If you can keep at least somewhat sustainable, you should move up pretty quickly

hey Man,

I joined a stable too almost because of the same reason.I can say that I am very glad that I joined this stable.I think not all of them are good but where I am I like it because i get 1on1 coaching at least 1 time a week and when you want to can request a coaching.It is personal stable and the don't send you tables and stuff for you to memorize.They work with you to develop the skill you need.

I wish you good luck and if you are not getting a reply or not accepted just PM me if you are still interested.

Good news!!!

I got a status upgrade, to Platinum, so now i got again a lot stuff to study.

Last week I had planed to stay away from the tables, so I could focus on some stuff I had to finish for the University.
I had only a 2 hr Session, in which I had a 10 BI downswing. I literally lost every hand. After session I studied all my All-In Situations and found out I was every time big favorite, including 2 All-In´s vs 2 gutshots and the only Hand I won was where I was underdog with 99 vs JJ.
Thats why I stopped the Session cause I didnt feel like to continue.

The rest of the week, except of my studies I also started watching and studying the Platinum HU-Hyper videos of the german community.

Today I had my first Session again, played about 100 Spins with a 12 BI profit, that felt good again. Although my Roll is over 700$ I think I will do tommorrow another Session on the 3$ level and if I feel after my first 10 Spins I do well ( playing + results) then I will hopefully attempt the 7 $ Level.

The reason why Im so sceptic on moving up, is that I dont want to be faced with a big downswing, cause it will hurt my Motivation ( any advices on that arey very welcomed). Im sure I have an edge over the Field of the 7$ level, since I have observed a lot of games, watched coaching videos of 7$ Level, and played about 5 games, on days where I was over 10BI up, luckily won 4of5.

I have also observed enough games of higher BI and I really think the majority of the player-pool are aggro gamblers. Is it possible? Or am I just still so bad to understand what they are doing???

But I dont want to focus on that yet, but more on my leaks, since I have 2 big ones and for sure other that I dont realise.
I still have problems in SB vs BB. Usually vs aggro players. I think I Lf and mr f a lot. Does anyone know whta numbers are OK?
Furthermore, in limped Pots oop, where I limp stab, and get called, I check down T & R when I have low or no equity, villains usually bet T or R and it rarelly goes to showdown. Should I barrell more often and with wider Range since population folds a lot to 2nd and 3rd Barrell? Or is it ok to not continue in such Situation? I get mad with myself, for every Pot that I dont win! Is this "healthy" ?

My Goals for the next 6 weeks, since I will have a lot more time to play Poker: Play min3000 Spins, try to fix as much as possible of those 2 Leaks I mentioned above, study all Platinum HU-Hyper videos of the german community. Reach Poker Stars Gold Star and Pokerstrategy Platinum.

After loosing last week a lot of motivation (read post above) Pokerstrategy chose me for a Status upgrade, btw. I dont know if it was a draw or if it had sth. to do with my positive results, anyway THANK YOU POKERSTRATEGY TEAM you really helped me a lot with that Gift. My motivation is high again and i have a lot of material to study and improve.
Furthermore I will try to be more active in the community, since I realised it also helps my motivation.

Good Night

Hey couple of advice I can give you

- Play stakes where you feel comfortable and some pressure but not a ton of pressure. Pressure can negatively impact your game plan and results. So if you are not ready for money wise large looses on spins, don't move up until you can accept 30 buy ins in a single day loss at least (say that you play 100-200 games per day volume).
- Higher stakes, people are not gamblers. It is very likely that you have not grasped cEV concept in full. There is no ICM in spins, pot odds are very important and if you see some "crazy" or spew calls it is likely that opponents either got priced or priced themselves in such spots. Another thing is river spot facing shoves and calls. Many times PTSR (pot to stack ratio) will be 1:1 or like 1/2 bet left so opponent calling will be inclined to bluff catch often. This is simple pot odds math and cEV model. Most people don't get it and I think will have very hard time adjusting and understanding how wide where you should bluff and call based on it.
- Limp pots. If you limp bet all the time for auto profit, your turn range will be super wide and you can get floated and exploited. If you 2 barrel and x river often - same thing. You need to be selective which hands over which textures you l/bet BVB. Think about what opponent x IP BVB pre flop in limp pots and then when flop comes try to understand if it hits him or not. Also think about your whole range in limp pots. Do you have top of the range? Do you limp "extended" value range? How likely do you have on river very strong hands? All these things matter a lot because just like you need to percieve opponents range in limped pots, opponent will have to perceive your range. There are other ways to defend OOP BVB range in limped pots but this is topic where 1 whole video course can be made with tons of hand examples and analysis why certain things are done those ways.

Hope that helps
