Few things first, I’ve seen some posts on this topic before, that are pretty old now, but if you want to merge this into an older thread then you can but i’d prefer it to be left here.
So, I started with $60 on stars, played 15k hands of 2NL and won at 18bb/100 and got my roll to $120. This was pretty easy after starting badly and running under ev and eventually ran slightly over ev and was playing great. This was 6-8 tabling.
I then moved up to 5NL 4-tabling with 24 buyins. I got crushed and lost 6 buyins. Every opponent I played in big pots seemed to come up with the nuts every time (obv they didn’t but always had a set/straight/flush/higher boat). So I moved down and played 7x2NL and 1x5NL table. As usual I was crushing the 2NL and losing badly at 5NL. Steadied my roll at around $85.
Decided to try and play through with 3x5NL and 5x”2NL but the same keeps happening, dropped back to $63 :O and then dropped down to strictly 2NL. Tried 24-tabling (slightly from tilt but I know I can do it as I used to last year) and won about 7 buyins back in an hour. My roll is now $75 and I don’t know what to do. I’m probably gonna continue to mass multitable 2NL and get back to around $150 and take another shot at 5NL. Is this sensible? I am planning on using a 20BI move up plan because I want to be at 25NL by Christmas. I just want to get past 5NL as I’ve never been able to beat it, but have been profitable at 10NL, 25NL, and 50NL in the past.
I know I should be playing my same game at 5NL as 2NL, but there is a big difference, much less spazzes.
Anyone got any good advice and tips to offer?
