order to not move down again as this is my second shot at nl50
Anyhow, i am not money scared now.... i was for first 10k hands... now i dont blink if i stack off
