Just out of curiosity, how come you start with a $400, why not the $1000 bankroll you achieved?

NL20 was in euro so it was more than 20$ at table, it's the same.

i still have hope!

Edit: played one more session and i'm -10$ for the day, ops.

congraz for finishing the NL10 challenge :f_thumbsup:

what were your preparations for moving up? (theory wise)
Am still stuck at NL10, because NL25 is a much more difficult of a challenge then all the stakes before..

Seems to be a rough start for you too..gl with getting back on an upwards movement :f_thumbsup:

my preparation is daily and either i get coachings from brokesobroke or i learn from videos on my own.
i moved at nl10 when my nl5 game was in huge changes. My 3bet was 5%.
At nl10 i made more costly adjustments than at nl5 but finally made it trough.
Now i have to make it trough at nl25. I can really feel the importance of money at nl25.

What i am working on:
-playing many hours without breaks so that i learn to maintain my focus for long hours.
-have the preflop learned by heart so that i use more focus on other parts of my game instead of choosing hands to play
-river call decisions (pot odds , equity exercises , 10 for each day)

Exploitative play
-make notes when i see something weird and figure out what is the missbalance in villain range when he does that play.
Ask what is the most obvious way to exploit this?

eg: Villain called preflop with AA. => When he 3bets he does not have AA.
