Hi SDK1987,

thank you for your reply and your words.
First session after starting the blog

But for luck that was not the first session until i decided to quitt zoom and play regular tables.

So still no sample, but result is positive, which makes me optimistic, that i will be able to move up this year, even taking a shot when BR is at 115 €

Quite at the same spot. With low stakes I find its important to keep composure, the low amount money often feels diminishes the feeling of the value, leading to bad decisions. I try to think in BB, but its hard.

I've also noticed that since the very lowest stakes are full of maniacs, the variance is crazy. Bluffing doesnt work. I combated the problem by moving to the second lowest stakes. Its bad for BR management, but in the lowest stakes the variance and rake feel like to affect more.

Indeed. You need to make thin value bets, but bluffing is indeed a no go or you know villain is 1 of the better players at the micro's.

Hi Brodis,

yes it is a hard and variance is not always your friend. ♦
But i try to stick to my BRM, because i think that is one of the key factors to be successful in the long run.
So i try to adapt and hopefully will make some progress in the long run.

So time for an update.

the first 10k hands are played and the best thing i can say, I´m slightly up

I guess i have to play s lots of hands on NL2 before moving up.
It is hard that i have "some" loosiung sessions in a raw, but it seem to be the case that i do not make too many terrible plays, because EV-Line is up as well.
So lets play the next 10k hands an look again to the graph and the stats
=> It is one big session

Of course i want to improve, so i have to learn and the next topics i want do this are:

- betsizing
- stats (-> how many hands/situations are needed to make good exploits)

So if someone has got tips for articles or videos it would be nice if you can drop some helpful links here.

Hi Nazgos,

i was playing NL16 Zoom, i guess i was break even player as long there was rakeback available, but for the reason that i`m from germany no more rakeback at stars
I was winning player up to NL10 zoom

For some reason i decided now to quit zoom and go all the way back to higher limits.
That will take some time, but i can improve my game and make less (costly) errors on the lowest limits.

And another reason is, i do not want to put any more money in (will change if i go broke, than i will make a deposit again)

But actual the plan is:
=> Improving consistently and move up if BRM allows it.

Good luck bro, mine story is almost the same. never got out from nl2.
