Beginner Limit Hold'em Poker Forums

No worries reply was prefect.
i am playing at new level tonight, after moving up only 25Big bets down after a session. After 10k hands i will check my winrate and if its at least 2BB/100 i will deposit

Whoa whoa whoa. I'm def not the person to talk to about win rates and "the long term"...ask BBB, he'll show you 100k hand break even stretches.

The important thing is for you to be comfortable at you stakes in comparison to your bankroll. And not tilting

That's was my plan anyway. Hence why your post intrigued me.
thank for the reply
And apologies to the OP for hijacking your thread

To OP

I would suggest playing maximum of two tables.

A video i would really recommend you to watch after reading your post is The Eightfold path to Poker Enlightenment by Tommy Angelo.

Hey dude

I cant give any advice on videos as I havent seen any. I have been wokring on my game hugely lately here are some things that helped me (ready to move up again also).

Back down to one table with obbessive note taking. I hardly ever play against the same opponents so I think the HUD can only give an assuption on how the villains play due to the sample size - I find note much more helpful during a session.

When I am reviewing my hands at the moment I am stoving more or less everyhand - this has helped me in situations where I thought I was good alot of the time but had poor equity and also helped me see how many loose calls I made and some lucky pots I have won.

I think if you watch all the videos and dont play you will cramm you head with too much when you start playing again. i think it would be better to watch a couple and play a session or two with the concepts in mind.

I also take part in hand swaps monthly with friends I have on skype, I find this very helpful and you are welcome to join if you like.

@grandmofftarkin Im interested in your comment about only barely beatable. would you expand please?
I have played mainly .1/.2 currently running at about 3.7/100. I have moved up to .25/.5 twice and back down again after a few sessions as I didnt feel comfortable with Minimum bankroll after a few losses. I am considering making a deposit and moving up whats the best levels to start at? Also I noticed not much diffence in villains at .25/.5 limit.

Thanks buddy, yes I am playing again and one thing I have decided to do is just play one table.

I was playing a lot of tables and I think that was the main problem.

Since playing just 1 table I have played about 500 hands over the last couple of days and am running at about about 6bb/100.

This probably wont continue forever or maybe it will but just playing 1 table I am taking notes and watching how the other players play hands and it helps me make better decisions.

Another thing I do is if I see any of the other players at the table are multi tabling I take a note of it. If they are then I feel like they are probably going to play more straight forward.

The price is right has helped me and now in every hand I'm not in I try to figure out who has what and I'm getting better at it. Playing multi tables means you can't really read your opponents but playing just one means I can focus on reads.

I now take lots of notes and I feel like I'm playing much better. Before, I was losing every session but over the past couple of days just playing 1 table I am up every sessions so it's all good. Hopefully at this rate I can win back the money I lost.

Any way thanks for the nice post!
