NL10 by end of the year (hopefully) :)

Posted 8 years ago

Hi guys.
I will write something about myself.
I started playing poker about one year ago but had 5 months of becouse i was busy.But anyway poker is great fun Smile i started NL2 at PS.Made some open ranges and keep playing.Not so much hands i think in total just around 50k.I will have a bit of time and want to try push myself to play around 1k hands a day of ZOOM at PS becouse i am working and i think most of poker rooms will be strugling with players during my playing hours.I set up my goal to try play NL10 till end of this year so lets see how it will go.
My goals for this month is : play 25-30k hands and keep my stats somewhere around 20/17/5 if i will have some winnrate it will be big plus.My bankroll is 200usd and i will start with NL5 hopefully i will stay there and not go down to NL2 Smile

another day done in my challenge.I had some bad stupid calls at river but i think the price wasnt that bad to make them.I was a bit lucky when i made my hands specially top sets against 2 pairs so opponents wanted pay me nicely what i like Smile overal today plus 5,5 buyins.
I played nearly 2k hands,Closed a bit my ranges from UTG and MP.I think i will need open more my CO,BTN ranges.3bet is overall close to 7% which i think is ok.VPIP 19 and PFR 16 these can be a higher but with hands comming in i think i will be opening more hands.
I feel much confortable at the moment.I think the time of from poker helped me.Had a time for watching videos of coaches here and think about my game.
here are my stats from today

my overall graph is also taking shape

time to read and learn some new stuff

ok so i decide to give a shot at NL10 and it wasnt that much different as NL5.Once i came back to play NL5 i was doing stupid calls becouse the price of calls wasnt that much but i forgot i am not playing NL10 Smile i came back than to NL10 and feel ok.My stats was still a bit low 19/16/6 maybe just the cards are not comming yet to opening more hands.Will see once i will have more hands still just around 6k this month.My redline is not so bad which i am surprised couse from the time before redline were going down as crazy.Hope it will stay like this.I will play during the week NL5 i think i am not sure if there will be that much fishy players as during weekends and bankroll is just around 240usd.If i will come up to 300usd or a bit more i will be playing NL10.Minimum 30buyins will be safe i think.Posting my graph

I was thinking that guy has god some kind of flush or straight thats why i choosed overbet river specially when he called reraise on turn.Once he reraised me on river i put him on K9 or 89 or maybe Ahigh flush which are possible hands from BTN but i am not sure if its possible fold FH here.Once he showed 99 uuups nice flop only if 7 will come on river it would be even better Laugh
I was feeling well like i lost FH against 4 of kind yeah sometimes its happen but i know there is many ppl which will pay me with their Ahigh flush
Than i received 4bet from player which was opening 41%from BTN and fold 7times from 7 when he was facing 3 bet but he decide 4bet me and i decide sit out on next BB turn it of and will turn on some coaching stuff here Smile
Dont need pushing it hard once the game is not going in my way.
More important for me is that i feel better on NL10.My redline started going up a bit,bluffs working a bit better,maybe becouse ppl at NL10 are playing more with ranges.But lets see where it will go
Posted 8 years ago
I took a little bit of break,went for dinner to town and come back.Turn on tables for a bit before i will watch another coaching and i had really nice hot run

i had similar situation as before flop FH but thanks god not against 4 of kind again Smile

Hey, good luck on your journey! Are you planning on staying on 10NL for a while? Have you got any plans on moving from stars and trying to get some rake back on a different site? as you seem to have good volume.

