NL5 - NL10 A moving up post

rjacobs003 · #1 09-01-2007, 08:50 PM

So here goes with the obligatory moving up post. Heading to NL10 ($0.02/$0.05) until I hit the $300 mark then going to jump to NL10 ($0.05/$.10) . Any and all views/comments appreciated. If you need to see any other stats please feel free to ask. Some points I noted when I did a full analysis:
I've done well in addressing the problems I had with big suited kings following my last analysis. Unfortunately small pairs are still an issue and a new addition to the list is AQs!!! I'm more than 300 big bets in the red with that hand alone!!! So the watchlist is updated and I'll focus on these identified hands specifically.

Position and aggression
My aggression is still very good but my early position play is taking a knock. I need to fold more hands under the gun and also in the small blind. Bizarrely I'm playing profitably out of both blinds....

Blind stealing and defence
I'm still showing a loss from stealing but I've done well in pulling it back since the 11.5k hand mark. Blind defence is excellent at the moment - I'm choosing my spots very well.

Heads-up
Giving back quite a bit here. Looks like I'm not aggressive enough when I get heads-up and this is costing me.

Other
I've managed to pull back the cold-calling habit some but unsuited connectors still seem to be a problem here. Need to really focus on adopting more of a raise/fold mentality with these hands.

dood.. hit NL10 with $100 or $150 max. start worrying about bankroll rules at NL50+..

Just trying to get the disciplines right early on. Bad bankroll management has been a big problem for me in the past so I'd prefer to be a bit nitty about it.

1) why do you have pokertracker if you are playing on $0.02/$0.05? you don't think that $50+ could have been used for your bankroll?

2) NL10 is $0.05/$0.10

3) looks like your results are solid, move to 05/10 pls.

you are pretty loose passive, tighten up from the blinds
