my progresion from the bottom

I wish you all the best to grind up the micros and good luck with your new blog.

I think your first goal is not good.
You should try something instead, try to increase my winrate, build a bankroll etc ! Status will come automatically.
Anyway, wish you the best and wonderful year !

GL to you!

So it is wednesday... My second session in 2 days.. not so bad. but I am almost break even. I made a few mistakes and I exploited some bad players too so there is my graph overall after almoast 2,5k hands

I was playing 0.01€/0.02€ full ring 6 tables at once. I am using HM2.
I noticed few spots that I could steal blinds almost 100% of the time with any two.
Also ocationally I was 3-beting stealers quite flat.
But the biggest wins or losses came from big pocket pairs so far. I will post few hands that is the most proffitable/expensive and not so streight forward:

SB: $2.46 (123 bb)
BB: $0.72 (36 bb)
UTG+2: $3.05 (152.5 bb)
MP1: $2.98 (149 bb)
MP2: $2.03 (101.5 bb)
Hero (MP3): $2.02 (101 bb)
CO: $2.23 (111.5 bb)
BTN: $2.04 (102 bb)

Preflop: Hero is MP3 with A K
UTG+2 raises to $0.06, 2 folds, Hero raises to $0.18, 4 folds, UTG+2 calls $0.12

OK so he called.

Flop: ($0.39) A 9 Q (2 players)
UTG+2 bets $0.04, Hero raises to $0.35, UTG+2 raises to $0.66, Hero calls $0.31

OK he raises my raise. But my initial raise was like a normal bet. That 0.04bet is like a check isnt it? So After he raises me to 0.66 should I know that I am beaten? Or it depends? And how often I can be ahead in this spot? I mean overall. I have a top pair top kicker. Can It be profitable to call? OK so I just call..

Turn: ($1.71) 3 (2 players)
UTG+2 bets $0.12, Hero raises to $0.68, UTG+2 raises to $1.24, Hero calls $0.50 and is all-in

Here is the same thing like on the flop. But my 0.68 was bet for value. Should I play check - fold? After he reraises Maybe in this spot I knew I was beaten. But still the pot was so hudge and I needed only 50 cents to call.

River: ($4.07) 6 (2 players, 1 is all-in)

Results:

I lost a big stack here. What did I do wrong? Is it always wrong to make such assuptions? Which are exactly my assuptions wrong?

BB: $2.27 (113.5 bb)
UTG+2: $0.74 (37 bb)
Hero (MP1): $2.05 (102.5 bb)
MP2: $2.48 (124 bb)
MP3: $0.02 (1 bb)
CO: $1.34 (67 bb)
BTN: $1.49 (74.5 bb)

Preflop: Hero is MP1 with K K
UTG+2 folds, Hero raises to $0.06, MP2 calls $0.06, MP3 folds, CO calls $0.06, 3 folds

Flop: ($0.21) 4 2 T (3 players)
Hero bets $0.14, MP2 calls $0.14, CO folds

Turn: ($0.49) 7 (2 players)
Hero bets $0.24, MP2 calls $0.24

River: ($0.97) 6 (2 players)
Hero bets $0.35, MP2 raises to $0.80, Hero calls $0.45

Untill now I only bet for value but after he rasies I am pritty sure he has a flush. But again its not expensive for me to call? or it is expensive? How to determine? Maybe I shouldnt call any raises on the river at all cause its indicating veyr srong hand but on the other hand... if I always fold to river raises ppl begin to exploit me.. even with the overpair?

The next question would be should I know taht I am beaten if he raises me like that on the turn?
or if he do something like that on the flop?

Results:

and the last one

Preflop: Hero is SB with K A
UTG+1 folds, UTG+2 raises to $0.06, 5 folds, Hero raises to $0.18, BB folds, UTG+2 calls $0.12

Flop: ($0.38) 6 Q A (2 players)
Hero bets $0.19, UTG+2 raises to $0.44, Hero folds

Results:

Maybe I made a mistake because I folded here? Maybe I folded a best hand? But I was pritty paranoyed with that AK geting into something bigger. Should I call at least 1 street? or maybe 2 streets? or even all the 3?
Asume I call 1 street what shoiuld I do if he best again? call again or give up?
And there is no point in calling on the flop if I am giving up instantly o the turn. Or am I wrong?

IT seems its a long long way to my goal..

he how is it going? We're missing your update in our https://forums.pokerstrategy.com/forum/thread.php?threadid=326222&goto=firstnew !

1st hand: raise on the flop is fine, however the one on the turn seems more spewy :-(
3rd hand: puh, i struggle with these,too. Probably ingame i would call and then FML for whatever turn card comes.

OK here my report..
This is a graph overall so I will be updating it every week.

Todays session was pritty lucky and I didnt make any big mistakes.
It seems my game is improving. After this session I should reach silver level.

He Balltas,

thanks for the graph - for the purpose of our weekly update in the news, we'd need it a bit less graphic, more numberwise. Have a look:
