Hey guys,
How your doing. I decided to play (again) on Pokerstars and make some good results and step from bottom limits up. I play poker with breaks about 15 years, but never too seriously.
I am normal working guy, aged 29, working as project manager in automotive. Now I usually play poker 1-3 hours per day, in evening. On weekends I play little bit more, but not too much. Just making my best to balance work, GF and poker.
I saw here in PSG forum guy, calling himself „recreational Reg“, and that is same as I would call myself.

I deposited $22 and started to play NL2 fullring CG.
I plan to go to higher limit (NL5) when I reach 25 buy ins and go back down on <20 buy ins. And so on.

I play those maximum allowed 4 tables in same time. It is quite slow, but I can concentrate well. I have something over 20k hands.
I will post here some stuff time to time and thanks for any feedback. Somehow I can not post image, so delete space in link below.
BOL to all :f_biggrin:

Hey guys, small update here. I´ve been doing well and played some more sessions. I table-select hard and I am trying all the time to be all my 4 tables quite fishy with high average pot and high average VPIP.

Right now I am sitting on $131. I decided to go up-to $150 and then step to NL5, so I have at least 30k hands played on current limit NL2.

Here is my stats update:

And position stats:

I value any feedback to my stats and any remarks. Also I am opened to discussion about NL5 FR :f_thumbsup:

Thanks

I feel with BB here!
It is like taking a knife to your heart when you flopped a straight and multiway any draw arrives (Flush or board pairs).
But here both arrive at the same time..

Brutal runout, but you can't fold that on that board at NL 2 -- especially for such a small SPR
The side pot SPR is much higher, but even then this isn't a fold ever, and the shove makes perfect sense.

Hey guys,
small update from me. So I did this: I stepped from NL2 to NL5 when I was on 30 buy ins. My plan was to go high and If I would lost 10 buyins - then I would go down to NL2.
Honestly, with my stats on NL2 I didnt expect the difference to be so significant. I lost about 9 buy ins on NL5 before I bounced back. So my stats on NL5 are bad, however 8 thousand hands back I was -10bb/100h. Recently I play a lot on my phone (maybe 50/50 PC to phone), where I can not use HUD SW, which is bad, but at least I do some hand volume. otherwise It would be very low.

I hope things will get better and I will rise on NL5 upwards to NL10.

Stats and graph below.
Here you can see impact of stepping up in the stakes:

Anyway, numbers are green, I must play what I am playing last 8000 hands. There are still many fish out there.

Hey,
small upate here. I reached necessary 30 buy ins for higher limit (NL10) and stepped higher from current NL5. I decided to switch from fullring to shorthanded (appreciate if some mod can delete "fullring" from thread name). Reason is more people play SH so I need to adapt. Seems like really FR is dead on higher limits. And of course I want to step higher and higher. Another change is I play zoom tables more these days, than regular tables.

When I came to NL10, It was hard to adapt again (similar as from NL2 to NL5) and I quickly dropped 9 buy ins down and was looking back to NL5. I spent a lot of time studying and worked more on 3betting and playing against 3betors and then It went better and now I am on 26 buy ins approx. So now If I go under 20 byi-ins, I go back to NL5. If I reach 100 buy-ins, I step to NL25. So I believe I will stay long time on this (or in worse case lower) limit. I still have very small hands sample on NL10 so It is too early to evaluate anything, but hopefuly things will go better and better.

I appreciate any feedback. Cheers.

Here are some graphs: (delete space in link)

Hey guys,
here is again an update from my side. I am struggling at NL10 6-max so far. I feel more confident, but results are nothing special. I came at $300 to NL10 and now after 20k hands I am break/even and some coins + just because of rakeback. Stats and graph are below.

I must work on my discipline, because most of cash I lose is from overplaying my hands in 3bet and 4bet pots. Sometimes I am too aggressive and instead of pushing my opponents to mistakes, I do mistakes.
Another leak is not giving up on raise on turn or river. Which is often when I hold 2 pair, straight or smth similar and there is posibility of FH, flush or just higher 2pair. I must fold that hand and move on, because sometimes they bluff, but mostly they got it and more profitable is just give up.

Anyway, important is to give name to my leaks and work on their improvement. My post flop play gets better with more hands played on NL10.
I appreciate any feedback.

Delete space in links or Vorpal please be so kind and update my pictures (THX):

Hi,
I am quite tilted from yesterday´ s live cash game where I lost some cash with fish, so I am not playing today online and will rather update my thread -_-. Hands Q3o and J9s against my JTs will wake me up maybe 2 more days in the middle of sleep.

Well...
Below my graph and updated stats after couple more hands of NL10. Looks like I am adapting a little, but still must work on my leaks to improve my BB/100. Now I got approx. 36k hands of combined NL10 6-max + NL10 ZOOM 6-max.
From my stats below It is clear I play more tight on regular tables. In guess It is because of table selection. When I play against more fish, who have higher VPIP, I tend to tighten my range and play more in position. Folding some marginal cards OOP.
While in zoom I play more ABC poker with defined range on each position, without much reads on players.

I play zoom on smartphone without HUD, single table. Regular tables with HUD and 4 tables together.

I appreciate any feedback.

Hey congratz on your progress so far :f_thumbsup:
Switching to 6max from fullring i bet it wasn't that easy but you are on the right track.
Just put in the volume and keep study and you will improve that winrate for sure.

If you post your stats by position here or when you study your stats will be faster for you to see your leaks.

Good luck :f_drink:

Hello and thanks for feedback, I really hope It will get better, since winrate is not much high and my goal is to step higher.

I´ve split stats of regular and zoom because play is different, but samples are lower - 17k and 18k.
Anyway pictures are below.

cheers :f_tongue:
