Hi!
i just started to play poker again and this time my goal is to become a better player and manage to move upp from the micros.
right now i am playing the NL5 stake on pokerstars. its going pretty well but i have only played 11k hands so i dont relly know if im beating thh stake yet.
I am going to post some hands and some graphs along the way and hoping that you guys will help me with my play.
Here is a graph from my first 11k hands. im doing pretty good but it may be just running good idk.
Hello Hasseman92,
Good luck in your voyage in beating the micros. 
Impressive progress so far with your results too.
I look forward to reading future post. Subbed.
My regards
Matt
Hey Hasseman92,
11k hands is not a large sample, but that redline seems to suggest you are owning NL5. If you feel comfortable and your BRM allows it, you really should look at slowly introducing NL10 tables.
Keep Crushing

Thanks for the support guys!:f_thumbsup:
Forgott to mention yesterday that i only play fullring tables right now. Any pros/cons with that vs 6max?
I am going to play atleast 20k hands in NL5 first, but maybe i throw in 1 table of NL10 in each session. (4-6 multitabling)
Played for like 1h before work today. 5 tables NL5 and 1 NL10.
I don´t think there was so mush difference between the two stakes.
Going to try it out more this weekend.

what do you guys think of my play here with the Jacks?
What's your overall range for X/R'ing this flop and what hands do you expect villain to continue with?
I thought that villian 3betting sqeeze range could be QQ+, A2s-AKs, AKo. I tried a bluff checkraise because the only hands he could continue with is KK+ i think.

I think if he continues with KK+, then QQ+ is also in his calling range. Just not a fan of X/R on this flop. He folds all his bluffs and we just iso ourself V better. Top of our range is sets and we are mostly calling v his cbet.
The awkward thing i find with this hand is BTN is squeezing a 5x open from EP. usually that shows huge strength! which may be an argument to raising our sets on the flop. But we're also going to be oop 
maybe we can fold pre given his 3 bet size?

Lucky me...:f_mad:
played NL10 today, it went pretty well. I like playing on sundays because there is so much fish out there.
Total of 4 BI profit today.
One thing i noticed is that my red line started to drop after moving upp to NL10.
Is that normal?
