I forgot to post last week's challenge result into my blog, so here it is.
BR Challenge Update
Week: 22
Hands played: 5782
Profit: $+8.13
BR: $96.82
BR Challenge Update
Week: 23
Hands played: 3326
Profit: $+7.09
BR: $103.91
I didn't play much last week. I made some adjustments in my study which I'm going to describe later. Therefore I decided to stay at NL2 zoom and will see how the adjustments go so my bankroll is safe. It's better for my mindset to have a standard BRM rather than an aggressive one.

Pokerstrategy Equilab has an Equity Trainer. Put there your and villain's range and see how good you are in estimating equities.
I currently train HJ vs UTG.
Have fun as I have
That one is also free or do you need the pro version for that?

Sorry for not updating my blog a couple of last few weeks, I have been busy with other stuff.
Hopefully, I will come up with a blog post tomorrow
Hello, just a quick update on my situation. I was quiet in my blog for the last few weeks but I work on my play six days a week.
I've teamed up with fellow PSGY member Pokamon and we discuss various spots and change my strategy.
This is my All-time graph. For now, it goes sideways. I stay at NL2 no matter my BR because adopting the new strategy takes some time and sometimes I do
use the new knowledge in the wrong spots.

good job, teaming up lets you always find leaks that you otherwise wouldn't.
More importantly - if you are about to take a stupid decision for a call/raise/fold you now suddenly realize that you need to justify yourself....

Oh, yeah very true. Cooperation always works best.
Hi, yes, it works very well.
From the database, I can see I've managed to lower losing from the BB position.
The visible results on the graph are not there, yet. It goes sideways. The reason is I still do plenty of mistakes and high rake.
I haven't played much, I rather study than play. Improving takes time.
I'm sure even the results on the all-time graph will definitely come, sooner or later.
How are you doing?
Glad to hear that, so you 3bet more from BB? U still play stars? I found rake there reasonable w that new monthly challenge (rakeback) thing.
I would like to study more too, but actual strong players (coaches) play high stakes and I found it different game compared to microstakes.
I doubt their strategies are applyable to my game.
I'm doing fine, ty, moved to regular tables.
I think u will be a good player w your attitude.
I'm playing at Pokerstars.
My preflop range from BB is the same but I've learned how to play postflop much better and how to attack the villain if he checks.
The general strategy is appliable across the stakes but you have to be careful with player pool differences.
I had the same doubts so I understand. I thought learning GTO is not for me playing micro stakes but it's exactly the other way around.
Do you follow any course and do you know your ranges by heart?
Let's say Charlie Carrel, I know he's a great player, I'm watching him on twitch regularly (Epiphany77), it's a great content and he knows gto and explo strategies aswell. But I can't really use a tiny bit from what he's doing. I would lose my bankroll in 1 day if I would be balanced postflop like he is. And overbets on microstakes? No way it's profitable.
I followed some courses here and there, there was a brilliant course by confidant91 I believe here on pokerstrategy since when watched I'm not losing player. I don't have a range chart because I'm mixing 3bets/4bets with calls and some hands I open just 50% of time.

I do not agree.
Overbetting can be very profitable IMO.
Population tendencies are, people over fold and over bluff. This is also true for the micro stakes. (I do not have the data or the resources to verify this, but this is what very good players that I trust are saying)
That means:
- We can overbet with our strongest value hands sometimes (use the strong/medium strong hands to induce and catch bluffs sometimes)
- We can also overbet with good equity hands, when our range is polarized and their range is capped (of course always consider specific player types)
I have been implementing this successfully so far, even though for a relatively small sample size, I must admit.

Agreed — but you need to pick your spots...
I play on several sites, and these tendencies vary from site to site.
On some — like 888 — you find many more calling stations, so overbetting the nuts is highly profitable, and overbetting a bluff is significantly less so.
On PokerStars it seems the reverse is true.
On both sites, playing fast-fold micro stakes hold'em I would only overbet for value unless for some reason you have a history with the player.
