For like a month and a half ago, I posted this thread in the DC microstakes forums, where I ask how I should become better without paying for coaching. I was probably in a massive downswing, and I wasn’t paying enough attention to stacksizes and some other important stuff that I do now. I tried for like 2 weeks after this thread, to watch videos, take notes and so on. But still ... <a href="http://www.deucescracked.com/blogs/rapeface2k/79711-October-Coaching-it-s-good-for-you">(continued)</a>
After stepping back into 10NL – after a 4 month break with a better game, one thing for sure has become apparent. At all levels of micro stake poker that I have encountered thus, there is no small edge that you exploit against opponents to optimize maximum value from a hand. I have read and watched numerous peeps discuss finding that small edge against an opponent an ... <a href="http://www.deucescracked.com/blogs/captainscope/70441-Understand-PSB-or-big-bets-at-10NL-and-under-">(continued)</a>
When I first started this blog in Feb 2011 I was messing about at 10NL. And now I’m back. But what I’ve found about moving up is that it is this kind of weird experience where you expect to keep crushing and things just stay the same as they were. What I think it actually is, is like a boxer stepping up in class. You know where a boxer or MMA guy is good and has put ... <a href="http://www.deucescracked.com/blogs/captainscope/69271-Time-to-suck-it-up-take-the-hits-and-move-up-">(continued)</a>
How would you like to remember everything you ever learn? Sounds too good to be true, I know, and probably impossible. Besides, I don’t wanna remember some of the random stuff I see on the internet. But there is a way to remember most or at least way more of the stuff you want to know.

I finally stopped thinking about it and did it. I just finished paying for my first coaching session on DeucesCracked. After floundering at $10NL for the last year off and on, I feel like I need the guidance of a more experienced player. Don’t get me wrong, the forums are great, but a little incentive for someone to benefit from helping you, goes a lot further than adding one more post to your total po ... <a href="http://www.deucescracked.com/blogs/straitbizness/67131-Finally-">(continued)</a>
The week is finished, the tables are closed and some money lost … A week like this is does really tear a micro-heart. The first part went as mentioned pretty well. Then the craziness began. I kept getting KK versus AA, QQ versus KK. The sets got no value, top pair got check/raised turn. Didn’t hit any draw. And a easy way to put these last days in a nutshell, is to show you this hand. Before readin ... <a href="http://www.deucescracked.com/blogs/starpowah/64291-Week-finished-">(continued)</a>
Wednesday, no breakeven, rather more 3 buy ins up almost. Flopped some big hands, and people always will try to bluff at it. Funny when you once in a while meet up with one of those. The last days had been good sessions, so I’m looking forward to complete this week of playing poker.Hope I’ll get in my goal of number of hands! Then I can look forward and see how discipline and concentration pays of ... <a href="http://www.deucescracked.com/blogs/starpowah/63861-Wednesday-rungood">(continued)</a>
Finally, the happy Tuesday arrived. Played two sessions two day, one in the morning before driver lesson and one in the evening after practice. The first session went well, and made a buy in. This was played while laying in my bed and getting stressed by the factor that I had to wake up soon. The other session was at the evening, and wow I finally ran hot! Got a lot of my sets in on the flop, overpai ... <a href="http://www.deucescracked.com/blogs/starpowah/63771-Happy-Tuesday-">(continued)</a>
Monday, the first day of week. The day that gives the core feeling about how the week will go. This Monday was a blue one, definitively at the poker tables. Loaded up eight tables, with a decent fish at every table. Sat down, waited for some hands and Hold Em Manager recognized the stuck 10 NL regulars. Then after some ten-twenty hands, I spotted the betting pattern of my neighbor fish. Minbet means ... <a href="http://www.deucescracked.com/blogs/starpowah/63661-Monday-blues-">(continued)</a>
This week is a relaxing one. Had a lot of tests last week, so this one is booked by soccer exercise, driving lessons and some penny hunting. I decided to put up a schedule, to let me play a X amount of hands. So I could get in a decent number of hands this week. The average number of hands per month so far seems to be around 30 000. So that will be my goal at 10NL. 30 000/4 = 7500 hands per week ... <a href="http://www.deucescracked.com/blogs/starpowah/63571-Week-micro-schedule">(continued)</a>
So was at a party last night, and woke up pretty hungover. Decided to play some 10NL, my regular stake, to try to earn some moneeeey. And guess what, I ran like the God of Poker and my weird play worked out! I flopped so many sets and got the most value out of every hand! So I played pretty much optimally.

