300 hands of 9max 2nl, and yet again, nothing happening. Got KK once, managed to get it all-in preflop, and of course villain had AA, which held. Every table was very loose, lots of limpers, so I tightened up, but just couldnt get the hands PF. Such a cooler at the moment. Im down $4 over 2000 hands, but my EV says Im up $9, ffs.

LOL, probably you die after the 3rd one .
NH.
Why are you playing only 2 tables and mixing?, traffic is so low?.

nah, the traffics ok, just all the tables were full of one kind, so I played one of each and a couple of tournaments at another site. I think this is one of my flaws, mixing tables a lot of the time. Im not sure which I prefer, but I think Ive gotta decide which Im better at, and stick with that one. Im sure my game will improve if I do.

After the 1st, LOL. Your not that old, only 4 years older than me.
Definitively man, mixing 6max with 9 max is bad enough because different ranges, but mixing with MTTs sounds like too much in your hands if still learning cash. Add to that that you also are playing omahahaha
I know that you have rakeback there but is not that good if only can play 1-2 tables because rest are full, to rakeback mean something need volume. Also need to consider that if this happen in 2nl imagine when jump to higher levels (less traffic).
Anyway, hope you keep doing well, at least last session was good.

Keep up the good work...good luck to you*
I just started on Minted Poker trying to do the same thing from scratch playing the steps playing 2-3 sit-n-go matches per day until I'm in the money...
Plenty of fishes there, but no more than 1000/less players daily...you see the same players each day

I play at Inter Poker on the Boss Network and get 30% rakeback and for the last few months they have had a rakerace which is easy to cash in which makes the rakeback up to 60%, I only play PLO micro tables there but there are lots of NL micro tables as well.

havent played cash for a couple of days, doing other things.
decided to play 4 tables of 6max, as there was only one 9max table going.
was doing ok, up 80c, then this hand came up:

thing is, I had marked the villain as red(good player) and wrote 'tricky' as note, and still I didnt believe that he had the flush, even when he shoved on river I was foolishly hoping he had a lower set. Stupid me all the way, I got too committed to my hand.
This was nice though:

Hand 1 - I think the rivers a begrudging fold, but I also think you know that!
Hand 2 - I bet the flop, your hand isnt a lock and theres plenty of value to be had from higher PP's/overcards that'll call a bet there, i'd also hate to give someone a free card there, obv results orientated but if a 7 comes on the turn then 54 gets there and you stack off if hand 1's anything to go by.
I'd also drop the FR tables if your only playing 4 tables max, your clearly at the site for the RB (b/c its def not for the traffic!) so it makes no sense to me to sacrifice the extra hands per hour and also mix games between 6max and FR?!? This might also explain why you can't fold KK to 3 streets of aggression on that board, b/c your bored shitless playing 4 tables of FR???
Just stick to one game, 6max on your site, add another 2 tables, stop FPS'ing and make some RB $$. Hand 1 you over thought it and convinced yourself you were still good, hand 2 you over thought it, tried to get value by being tricky, or w/e, and if the 5 doesnt come on the river, you lose a ton of value from checking the flop and betting ridic small on the turn. It's 2nl, just value town them and fold when they look like they have it, it really is that simple

thanks OP for the advice.
yeah Hand 1 my head said fold, but my heart stupidly said Im winning.
Hand 2 I only checked cause the guy who raised c'bed the flop every time.
Im still deciding which I prefer/am more profitable at, 6max or 9max, so just trying both, but Im making myself not mix them anymore.

2hr session of 9max 4tables. ran KK into AA early, so spent the next hour getting back to breakeven. No other key hands, just small wins here and there.

Oh, and its thursday, hopefully I get my rakeback paid today.........

this is coming a bit late, but i would take a second look at your BRM system. moving up with a whole 1 BI above the threshold of 20 for the lower level seems... early? sometimes through no fault of your own it is possible to end up down 2-3 BI at the time of moving up, and it would suck having to go back down at that time. perhaps increase that to about 3 BI for the level above?
on the other hand, while at the super micros, perhaps it does not matter that much, so try whatever you feel like but do give my suggestion a thought when you are ready to move up to (even) 10nl.

havent played in a week or so, been busy with work.
so, anyway, went to check my rakeback(which is meant to be paid every week), and still hadnt had a payout after 4 weeks. Spoke to an agent at the rb site, he says you have to earn $50 rakeback in a week before payout. Ive earnt $8 in 4 weeks, so have no hope of clearing $50 every week, ffs. i wasnt hoping for much, just a couple of bucks a week rb to add to my br, so I could move up sooner. Not sure what Im gonna do now? There is a site where there's no minimum rb payout each week, guess I'll have to transfer my money to there.
This sucks.
