2NL Finished!

Despite the fact that 2NL is mind numbingly boring and the suck outs can be painful, the money is very easy. I promised myself I would play 30k hands then move up to 5NL, because I can't stay at that level any longer. Here is are my stats and graph after 33k hands @ 2NL.

Since 5NL is suppose to be equally easy but there is more money for the taking, I'm gonna grind out 50k hands at this level. I wanna do 50k hands mainly cause I love long sessions. If I can still stick to 16 tables profitably I should be able to do 50k hands in a month or so. Hopefully after 20k hands I can find someone to do a 30k hand challenge against.

HEM is such a cool program, I'm learning new stuff about it all the time. In fact I'm going through TONS of information on specific hands. IE I wasn't sure how profitably I've been playing AK, so I've been able to look at my results with AK based on position, 3bets, 4 bets, flats, etc. It accounts for a HUGE portion of my winnings at 2NL, but I've been losing a lot with it lately on bluffs, one in particular (its AQ but virtually the same thing, since the villain is 95/5)

So I will be pouring through all my hand histories and find and fix the leaks that have been costing me alot of money. Lastly I realized that 16 tables aren't too tough and I would like to get more volume in and since I still have $5.55 on stars so I'm gonna grind that out over 3 tables of 2nl, and hopefully get comfortable with 20 tables. Ideally if I can keep adding tables by building my roll on stars I can play the full 24 tables on stars (which would be $64 @2nl) and the full 16 on FTP.
FTP BR=$191
Stars BR=$5.55
Anyways that's enough for today, I start 5NL today so I hope to put in around 8k hands.

Updates will be here soon

  1. Why open shove? Potting or betting $1 will accomplish the same thing and save you much money in the long run when you get called and brick the turn. What did villain have?

    Also, you now have 5 BI on Stars.
