[Closed] 7buy ins in 1 day

Depends which strategy you are using. If you're using Short Stack, then by refusing to take "flips" you'll severely affect your profitability.

Post your hands in the "hand evaluation forums" and get an expert to tell you whether or not you made the right call in each situation.

Miss Variance is a utter bitch, though!

Playing BBS. I just posted my hands after today's appauling session hopefully will correct my mistakes or the hand judge will tell me I'm the most unluckiest person in the world^^ hopefully just mistakes I can correct..

Stop taking flips?

I'll flip my whole roll if I get QQ vs AK guaranteed.

dont avoid flips but try to put in as little favourite...or be the one who pushes to give villain some fold equiti

called running BAD!! happens to us all, it WILL turn around as long as you stick to good b/r mang. honest

Lost like 4 flips in a day I thought it would turn around but kept losing pots. so just left and having donked off half my BR..

Can't really avoid taking flips with QQ+ and depends on position but ill think about it next time about the fold equity thing but on NL2 i don't see many people folding.

There isn't much BR managment in NL2? only stop loss and stuff but can't help if it im losing flips pokers gods have been cruel! Anyways took this week off hope to study up and get back to the tables in a couple of days.

What you have to understand is that your not making money by winning the big pots on coolers. You get it in with your AA and the other guy has KK you actually lost money to rake since the next time it will be the other way around. Long term you make money playing better then your opponents and on micro's that mostly means valuebetting super thin since they wont fold anything. Just play solid poker and dont spew around and you'll beat nl2 in no time.

And there's really no way to avoid short term variance. Sometimes you just run like shit for a week. And not getting it in with AK or QQ is pretty stupid, especially on NL2 where they can show up with almost anything.

If u want a small sample i can post you my 6m graph of NL2 when i was 24 tabling. Not sure it will help that much.

I guess this is true but on micros like you said there's no way im not getting it in with AK and QQ+. Depends on Villain really. Usually ive seen regs shove against like 4 - 5 limpers with AA or KK hoping some1 will call with junk.

I've seen some 1 shove AJs from CO and BB calls with K4o

Really Depends on opponents.. as for bet bet bet when I have a hand I don't find many people pay me off unless your hand is super disguised.

I dunno Hopefully I can start improving and rebuilding on Thursday

I tried 24 tabling nl2fr for like 3 hours
I went broke preflop with JJ+,AK vs fishes, QQ+,AK vs tags, KK,AA vs like 10/7 guys. Also went broke with a good draw (fd+sd occasionally) on flop, tptk, set, didn't cbet turn when got called bc they like to call down when hit.

What kind of flips can you do with QQ+ except for QQ vs. AK ? lol
You WANT to get it in with QQ+, its not a flip

What's most likely to have happened here is a combination of variance, mega tilt and leaks ( and/or playing style that's unadjusted to the micro stakes). Check out the thread I started, I had the same problem. If you skip the initial trolling there's a healthy portion of good advice in there from the community: NL4 Party (almost) has me defeated - advice? [Stats&Graphs inside]

Work on your game, don't tilt (know when to quit, don't rage over lost coinflips), and watch videos. Google "13 Scariest Small Stakes Leaks Of All Time - Przytula - Poker Video" and watch it, I'm sure you'll benefit from it. The humour is quite cheesy, but the advice is really useful.

Good luck

And again today dropped a couple of buy ins vs a mega maniac

dunno why i called on the river tbh... should have got it in on flop

AA lost to TT all in pre.
QQ came up against AA twice.

fml.

First hand horrible played, limping behind and let him see a flop... Raise to atleast 5x here on nl2 preflop.

2nd hand... overplayed overpair.

Should raise to $0.10 preflop 1st hand.

Also you shouldn't be complaining about losing all-ins with the best hand, and QQ vs. KK or AA is kind of unavoidable unless you really know the villain, so don't worry about it.

Btw, where do you play? I need more fish like in those 2 hands ♠_cool:

Both hands you could have played better (raise JJ preflop, raise the small donkbet w/ QQ overpair, etc.).

However, your villains played horribly with almost zero equity. And you know it.

Guess what: they playing like this is the way you make money in poker. So you have to thank them for playing like this.

If they have 10 percent in equity, that's nothing, but they still win 1/10 of the times. The 8 surplus is where you make the money, so there is just one way to solve it: keep playing.

And 24 tabling NL2? Sorry, but that's a certain way of not improving your game. Mass tabling shouldn't be done before you have a solid game for small or even midstakes - because I think your goal should be improving your game, not on robot-printing coffee money. But anyway, this is a hobby afteral so I guess you should just do whatever makes you happy.
