Hi there,
it has been a while, but I wanted to keep an update of my progress. I moved up only one level to the .02/.05 Blinds and got so owned it wasnt even funny. I have no problem being honest
Interestingly I still run very good at 2NL but I definitely see my weaknesses as you all told me in this thread (Special thanks to C9). I am not afraid of the "developing bad habits at because of playing 2NL" issue, as I for sure know that I have to work my way up and already identified some of my leaks in the game. I just didnt think that they appear so drastically within one blind level. But proves me right for stayin in my comfort zone for so long.
I think I will work on it as follows:
Event though I am very comfortably winning with my play at 2NL, I will work on changing it as proposed here in this thread (playing less hands, if one is worth playing it will be worth raising, else fold). I already have no problem folding the easily dominated hands like KJ facing a raise or oop.
I somehow am sure this will lower my win rate at first, but will increase my discipline towards moving up. Maybe I will mix my sessions, resuming my regular play and afterwards working on my game.
Another factor will be that right now I am shortstacking, buying in with only a $ and leaving when I doubled. So instead of moving up in blinds, buying in higher could be a "slow evolution". The shortstacking prevents costly mistakes, but in fact I know that it rewards mistakes (as I can do more mistakes without going broke on them). But in order to get better I have to overcome this "comfort zone".
Further I will start to multitable also and hope it will help me reduce my hand range.
I will keep you updated!
Yours truly,
Aggro Fish Boro
