Ask questions from a micro cash coach

Could you sum up what are the main differences between each microstakes fields or is there not really to take into account in your opinion ?
I mean say like "here at NL5 you must beware of such and such stuffs that weren't quite important at NL2" and then the same for NL10 etc.
(But at the same time it's important to have a global game plan that doesn't rely too much on a pecular exploitative cliche I suppose.)

I don't play the .com but the huge stylistic gap between NL10 and NL25 in my field keeps amazing me.

@la55i Sounds like a nice idea !
Even if i'm not into CGs i'll watch it.

Best of Skills & Luck @ Tables,
OldSchoolPapa.

Thanks guys
Hopefully we get many good topics to discuss about.
The questions don't have to be about cash games specificly, but just poker in general. I can think of some topics that could be interesting to both cash and tourney players

Why would one even consider becoming a CG pro in 2019, when MTTs and spins are all the rage, and there are still plenty of experienced CG regs who're used to their main game and won't leave it easily?

Then maybe an idea to dig into and i get troubles to deal with usually in Tournaments (SNGs/MTTs) but i assume the same goes for CGs.I understand the need and the use of a HUD but i have hard time to figure out when the data displayed becomes relevant and accurate.
For instance on STTs when you play against Regulars(good or bad ones) you have enough samples of data to make it relevant to use but when you face let's say unknow opponents or recreatives i've troubles to figure out from wich point i can start to rely a bit more on HUD stats so in those situations except the very basic stats i only rely on my game and also how to define that point depending on games played. That could be nice to develop a bit the topic for CGs as well.
On crypto shady rooms no big deal i can collect as much data i want and in every way i can think of but on legit rooms i can't.
Not that i really can't but it would break T&Cs Rules wich i don't want to.
Well not sure it was clear in the explaination but that's just an idea.

Kind Regards,
OldSchoolPapa.

Two topics I would like to see explored:

Multi-way pots OOP with strong draws/hands.
Probe betting ranges.

This, would u say it is still worth to create and learn and work and a good CG-Gameplan and try to move up the stakes grinding CG

3bet pots OOP
MW pots indeed
reacting to donks, min bets or min 3bets

Thanks guys, you give me a lot of ideas for future videos
However, in this video the idea was that I would be going through many different things that trouble your mind. Some of the questions (or actually they look more like topic suggestions) like 3bet pot OOP or playing mw pots could be so broad that those would fill the whole video.

We'll see how many questions we have here and how much we can fit in the video, but as I said I try to reply those in this thread in any case. So keep them coming

What can i do away from tables to Play my range and not my hand?

What exercise helped you best to improve?

How can i write down my gameplan without having additional Software?

You play .es right? I play also alot on .es and in my oppinion there is no difference between NL10 and NL25. Basically the same counts for NL50. I havent saw many good regs. In the NL50 HU Zoom pool there are sometimes ok regs but they are also not very good. (But playing weak regs in a high rake enviorment can make it tough) Its insane soft in equal to .com
Just play super exploitive and forget your GTO stuff against fish. At least dont make GTO calls betting is ok but calling is obviously burning money.

You speak about HU, me about SH, and I didn't say one stake was good and not the other. I said the difference in the global tendencies of the 2 fields amazes me. Nl10 is nitland weaktight slowplay and NL25 is much more aggressive, loose, spazzy and bluffy. So even if at NL25 there might be more decent regs I like it better because my personal playstyle is much more efficient versus the lag side of the force when we talk about fishes, and there are still quite enough of them there.

Those are good questions if I ever heard some.

No, I talk about 6max. NL10 6max .es is the same like NL25 its super soft. Even on NL50 6max you have mostly 2-3 fish. But yes sometimes the software sits you at a table full of regs. Then just play the 12 hands and after that choose a new table. But dont close the table with the regs otherwise then can sit you again on this table. just close it when you have found a good one.

We are clearly not playing the same tables lol (but yeah the new anti-table selection sucks). And I suppose you never play zoom. Anyway enough with that, it's not the point of the thread, sorry la55i.
You're more than welcome to keep up the discussion on skype though, oh captain my captain

Yea you are right, not the main idea of this thread to have long debates, but it is an interesting topic for sure. What makes it difficult to answer your question is that the population tendencies could depend on many different things such as poker site, player pool (if you are not able to play on the main pool) and whether it is 6max or FR.
I must admit that I don't have that much experience outside of pokerstars main pool, except now I have tested iPoker a bit and it seems to be a little bit softer.

I have a random question/comment, related to anything at all: when was the last time we shared hand histories from differents PS players playing coincidentals limits+sites to infer player pool general behaviour and derive some best pratices from that?

Is something like that still even possible? I mean, nowadays we play so differently from each other that sometimes I wonder even if we combined tracker dbs would that data make any sense? Or it would be so depending on how the player pool reacts to our own tendencies and how we particularly play some spots, that the merged data wouldn't represent anything meaningful?

Why am I thinking about that? Because I've read many times that players of limit X or Y usually do A or B, but I wonder how much of that is truly based on evidences (data) rather than on sujective "feels"?

A video with those best pratices and how fancy we should be when approaching those micro limits, based on huge amounts of data, would be welcome, IMHO.

Under Stars' rules for third party tools and services, it's prohibited to import large amounts of histories of those hands where the user wasn't dealt in. (Even the import of observed hands is limited to 30 per session in PT4, and they're never included in the DB, can only be used for table selection during the session.) Therefore, sharing specifically Stars / Full Tilt hand histories en masse is shady.

Other sites that write HHs to the disk at all are less strict on this matter, iirc.

I see. I wasn't aware of that.
Always thought hands played by you were yours to do anything you pleased with them.