Which country are you from? GL on your journey. I will be following!
Posted 8 years ago
Thanks BarraBod Smile
Yeah i think i will stay for a bit at NL10 couse i need have 30 buyins for next limit.Want see how this challenge will go this month and if i will be able stay at NL10 or i will need move back to NL5.
I think i will stay couple of weeks at stars for sure and than maybe will try some other rooms.From past i had problems playing in rooms like UniBet or PartyPoker.Maybe it was becouse i was thinking there is not same traffic and i am playing egainst better players than me,or software wasnt suite to me as good as stars but i startet tilting.
I have at the moment just one plan finish this month with 30k hands or more.Try play more hands from BTN,CO and SB to put my stats a bit higher couse still struggling at 19/16 and on regular tables which i am planning playing later want have around 22/20.
But yeah i will try other rooms later couse many ppl saying they are softer than stars.
I am from Slovakia

The best thing about stars is the software and the traffic! Sometimes its hard for people to move from it. UniBet is VERY soft, but HUDs aren't allowed and reviewing hands is not easy. Its fun to play on tho as its made for weaker players Wink I still play there for fun if I get bored. There are plenty other sites you can choose from if you do decide to try something else anyway.

There are loads of videos on PokerVip for 10NL (which I'm sure you've already noticed), I would always recommend watching those. Do you put a lot of time in to studying, or is it mostly playing?

I had just quick session today at NL10 just around 400 hands couse were busy and feel tired.Still managed profit 1 buy in at NL10.I feel like i am playing better poker at NL10.Pushing myself to think more about what i am doing and why i am doing it.My bluffs are working way better,maybe becouse of better players which dont want call reraise at turn with bottom pair(sometimes happend at NL5) Last days of NL5 i was thinking i am going beat this limit like pro and to be honest i played like big fish Laugh 6 days in this month and i have around 7500 hands so i am on good way to manage 30k till end of the month

This is my graph.Around 5k hands i started playing NL10
I hope cards will be good to me as they are till now and all will go smooth Smile
Time to turn some coaching and sleep.Hopefully i will have more time tomorrow for cards
Posted 8 years ago
I think my problem is i started with stars and played there for couple of months.Maybe if i started at UniBet i will like more UniBet but deffo i will try some other rooms once i will decide i am good enough in poker and can handle without tilting different software and short stackers at tables Smile
I had some break from poker couse of the work on my property with my best friend.But i am lucky that friend showed me poker.I remember that time when we were playing NL2 at stars and once we started beating it we were feeling like pros :D.Than we came to NL5 and we were really bad again Smile
So last 6 months i was just watching coaching here,probably i saw all micro videos.We were talking most of the time in work about poker with my friend.

I am away from home now and i have couple of free hours,playing around 90 minutes 2 zoom tables daily which is enough to catch 1k hands and than watching coaching videos.I think its 50/50 at the moment.I think in last 6 months i made a good progress in study.Its time to test it on tables.So far so good Smile

Have you tried the new Unibet software yet?
Posted 8 years ago
No not yet but from what i can see in videos its looking ok.I also like bet victor tables Smile i will try unibet maybe next month how is traffic there couse i have already account there.
I just dont want try anther rooms before i will have some hands under my belt Smile
Once i will feel confty i will try another rooms.Signing bonuses are always best Laugh

Haha easy mistake Wink
A few guys on here started poker journeys on here, when they made a UniBet account. They tried to see how far they could get with their €12 starting bonus. Might be worth trying for fun as some people did quite well.

first part of my today session is done,played around 700hands.My stats are going a bit higher and i was finally today at 20/17 Smile
i was unlucky once with my KK allin at turn against QQ but river came Q.I wasnt sure how i will handle it,but not really good.In next couple of hands i had KJ and flop came KJ8 where i cbet and received reraise.I think becouse i lost KK before i had a bit of till and reraise to allin and guy showed 88.I lost my head.Normaly i think i will play just call that reraise and decide at turn what i will be doing.Sooooo it was good lesson but appart of this hand with KJ i think i played really solid poker.
graph from today 700 hands

and my graph from this month is looking good.I really like this redline.Redline is not going up becouse i am overbetting my value hands,but mostly with bluffs which is good Smile

I was thinking come and play solid at NL10 will be really hard for me and maybe will take me couple of months.I dont know if i am just lucky at the moment but i am really enjoying this limit Smile