So after playing 33,000 hands in March I ended one buy in up. That is after being down 10, so I made a total of $150 included rakeback and winnings in a tournament at Stars. Pretty bad month overall … Played 32000 hands. bb/100: 0.48 VP: 22 PFR: 20 3B: 6 SQZ: 6 Good that my vpip/pfr is increasing. So I have to improve my game a bit then I’ll probably move up to 25NL soon! :D ... <a href="http://www.deucescracked.com/blogs/starpowah/63221--10-earnings-in-March-">(continued)</a>
So I’m stuck at 10NL. Been around $200-$300 all month, and I can’t really seem to break through. My problems are showdown winnings, not 3betting polarized ranges against regs, and depolarized ranges against fish. A early problem of mine, was being scared of monsters under the bed. Stopped barreling the turn enough, but now I got my groove back.

3 months of breaking even at 10nl…harsh time yeah,but!.I only got myself to blame.To think that ur good enough to beat a lvl even thou the graph shows greatly that ur doing something wrong is being ignorant,lazy and stupid.Worst of all.i started blaming everything else but myself.But thanks to the guys i have in my group(after telling to shut the fuck up about my negative bitching) i came to realise ... <a href="http://www.deucescracked.com/blogs/iaintlosing/60341-Starting-over">(continued)</a>
For a brief spell, it seemed like nothing I could do at 10NL was wrong, but as a beginner one thing I should not have underestimated is the enormity of the gulf between when I am playing my best and when I am not. As a result, in a few short sessions I was able to drop 8BI and give back all the profits from my good spell. The thing is that this time I could see exactly what had happened – tilt + not wa ... <a href="http://www.deucescracked.com/blogs/huntse/58651-Consolidation">(continued)</a>
So I’ve been casually making my way through some volume and I’m running hotter than the sun atm so figured now would be a good time to make a post. Had a few issues settling into online poker but now it’s coming together OK… I started out (over 1700 hands) as a 38/32/10 with a WTSD% of 30.9 and W$SD% of 35.7 and i was stuck -$62.95 at 10NL.

A few interesting things have happened recently. Firstly, I decided to just jump from 2NL to 10NL. I had originally promised myself that I would grind 2NL for a while until I was sure that I was doing the right thing most of the time and my decisions were +EV, but then I changed my thinking and decided to play the stakes I was rolled for where I was going to learn the most, and that’s 10NL at the moment. ... <a href="http://www.deucescracked.com/blogs/huntse/57271-10NL-vs-2NL">(continued)</a>
… you think you’re going to be awesome at it until you try it out. In case you didn’t know, live poker is really easy for anyone with a brain. Having a brain, poker seemed like a good idea 4 years ago. Still playing regularly I decided to quit the wiffle stakes of live poker to try to learn the harder version… and it’s killing my life.

Hey to all that are reading, I have been playing poker for 2 years in April. I have been playing micro stakes all that times somewhere between 10NL and 50NL. It changes like the season’s. Which is not good – but I haven’t busted my roll once in that time. I decided that this year I would start writing a blog – about my poker experiences, a journeys log of the brutality of it all ... <a href="http://www.deucescracked.com/blogs/captainscope/55281-So-it-begins-we-are-16BI-s-4-10NL">(continued)</a>
Started getting back into poker after a year off. Played 10NL on FTP for the last couple weeks, but moved to PS for the VIP program and higher player numbers. Currently break-even after 16k hands.
Another nasty session at 10NL last night. I was definately rattled by it. I started taking a look at the 50bb tables on Stars, because that seems to be where the fish hang out. It’s not so bad I guess. Feels a lot more like 5NL. Actually sometimes it feels like 2NL. I dropped 150bb last night, as I had to cut the session off as it I was getting quite frustrated.

I’ve been on a pretty bad downswing since the beginning of the month. I had been running pretty well since the beginning of the year and I had moved up from 5NL to 10NL to 25NL. Up to now I’ve lost just over half my roll just this month. My hands just aren’t holding up and it’s getting pretty soul crushing. I knew it would happen at one point but I didn’t expect this hard of a ... <a href="http://www.deucescracked.com/blogs/xix/15561-Huge-Downswing-Lost-half-my-roll">(continued)</a>
Hi All, I’ve decided to create a blog to track my progress so that way when I look back I can see how I got to where I hopefully will be. I thought about using the blog as a way of keeping myself accountable, but knowing myself, it won’t matter. I’ll either do it or I won’t. Luckily, accountability isnt a problem due to the fact that I have the drive and passion to do these things.

Yep i cheated, there ive said it, now get of my back already. No i didnt collude or dump chips, i broke my rules. I played after 11pm and before id finished watching all the videos i wanted to watch before playing again. Although in order to justify it to myself, i told myself it was just some rakeback money and its only 10nl and they both dont count.

