Probably the best play. If he is nit preflop that means he is a great player postflop ?
actually nits usually are bad players postflop, but since their ranges are so strong they will just happen to have the best hand pretty often

It means he presumably isn't bluffing very much and has a very strong range. Doesn't neccessarily mean he's good postflop, but usually they don't make too many crazy stuff since they have a tight range to begin with. He has more hands that we are behind against than hands that we are ahead against. As Tomaloc says we're at best splitting. Don't try to figure out WHY people use these sizings, what we know is 1) he is nitty and tight 2) he is betting huge and general population read is that this big bet on these limits = really strong nuthand (in my opinion AK or better (AA, JJ, KK AsQs))
You guys are right, I know his range is very tight. Maybe I have to stop picking up with beting sizes. OTT normaly I would fold , but his bet sizes cought me in the pot. Turns out that I have cought him with a bluff this time. SPOILER ALERT - results orientated 
Time for a update from start of the year. From now I will post charts only at the end of a week. The week starts Monday, ends Sunday.
I will try to make some updates during the week with some hands and something I think it's worth mention.
From the start of the year I feel like I evolved strategy wise, I'm sure what to do in a certain spot. I studied a lot lately about preflop ranges, steal, 3B pots. I still have a lot more to learn and study but I have to absorb all this knowledge in my game first.
Ok, now lets see some charts and stats.
Year volume: 12862/360000 hands

Getting closer to NL10. Have fun at the tables.

Week 12-18 IAN 2015
Not a great week at all. I have not had enough time to study, but tried to put a decent volume and I'm pleased with that. I added one more table and now I'm playing 7 tables and this is quite fine because I will increase my volume. Hopefully next week I will have more time to study because I need it.

Week 19-25 IAN 2015
Well, things were better this week and I finally moved up to NL10.
I did a database review on the hands I played at NL5 with the help of few friend and didn't spot huge leaks.
Here is the chart and stats on the limit. If you guys spot some leaks in these please tell me. I know I can do better in 3B-ing more hands, but people at this limit flat call 3Bets a lot more.

I cannot guarantee that this is true, but I had noticed that if you don't spot any huge leaks by the stats only, then the problem is postflop.
Sick run at NL10. What happened?
Well, you are right, I have leaks preflop and postflop for sure. My overall play has leaks, but I don't have the experience to notice which are very bad.
Tilt, bad play and bad run happened at NL10. I have to work more on my gameplan.
Another great blog I'll be following!!
I love how you've broken down you goals and even sub goals taking a run at the next level when you've made a set amount of BI you've made for yourself. Very smart and creative. If you don't mind I may steal that one from you!
I've been bouncing back and forth between NL2 and NL5 and actually just jumped back down to NL2 again myself and working my way up as we speak.
Great work and again, love the blog.
Hey, thanks for following.
Have to respect a Bankroll management if I don't want to go broke. Everybody should do that.
Good luck and hope you move up again very soon. I've been following you aswell 
@Gwiazda02 Hey, thanks for being here. Good luck !
IAN 2015
Well, the first month of the year has passed. I had a good month in general, I was able to give a shot at NL10, even if it did not end well, I'm on schedule with all the goals that I have set this year.
I started working on my game more. In recent days I started to build a general strategy plan for post-flop play . It's pretty much a whole lot of work at it, but I hope to carry out in the following month. Thanks for those who take the time to pass, read and give me any feedback here . Good luck to all at the tables!

Oh, I just read through your blog, I thought you said your Englsih wasn't good?! Pfff, better than a lot of native speakers I can tell you!
Have fun hitting your targets to.
Best regards and finally reading

Hey there,
I see that You are crushing NL5, sorry about the NL10 downswing, but that's just another school for us, it's important You learn as much as possible from it, and then You can consider those 100$ as an investment in your poker knowledge, and not as a downswing (I had a bunch of those "investments" @NL10).
We must have ran into each other @ NL5, I have been there for the last 40 days. Hope to see You back @ NL10 soon.
P.S. I don't know if this will help, but I learned that mixing regular tables and zoom can sometimes really confuse me, so maybe You should choose one of those. I went to zoom to practice more aggressive 3betting, and now I'm back to regular tables.
GL @ the tables
Hey guys, thanks for your kind words. Good luck with your goals and have fun at the tables. ♠_drink: 
@nmilan84> I think I saw you at the tables, but I don't remember any specific read on you. Problably I have few hands, because of the large number of regulars and my table selection.
Yeah, i mixed up regular tables with zoom. I don't play regular and zoom at the same time, but I realized that I have to play two diferent strategy styles and you are right, it's kind of confusing. I'm always saying to myself to not enter in zoom games anymore, but I find myself there sometimes LOL. I have now about 2 weeks away from the zoom, yay.
With a bit of luck I should play NL10 again after next week.
