Short answer: At the moment, you don't.
As a basic member, you're limited in what you can do — You can't post link either for example.
For a full description of the points system see: https://www.pokerstrategy.com/status-points/
The easiest way to bronze status is to take advantage of bonus offers or perhaps one of the free money offers. Failing that, it is possible to purchase points If you purchase points, you get all the privileges of the elevated level — including all strategy articles and videos until the end of the month following . After that, you go back to bronze, and will never go below that again.

Until you're bronze, just put the picture on an image sharing service, and put its URL into your post.
Change the http:// part to http:.. and some friendly mod will fix it for you once or twice.

After you're bronze, just drag the image file into your post

All the best,
VS

You can always post hands on our Hand discussions for No Limit board. Than we can discuss about some of those hands.

I can't post photos thou. But those hands that I lost, I literally knew what hand that had, then I either bet into them or call them. Hahaha...

You can read the https://forums.pokerstrategy.com/forum/thread.php?threadid=267242 thread how you can post hands without using a image. I only don't know how GG Poker works with hand history on you're computer.

Welcome redbullhat and good luck with your challenge.

+68$ on 2NL after 2 weeks is quite impressive :profit:

Which transportation do you use for going to work?

Hello H0witzer,

Thanks for the encouragement.
For me to get to work I gotta take a train and the change to a bus. Which would be about 1hr15mins on way.
So I would be playing for about 2h30min during journey. Then in the evening I would play on avg of an hour before I sleep.

Let's say in a SB vs bb situation.

Scenario 1:
Hero is SB with AA/KK.
How much to raise?

Scenario 2:
Hero is BB with AA/KK
How much to raise?

There is less chance that I can 3bet in this situation. So sometimes I just shove pre.

Spoiler: and I still get called by 63o 120bb deep. Run 3 times, lose all. Hahhahaha.

That's really crazy, but in normal situations I would raise 3x in position against a SB and raise a little bit more of around 3,5bb when I play in the SB against the BB to give villain bad odds to call in position.

Thanks for sharing your view. Also I think sometimes at nl2, ppl would also just call 3bet 4bets with atc.

Anyone has any free online resources that I can read or watch?

You're right in one sense though — most people playing NL 2 just don't care about $2.
It is far more difficult to play disciplined poker at NL 2 than at NL 25 (for me anyway)

As for free online resources, start here: No Limit Hold'em lessons overview. You can skip some articles, but even if you've been playing a while they make a good review. Make no mistake though, those articles are strictly "ABC" style poker, which will carry you through NL 5 fairly well. Live begins at 10

End of week 3 updates

After my midweek update, br continued to roll down to about 80. Decided to stop and read up more on post flop plays. Saw a lot of things that I could have done. So over the weekend I headed back to the tables BUT (still Abit of tilt) I went to nl5 instead.
I found myself doing better than i did on postflops.
End the week with a br of 129.85
I will continue at nl5 I guess at this stage.
