Those who play to play well indirectly play for the money. It sounds like your mindset is in the right place. Poker is a game won by those who focus on making good decisions and nothing else. It doesn't matter what stakes you play or what game you play, it's all about making good decisions. Score yourself on your decisions and forget your green line. That will rise naturally.

Another 10nl shot busts by AshThePro The skill level isn't higher whatsoever at 10NL. Its exactly the same and the play really doesn't get much better until 50NL. Even then the regs there are only slightly better and you get a huge shift in the play at around 400NL. Until then its all the same. Its your own mental blocks keeping you from staying at 10NL. Plug your own mental leaks and your game will excel...

He can repop with any off suited or Ax and suited (nondiamond) Ax as a miniraise often in NL2 isn't as strong as you would think. You can also add PPs 77+ since (especially TT-JJ) NL2 players will do this kind of goofy plays. this is NL2 and being an unknown I often treat them as playing with a standard NL2 player range (thinking ax is teh nuts, PPs unfoldable, flush draws are shove material, etc) unless he does a play which makes me say AH-HA and then I take a note. Also your raise to 56c at that point is decent but a bit large (although you can extract tons of value from players with weaker hands at this level which is good). if you had raised to 32c and he min raised to 64 then obviously your SPR would have been different and somewhat worth considering... maybe even a call... but as it stands with his repop the SPR of (near if not better than) 1:1 I am confident I am committed... plus random NL2 tendancies just too much to let go. run the ranges again remodified and let me know the equity as I am curious and don't have stove on me at this local Tue, 14 Sep 2010 15:23:34 +0000 /blogs/ron0914/38021-How-a-range-can-shift#comment41941 /blogs/ron0914/38021-How-a-range-can-shift#comment41941 itsatrap Comment on How a range can shift by ron0914 "You need to take all of those suited Aces out of your estimation of his range."

You have far more experience than me at 2nl and will be able to gauge their competency better than I, but I'm guessing, even though it doesn't make sense, that we can still include some % of bare flush draws. 22/66 is definitely in his range, but he just flatted the flop even though there is a flush draw out there so that makes me a bit more hesitant to say they make up most of his range. The other thing to point out is the Ad is on the flop. This means he can't have Adxd and you need to take all of those suited Aces out of your estimation of his range.

Just to clarify - I've no objection to getting coolered by some trash that hit a miracle, I wasn't trying to suggest that I feel I had some entitlement by virtue of the strength of my range. I was just really shocked when I saw that the buyins I had been writing off as coolers were actually, on reflection clearly telegraphed and I should have got away from them. It's not a disaster. Actually today I think it's rather comforting. This week I began questioning my understanding of the game. It's nice to be able to think that the fundamentals remain true -> you play bad :: you run bad Fri, 25 Jun 2010 13:11:14 +0000 /blogs/ron0914/29691-Really-have-some-mental-issues-with-10NL#comment33691 /blogs/ron0914/29691-Really-have-some-mental-issues-with-10NL#comment33691 ron0914 Comment on Really have some mental issues with 10NL by oopsipooped I find those loose fish tend to be pretty passive and when they are saying they made the unlikely straight with 48o they usually have it. I had and still have problems paying off those loosey goosey players because I get blinded by my desire to take their money.

If he raises, count the realistic # of combos that can beat you. If it is more than 12 on the flop, fold; more than 10 on the turn, fold; more than 8 on the river? Yep, you guessed it, fold. Can't go too far wrong here.

You did everything right if you know how to quit after only a 40 minute session. There will be a point, (if it hasn't already happened yet), where studying will actually be more fun than playing. Then you have to convince yourself to actually play poker instead of the other way around ;). Just keep posting!

I would be cautious about setting a $ amount before moving up to the next level though. It often has more to do with your skill level than anything else. There are a lot of players who go on heaters and reach their BR requirements to move up but do not have the skill advantage. I'm not saying that this is the case, but maybe set a goal of 20k more hands at 5NL and if it so happens that your BR falls into place and you feel comfortable, then go for it!

AKo middle position, call a raise from unknown UTG. Co calls behind. Monotone low flop gives me the nut flush draw, I call a 3/4 pot C-bet CO calls behind to build a big pot. I get my chips in when and an Ace comes on the turn. UTG had flopped the 2nd nut flush with KQs. NH WP. I'll get me coat.

Very good thinking :). I play a in a league where I live 2 or 3 nights a week and I usually act strong all the time whether I am or not, but every once in awhile you can catch someone who is leaning one way or the other, and act in such away to push them further in that direction. I don't think you can completely change someones gut, but if this guy thinks you are a bluffer AND you appear like your bluffing his instinct is going to get in his way every time. Good job!
