Small Stakes Shorthanded NL Poker Forums

I had positive redline, losing green and blue line for the first 100k hands of my poker career. If thats what you want to achieve it's not that hard to do. Just bet a lot and pay off a lot.

The aggression thing is a bit of a misconception btw. To be a losing, positive redline player you don't need to be aggressive particularly. Imagine the world's biggest station. Literally never folds anything. Even if they don't ever bet they will have a positive redline because sometimes they will get a walk in the bigblind. Any time anyone else bets they call 100%, which all adds into their blue line. Their blue line will be negative of course because their range is so weak. Make sense?

Now if you are a bad player who is trying to do the right thing you will cbet, isoraise, 3-bet (all of which of course add to your redline), but you will also call too much making your blueline go down in spots where a good player will fold, making their redline go down.

I don't know if this helps or answers but I had a FR student a while back who had a hugely positive redline at 25nl.

He was winning over first 125k hands well and losing a bit in last 100k hands so there is an example of both.

He wasn't hyper aggro spew tard or anything. Played like 15/12, 4% 3b and standard aggression.

Fascinating. Did you figure out any specific leaks in his game that may have caused this?