Time to drop back from 25NL and gather my thoughts, methinks. First session (last post) was $70 down, second session was $40 up and third session tonight another $56 down. Obviously hard to tell if this is just normal swings or whether I’ve moved up to quickly. What’s interesting is that if you look at my graph in terms of BB rather than $ profit then the last 3 sessions pretty much just flat ... <a href="http://www.deucescracked.com/blogs/philb287/8501-Sound-the-retreat-">(continued)</a>
So how did that go for you then?? OOOOOooooooo – I feel a bit sheepish. No real need to post a graph here – I’m sure you can all imagine what a -$70 line over 500 hands looks like! But I will make a few observations on my first session Huge difference in amount of limping and limp arounds. I don’t think there were more than 10 hands in the whole session with more than one ... <a href="http://www.deucescracked.com/blogs/philb287/8351-First-session-at-25NL-oops-">(continued)</a>
Didn’t think I’d be saying this so soon but after a git of session last night (see last post) I’ve had the session I think my play deserved tonight – $40 up and breaking the $500 BR – so it’s 25NL for me! Over all graph below followed by 10NL only. Really pleased to be keeping the same approximate rate through 5NL and 10NL. I know doing the same on 25NL will be harder.

Sometimes a session just serves to kick you in the balls. As per my last post I was planning to move up to 25NL once my BR reached $500. Starting the session at $475 and having banked $25 in the previous session I was all set to really work at this one, reach $500 by the end of the evening and hit the weekend at 25NL.

I just uploaded my first member video , playing 10NL rush poker. I haven’t really done any editing, and hopefully what I say isn’t complete junk.

Full Sunday evening session and I’ve been up and down like the Abyssinian Empire. Cruising to a soft landing – finishing just short of 3BI up after about 1.2K hands Can’t blame variance for the big hands lost – that was mainly down to a bad call and my inability to lay down top pair when it matters.

Quick update again. Not making much progress. Lots of up and down but mostly ending sessions on top or level. If the bad days are flat and the good ones +ive then it will all work out alright in the end. Only $44 up after 6K hands at 10NL. But it’s a start.

Hey, to any one reading this. My story is almost the same as anyone else here. started playing poker (insert time) ago. I wasn’t too serious about it up until recently.

OK, since I posted in a couple of threads on the forums, did a couple of sweat sessions with some knowledgable guys and got a couple of hours coaching a few days ago, I’ve been grinding out results at 10NL, and it’s been going really well.

OK, so I was trying to come to terms with the fact that I sucked at poker, but I couldn’t work out why I was losing money and breaking even. So, I posted my stats and my graphs on the forums and I got some good feedback – when I was playing as the aggressor I was doing well, but when people started betting and raising into me I became a complete calling station. I went into Poker Tracker and ... <a href="http://www.deucescracked.com/blogs/thelynchmob/3581-Stop-calling-OOP">(continued)</a>
OK, so in an effort not to be such a spewtard, I’ve taken a nice big bit of paper, put it next to my computer and written what I consider to be the 3 Commandments of 10NL. 1. PLAY TIGHT 2. DON’T BLUFF 3. VALUE BET That should do it. Every time before I make a decision at the tables, I’m going to look at this bit of paper to remind me what I should do.

OK, so I moved up to 25NL last month after beating 10NL for 6ptbb/100 over 25k hands or so. 25NL absolutely crushed me. I spewed money left, right and centre, and I just wasn’t good enough. I moved back down to 10NL and proceeded to play 30k hands of breakeven poker. Even more depressing, here’s my all-in EV graph for 10NL: So, despite being on what would appear to be a huge heater, my winra ... <a href="http://www.deucescracked.com/blogs/thelynchmob/2691-Retooling-my-game">(continued)</a>
As I’ve mentioned before, I used to take random shots at 10NL before actually getting to the proper 20BI for that stake and I think it made me play with “scared moneyâ€. I noticed this once I took my first shot at 10NL WITH 20BI for that stake today and it went very smoothly. I didn’t have the same worries I had previously when calling with marginal made hands finished up 1BI with made it just that much better. Lets hope I can keep running well.
I’m taking a couple of days off playing, as I mentioned in my last post, so I thought it would also be good to go back and review my fundamentals, so I’m re-watching tubasteve and n0whereman’s awesome series ‘From The Ground Up’. It’s probably been the most helpful video series I’ve watched so far on DC.

After some consderation (about 10 minutes worth) I’ve decided to switch all $240 of my micro bankroll over from Pokerstars to Full Tilt, to benefit from the softer games and the 27% rakeback deal I secured from RakeBrain.com.
