So I have soundly stomped 4nl ....I then thought I was "Good" lost some cash at 25+Nl and higher buy in cash and tourneys ....then collected myself and said well ...time too look inward and try and retool my game ...I clearly dont have the skillset needed too beat those games and I am dissillusioned. Soooooo
I walk into 10nl (Again) I have the bankroll not gonna blink at losing a buy in or two ....(Stop loss is at 4 BI btw) ...And having a clearer view of what im facing I walk into an absolute battleground ! I lost a lot of money in 2012-2013 ...4k ish ..not at 10 NL but taking absurd shots ....spent some time relearning the game ..Reentered the game last half of 2014 .. binged some tourneys ..went deep in a few 100+ tourneys never cashed though ..I did well live ...broke even in tourneys ...im up actually about 600 in cash games if you dont count my losses in limit ( seems too be what is running most the time at my casino)...Truly isnt my speciallty im at best break even there.
Forgive the wall of text ... At 10 nl Im facing players that are good at certain parts of poker ....Some excell at playing tight ..some c bet well ...some have learned too float. ....Lots of wannabe lags value betting 2 pair etc .... Most seem too have tracking software and are identifying player types on a basic level ...
2015 - My basic question is ....what type of person is playing these stakes (Im on carbon atm)
And Is this a skill ceiling for micro stakes ? I have seen many people from 2 years ago at 25nl right back here at 10 nl ...I dont wanna be that guy .
SO in the here and now ...how do I progress too defeat 10 nl . I tried taking shortcuts and failed .
A study group for this level would be cool ..but I mean real talk.....should I just go for it and gtfo of micros OR ....is this where I get the practice ,,iunno any help would be cool.
