Well. To be absolutely honest, I hate doing this, but MAYBE it could help me. I'm 25 years old, have no job, and plan to become a poker pro. I'm from Argentina, and started playing with 50 bucks on GGpoker 2 months ago. Today, I feel there is no way to beat NL2, having played 55k hands as of now. Tons of NITS mixed with maniacs mixed with value donkers and maniac donkers submerged in an unbearable rake cap, and most of the hands I get to play are bad beats, coolers or Villain just folds vs my cbet with the nuts 90% of the time. And I figured out that the yellow line (All In EV) only calculates the action after the all in occurs, so if Villain just flops a two pair with 62o and donks all in vs my KK having shown a maniac behavior during 50 hands, that line does not show it, or when he donks with A3o vs my QQ and the turn gives him a set after making me fold 4 times before because of random donk bets. So that line is useless for the 95% of the poker action, and using it as a measure of something is totally unreliable.
The only reason I'm still on the race is because of some random jackpots i won that allowed me to keep going.

Now, after venting all my emotions about this extremely difficult situation I'm on, totally unbearable emotionally, I plan to increase the stakes. I'm not going to surrender. instead of doing that, which it would be to much easy, my intention is to share with the forum daily or weekly in this thread my progress. As of now, I have only $ 41 on my acc total, and today in 1000 hands i've lost about 5 buyins, so my goal to stay alive now by reaching the fish buffet amount of rake in order to get the spin, and to grind cash money from leaderboards.
This is from bottom to top or from bottom to Hell.
Thanks for reading.

Hi luditheoria,
Welcome to PokerStrategy.com :welcome:

First, a couple of comments about the highlighted sections:
First: This is what you want — once you've identified the nits and the maniacs you simply treat them differently.[1]

Second; Increasing stakes without a solid foundation is not recommended.

Even though you're totally new to poker, I recommend reading our No Limit Hold'em lessons overview articles.
That article leads you through the basics and beyond.
Skip the parts that you've already mastered.

Check out https://forums.pokerstrategy.com/forum/thread.php?postid=3255945#post3255945 — it might gain you some addition funds as you go.

If you have any questions, just post them in the Q&A forum.

All the best,
VS

Are you in purgatory or in heaven right now? If in between, hang in there buddy!
