    please dont state you cant beat it after a day or 2, give it the few weeks your allowing youself.

    best of luck,

    I'm glad you're confronting the fact you can't beat 4NL rather than just saying 'no-one respects my raises' etc. I'm sure you know all this but basically, raise with big hands, fold non-big hands, bet when you have hit and think you're ahead. Don't bother semi-bluffing with flush draws etc, but just check and call (if you have the odds).

    Hi mate, i had been playing that level for a while, you tend to get people not knowing hw to play positions and do usually play really bad, i find it best to sit back, hope to bump into an agressive player and to jst limp no matter what hand u have into the pot. let them do the betting, this way you will save on your stack just incase things do go wrong. just remember that they do hit crazy luc on all-ins on the turn on hope that the river brings them the pot.

    they dont think , the just chuck their cash about anywhere. also on the button and you have deacent cards , bump the pot up all depending on how many peeps are in as its the best play. im o Action 5p/5p games now and bankroll is getting quite healthy. was playing 2/4p for too long and getting annoyed with people clueless to the game lol.

    Anyway good luck and just remembe rthat plenty of donks do play those kinds of levels. 5p/10p sometimes u get desprate players which is a bonus as they see a pot say £4 and try allini bluffing it as they cannot leave the money. more cash for the bankroll for you ;). play the players :D. Good luck on the tables son.

    No - please DO and let us know on channel 865 how you get on

    gl luck IDONKCALLU.
    Try copying the hand without the title. Sometimes it works better for that. even stopping where you go down to before pressing copy on hands can have an effect.
    I don't play much cash so i'll see how you get on for tips etc. GL at the tables...
  • edited April 2012
    Don't know what the hand was, but I think from your comments, you were betting big, getting it in when you were good and then got rivered, so there's no point even posting it, just put it behind you and get it in good again.

    I think he said he's only playing for a few days so unless he puts some SERIOUS hours in and does some SERIOUS multi-tabling, then 8 BIs is a pretty decent increase over a very short period, accounting for variance.

    Pressures on now Ry Ry!
