Hi Guys and Pokerstrategy,

first off I'd like to say thankyou for the $50!

second my progress:

1. I have been sticking to 2nl on partypoker. My screen name is O_Pareidolia. I am currently losing 118bb/100..... lol.

2. I used to play a lot on Full Tilt, and have so far lost 6k of my own money playing HU 50nl. however, I found that I can short stack, and play anonymous tables on Party Poker, and have found some huge fish. I played with $10 twice and won $40 and $200 respectively on the HU. It was good variance as well I must admit, hitting sets, top pair with better kickers against his kickers etc... only 388 hands and 118bb/100 profit. So a lot of good luck.

I feel my leaks are these:
1. when I get bored, I make mistakes. Huge mistakes. Get tilty, you name it.
2. Not sticking with the starting hand chart that Pokerstrategy provided. when i was, i was slowing making a profit. THis is my vent before I go back and I try to stick with a winning strategy.
3. I know that the 50nl is a tilty, gambling move, and I really dont want to do it. I want to learn to crush 2nl, and move up, but I have a lot of gamble in me, which hurts my BR.

what i need help with:
1. I find on 2nl that EVERYONE (well nearly) love to raise preflop with AJ+ and 88+. And they ALWAYS cbet no matter what the hell flop it is. So far, I have been 3 betting postflop nearly every pot I feel that player is not a very good player. Most times they fold. Does anyone know if this is +EV? or should I be more selective to 3bet the flop? most times im in position and will not 3bet with a hand with 0 equity. However, I get called by AA and sets sometimes, while getting shoved on sometimes. Sometimes I call with top pair, and I think maybe half have it, or Half get married to the hand and cant lay it down.

2. What threads are there on this site that I can read about beating 2nl?

Im sorry, im pretty tired, so I know ive definately rambled!!!!

Thanks for the help you guys, and if you have played me and want to leave criticism, ANYTHING postive or negative is much appreciated!!!

thanks guys!

First off, keep away from the NL50 and Heads up tables.

Play full ring, because as a beginner you need to begin at the basic foundations.

Don't play any limit that you don't have 25 buy ins for:

$50 - 2NL
$125 - 5NL
$250 - 10NL
