This month I took a shot at 5NL. It went badly. Really badly. I have been trying to figure out exactly why this might be? Did I run under ev? Was I card dead? Are 5NL players better than me? Before I had posted a recent blog I thought perhaps it was the players are indeed better than me atm. But after a couple of DC members told me that the players really are not the different, I wondered ot ... <a href="http://www.deucescracked.com/blogs/captainscope/63531-A-month-of-2-graphs-">(continued)</a>
So moving up from 2NL to 5NL started off a little rocky – as my previous post alluded to. I have found a few things of interest so far in terms of moving up. As I have written before the ability to iso raise fish due to the greater flexibility of 3 bet sizing is a definite plus. I have found this especially pertinent in regards to player behind you left to act. Basically we can ... <a href="http://www.deucescracked.com/blogs/captainscope/61871-Adjusting-to-the-and-variance-5NL">(continued)</a>
I finally moved up this weekend. From 2NL to 5NL – wow! I cashed in $10 rakeback and had 70BI’s for 2NL. More than enough for 5NL. I was $15 or 7.5 BI’s @2NL – up for the week as of Friday – so I was playing well and I felt good. Time to move up. I played 1500 hands at 5NL 4 tabling and I lost including what I had won – $38 or almost 9 BI’s for 5NL. (Excluding the bon ... <a href="http://www.deucescracked.com/blogs/captainscope/61401-From-2NL-to-5NL-The-Psychology-of-Moving-Up">(continued)</a>
Not been blogging as much as I would have liked recently – due to some “real life” commitments. But still trying to get in ~500 hands a day. One thing I felt that tonight that I have learnt in my battle at 2NL is adjusting. Adjusting to opponents and more importantly their stack sizes is massively essential. As I have written about before obtaining solid reads at 2NL is really dif ... <a href="http://www.deucescracked.com/blogs/captainscope/60331-Adjusting-to-Stack-Sizes-at-2NL">(continued)</a>
I have had a really good winning weekend and winning week at 2NL. Feels good. I have learnt a load from playing it more or less exclusively all month. I played a few session of 5NL this weekend and got unlucky in a few pots, but did not tilt and managed to get out of the hole. I cannot stress enough to any uNL players that are struggling to check your ego drop down a level that yo ... <a href="http://www.deucescracked.com/blogs/captainscope/58721-A-winning-week-at-2NL-WOO-HOO-">(continued)</a>
I ended up having a winning week. Which considering how the beginning and middle was spanning out I am really happy with. Reading the comments and advice from other members of the DC community has helped no end. Getting some perspective on how you play from other peeps is invaluable. I think this week I finally made some nice adjustments to this limit from what I hav ... <a href="http://www.deucescracked.com/blogs/captainscope/56921-Learning-Adjusting-and-eventually-winning-2NL">(continued)</a>
