it has come to my attention that I'm weak tight.

well the stats say otherwise(-ish?) (14/11 at FR), but I feel as if I'm playing weak tight in general as of late and my red-line seriously needs sorting out.

theory wise I'm solid (I think?) I read/post/revise a lot but I want to improve more.

it could be argued that this is the optimal way to beat the micros (get the nuts, stack them, rinse + repeat), but honestly I am not happy with my win rate and overall play atm and something needs to be done about it.

so this thread (yeah I know its my 2nd one today) is my attempt to become a more aggressive player.

hopefully in this thread, if anyone cares to read/follow it.. I'm going to post my 10nl exploits and spots for you guys in which I could've done better. (blatantly copied micro, copyrights to him!)

also CCer's, is it worth me posting my stats on here to find leaks.. I know there's a bunch.

wish me luck?

situation:

stars bankroll - 442.01
vip program - $200 in deposit bonuses left to unlock.
win-rate - currently 2BB/100, not moving up until 5BB/100 over at 25k sample minimum.

overall stats below.

- Campbell92 :rolleyes:

Playing weak tight is fine. Play to beat the game, dont play to have "perfect" stats or play "standard". If weak tight wins, play weak tight.

Dont look at your red line, it doesnt matter.

2BB (4bb)/100 is a good winrate. Instead of waiting to make it bigger, just move up to 5nl when your roll is big enough. The game is the same so if you are a winner, you might as well win more money. Just make $80 at 2nl or something then move up. If you make 40bi you are a proven winner there.

Keep it up, its clear you are a winner. Just keep finding those leaks and keep exploiting the players. Find what ever caused those big downswings and dont do that anymore lol.

Poker will get easy for you soon.

you're winning, thats good... red line doesnt mean anything, mine was hugely nevative at each limit too. Move up when you're comfortable at beating the level you're at and arent gonna play scared because of the money being bigger.

Keep learning, so much to learn and when you think you're solid you realise youre not

yeah, got a load to read tomorrow.. like 50+ threads bookmarked but I'm too tired to read them properly atm.

not tootitng my own horn, I think I'm solid in comparison to other players at my limit I guess.

need to stop reading advanced plays i makes me fps(y?).



- 2BB/100 at 10nl is pretty shit tho imo.

might keep this thread open for postings sake.. or make it a leak buster thread?

Not a cash player Campbell so don't really have any advice for ya mate. I've read a few of your posts and you seem like a good guy so just wanted to wish you luck. Those 50 threads you have bookmarked sound like a good start but don't do too much reading. Ya gotta play as well bud to apply it. As I said, best of luck, hope it turns out well for ya.

being weak tight is extremely common for FR players who have only ever played full ring, it wont show up hugely in stats but watching you play it will.

Make a 20 or 30 minute video and I will video review it with my comments

good plan, was thinking that maybe.

i stack though so it might be effort to keep up with video wise?

if I play less than 8 tables I spew eventually, boredom.. :rolleyes:

oh yeah, and I have no clue how to make a video.. there's a post on that.

6 table tile and talk through your whole thought process for the hand, reasons for your actions and plans on later streets.

you will not get bored :)

you obviously arent thinking about stuff deep enough, it's only 6 tabling for 30 mins, its more to get an idea of how you think about poker, what your thought process is like when you play.
Tiling makes the action easier to follow, I sometimes stack tile when making vids so I'll tile 4 with 2 tables behind each

I guess, rarely get put into any awkward spots imo.. most of its just standard, but yeah I'll do it asap.

thought process will probably be in text though. :rolleyes:

You will be hearing from my solicitor :)

Good luck mate, I'll be following your thread.

A few questions:

- The epic cliff on graph was tilt? Or moving up and losing several BI quickly?
- Why don't you cash in the VIP rewards?
- 16NL would be a nice level for your roll, why not play that?

first time moving up to 25nl.. wasn't outclassed (i think?!) just got owned card wise.. bleh.

8BI(ish) in 1k hands.

cashed in all the VIP rewards I've unlocked so far.. need to find something in the VIP store worth working for, the rake at 10nl doesn't contribute to rewards too well imo.

16nl is super tilting, I run bad at that limit for some reason so I've just stopped playing there ha.

superstitious much?

Videos are just good to learn thought processes, its not like you can just play an hour and teach someone 3bet pots or good spots to triple barrel. Learning thought processes is really valuable on its own and gonna help much more than trying to pinpoint certain spots. Like when we do sweat sessions i think the best stuff is getting your thought process for certain spots and then every now and again my thought process being different so we kinda discuss pro's and con's.

OP, maybe just get skype and a mic? making videos is all good and stuff, but is really hit and miss whether anything good will come up in the video and they take ages to make and stuff, sweating is just instant and there's always one of us willing to share screen usually.

Im gonna fire a guess that if you're playing so many tables and feeling confident in all the spots thrown at you OP, that you will sometimes be telling yourself that you played it fine in certain spots where you actually could of played it slightly better and stuff, but just didnt have enough time to really think it over or didn't think about table dynamics as well as you could of because you had to make a decision quickly. Super standard stuff but none of us are playing optimally so im not having a go at you personally or anything, just none of us are crushing 1knl or anything so we all miss spots/think we played hands good when we didnt.

tl;dr

-get a mic
-add some peeps on skype
-stop playing 5k tables
-crush bitches

umm, I can't think of much atm.

start a thread about it? there's lots of other micro-regs that would benefit.

I say big pot montage, obv lol.

lol fraid not.

just started 15+ tabling 5/10nl so I don't see results.. somehow grinded out a 4 BI profit so yeah, not bad.

and yeah.. I do agree that weak tight is the way to beat the micros, I just think I need to b more aggressive in certain spots.

prob the multitabling.

Here is the best advice you won't listen to: Stop playing so many tables and tile.

I used to play 16 stacked, never noticed anything beyond a players stats and stack size. Can't really improve that way and playing micro stakes SHOULD be all about improving (not volume, points, rb, etc.). Those things are important as an added benefit but they are NOT the main reason you should be playing.

I now tile (usually 9 tables but started with 6). This allows me to notice my opponents actions in hands I'm not involved in. It lets me take notes and get reads beyond a players stats. Knowing if a 13/11 reg opens 22-66 UTG matters. Knowing that the 85/16 across the table has shoved the last 5 rivers he's seen matters. Having the time to plan your hand matters. If you're getting bored playing so few tables you're not making enough notes or watching the action you're not involved in enough.

Even back in the days when I stacked 16 I tried to play like 4 tables with regs once a week just so I could make notes on them. Also when you're playing few tables try talking yourself through every action (yeah out loud). Ask yourself why you're taking a particular action. Ask if there is an alternate to your default that might be more +EV. Just basically give yourself the time to THINK.

I agree with WVH!

I used to "grind out" like loads of tables in SnG's + cash games..maybe it's actually ok to do it more so in SnG's but I used to do it with cash games too.

All you do notice is your hand strenght in most cases, not others playing tendencies.

I usually play 6 tables tiled and try watch others, it has helped my game a lot. As he says, at micros especially it's daft to multi table so many as it's by far more profitable to watch the action and take money rather than earning pittance from RB/vpps etc.

PM me w/ your skype and I will add you to the study group; we are helping each other w/ hands- spots, et al. nearly 24 hrs./ day- As there is time zone diffs. from everyone.

-less tables
-get a mic-headset
-ask someone to sweat in the group using teamviewer or skype screenshare

Its such a nerdy thing but I have gotten so used to verbally talking thru almost every decision I would make, whether its standard or not, its just a habit now.
