3% for tournaments - £7.50
5% for cash tables - £12.50
but as i said before i want to make £40 on 4nl to prove the level can be beat so i start the challenge today
my thoughts on the 4nl level is simple as many tables as pos to iron out the big variance experianced at this level
I wouldn't suggest any more than 6 tables to start because you want to get a few notes on people, I have notes on people that they will call a big overshove on the river with 2nd pr on a straightening and flushing board for instance. Some people stack off super light (probably about 70% of people at 4NL to be fair lol) but you need to know which ones they are and which ones are sitting there multi-tabling and waiting for AK or JJ+
People keep talking about variance at 4NL, but I don't think it's really that much higher variance than any other forms of the game. The key thing in 4NL is that you aint going to be really aggressive with draws, you aint gonna be bluffing etc, so you're mostly gonna be getting it in when you're good and may have to dodge an out or two, so it's really not half as swingy as people say.
For instance, the last 5 sessions I've played have all been in profit (I aint running good), and they've all contained coolers or mistakes from me where I've lost 1-2 BIs during the session, but if you stick at it and do the right things, it shouldn't be too hard to grind your way out of it and still come out with a profit. As they say, every bit of profit you make is directly in line with whether your opponent makes more mistakes than you and how big their mistakes are, and at this level, some people will make horrendous mistakes like calling a shove with just a gutshot.
gl at the tables.
Run good.
biggest lose hand
tbh none of these hands put me in a good light
Hand 2 is completely horrific, even if I raised and someone made this move with 50BB I would snap fold, for 150BB it's just not even worth considering under any circumstances. So looks like it could have been £16 profit if not for that horrific call lol.
But yeah, that's what I said in my post but I think yuo'd already started when I posted it, there are enough bad players to get back anything you might lose from coolers/mistakes you make.
Well played and nice work for your first session.
MODS PLEASE!
hand 2 yea very bad call on my part but in my defence i thought the guy went allin for alot less and he had been allin 4 hands in a row so fancied the gamble as i put him very wide was correct but i dont think i make that call again. for everythin that people say i saw some good play by a few players. and obv your odd wild player but i dont understand why people get so anoyed i saw a player "donk" themselves upto about £12 and then went on to bleed it all back to table
hand 2 if i fancy a gamble i take it v this villain, they do this with a lot worse.
might want to remove names from the hh
what i really want to know is this the sort of thing people do at this level that is disrespectful and will see losses or is it a good move due to the way i thought bout it
as it was min raise call call i can easy say my opponents are not holding anything as strong as ak or mid pairs to top pairs as i would have seen a raise.
as said above few of these players ive seen making big calls pre with weak aces and weak kings
so good or bad?
so total profit for my first day at the tables in my new challenge is £18.62 bringing my bankroll to £269.88
and brings me to almost half my £40 target profit in the 4nl
another session done on the 4nl level down

total profit of £10.86 so for my first day of the challenge im in total profit of £29.48 puts my br to £280.74
balance £284.11
yeah the points are poor, i used to play a lot at nl4 and i could hit 4k points even with it being only 1 point per 20 hands. pre january it was 2 per 20 hands but the re jigged the points at all the levels. to say i was a little gutted was an understatement
Playing under 2 different names is cheating for me
