And it's not tilt in that I start going crazy raising with junk/ calling pre with any2 it's like anti-tilt so I start playing even tighter lol
Rather than start another BR thread on NL4 I,ll just post on here - Helps me focus more at this level if I,m posting my results
Gonna give Dohhhh,,a blog another read before a cpl of hours on the tables
BR £150 1450 pts
BR £169.08 1677pts
Gl with playing at this level m8, But seriously if you wish to make money! keep to tournies and sit n gos avoid all the lowest stakes cash games like the plague and once you get a bank roll like 150 quid or sumthing start taking shots at NL10 and 5 quid tourneys!
I really don't mean any offence here but that's rubbish.
Of course you can have a strategy to play and beat NL4. Many players who now play much higher on this site started off at NL4.
Might as well wack 100 quid in your accout and play NL10 than wasting long hours of your day grinding to 2 quid profit ....
Also there is much more to learn in 1-1 sit n gos and 6 max since you are forced to play and not to sit back and wait for AA.........Honestly listen to me here ..i talk S hit a lot of the time but this time im right!
Also much of the same strategy you use to play NL4 profitably you should be doing to play NL10 profitably.
So to say stick £100 in your account and then go and play NL10 is a bit wrong. You would have 10 buyins. If you're still learning how to play cash then that's not enough.
Heads up is totally different to 6max cash. S'nG games are totally different too.
I hope someone who wants to progress in poker to stick to tournies and sit n gos when they first start off as it does help your game a lot, and avoid the lower levels of cash.
ACIDMAN stick to nl4 m8 ......
Those two disciplines require different skills just the same as playing cash requires different skills.
Then as you work through the cash levels you need to adjust your cash game again.
Don is a great MTT player and seems to be a good HU player too so to improve his cash game he needs to start from the bottom and work his way up.
I agree with you that when you first start playing then SnG's are great and probably the best way to learn the basics.
You'll need to adapt your strategy in all formats of poker whether it's SnGs, MTTs, cash at micro stakes, or cash at higher levels but if there was no winning strategy at 4NL then surely there would be no consistent winners at 4NL which obviously is not the case
Alot of people do not want to just whack £100 into a poker website when they're very new to the game. 4NL is an excellent way of learning the basics and building up a bankroll so you can step up the levels using good BRM as everyone should. I've used it to get from £20 to £200, now I'm moving onto 8NL and 10NL, I don't see the problem. I'll probably beat 8NL and 10NL until I get to around £400-£500, which shouldn't take more than a month or two, then have a go at 20NL, what is the problem with this?
On a side point, some people just play for fun and actually don't WANT to move up the levels and play 4NL, leave them to it.
Day Three - Update
I forgot to upload results from yesterday so this is a little catch up. Im also going to use this post to reply to some recent comments.
Yestdarday happened to be my mates 21st so i was confident of getting some play in however much though was a mystery. He came up in the morning to drop off the lager and while he was away at his mums for his meal i got on the grind.
This was a largley disappointing session tbh. I was cooking while playing and hit Auto post and wait for Big Blind. This is the result of that.
However the session did get better and some winning moment did come.
However as always theres losing and winning.
This hand below (number marked 3.) i see situations alot like this and is it standrad for me to call the shove with the stacks the way they are, or should i just past my card to the dealer ?
Looking back ive not posted all hands from winning or losing but more the ones that could be discussed. I think ive made a large chunk of errors. Obviously not helped by firstly cooking and secondly eating.
I did get 90 mins in before my mate returned.
Closing Balance: £39.20
In reply to the last few threads aswell. Im simly playing NL4 because im skint. I also need to work on the basics of my game. As some people have said ive played MTTs fr a long time and really ive forgotten the basics.
2. nh
3. Raise bigger pre, raise bigger flop, raise the turn. How many times can one guy get AA...
4. Don't know if you were away again but I raise pre. Overbet the flop as played. I might fold turn, I definitely c/f river.
5. I'm calling this, personally, short stacked people at this level should with ANYTHING sometimes. I've had people shove 3bet me with K4.
6. Ul to be up against AK but I fold river here to that massive overbet... you do only have top pair with an ok kicker (I know it's 4NL but still lol)
So was this a losing session in the end? or about break even?
What stakes do you play m8........how mutch money do you make? not mutch i take it players like you are prop stuck in a rut, afraid of taking chances, and are not progressing their game.
In Response to Re: taking on NL4 diary: What has this got to do with how much money I make and what levels I play at ?
You came into a discussion about microstakes cash to tell people to forget playing microstakes cash and concentrate on SnG's and HU.
If you need to improve your cash game and you're not rolled to play any higher levels then surely the best advice is to play NL4.
You can be more aggressive at taking shots at the next level once you're happy enough with your cash game.
cash and sns are different granted, but theres more thinking in sit n gos at lower levels, thinking that helps with cash as well as sng
