Software and Tools Poker Forums

Hey Everyone,

So, I am king noob in the micro NL forums. I started with a small deposit around 8 months ago and had very little trouble beating 2NL. I moved up to 5NL and was doing fine... but then I tried implimenting some more advanced ideas into my play (which really arn't advanced to most of you!) like finding appropriate spots to two barrel, 3b'ing a decent range, squeezing against the right players at the right times, really trying to dial in on hand reading... and every seemed to just fall apart.

Now, I am just spinning my wheels and I am embarassed I can't beat 5NL! It is quite frustrating to say the least. I think I need to remember, that it would be better to be a bit too tight as opposed to being too loose in these games. So, this leads to my question:

How would you go about using HEM to identify a micro stakes players leaks? I know, for you more experienced guys, this is perhaps an obvious answer, but it isn't for me. If you could tell me where to look in the stats, what to look for, common leaks, what I should primarly focus on (i.e. value > other concepts), and what to avoid... I think I would be the insanely grateful. I'm a pretty ambitious person, so this sense of being lost really is hurting my head.

Thanks a lot in advance!

I bought leakfinder it's 50 bucks for >50nl. It's a great product and comes w/ alot of videos describing how it works etc.

Yea, I had a look at leak buster, using the free trial of it... And it seemed a little basic with some of the solutions or advice it came up with. Also, does it make adjustments are you go through the stakes? For example, you probably should be 3-betting more at 50NL than you would need to at 5NL, but would leak buster make any adjustments for that?

I'm more looking for advice on how to do it myself. I guess I'll do some digging, and if I find something fishy I am doing, I will bring it up here.
