Can't beat Nl 2 6 max looooool
boblion, Nov 07 2008
So because i was tired to being raped by rake at 1$ micro sng for a 0-1% Roi, i decided to move to 5$ sng ( "only" 10% rake here loooool )
Since i had only 15 buy-in it was clearly not a good decision. Variance was too high for my br and nerves hopefully i didnt lost money.
Instead i decided to try cash game with my 35euros left.
I was only rolled for NL2 and i chose 6 max like the sng i used to play.
Now the nightmare begins. I'm not good at poker, i'm a beginner and i knew it. But everybody told me " Why u play SNg u stupid, cash game is EZ"
Well, actually cash game is way harder.
I can't beat this limit. I tried to play deep ( 5$) and it doesnt work for me. I spew too much vs short stackers, and i always run bad in deep vs deep confrontations, and i can't afford to lose my whole stack.
Then i tried with 2$ and it doesnt work either. Deep people have really wide ranges and are tricky and short stackers are so agressive
Tips ?
Should i play full ring ?
What are the hand that i should play ?
- i try to limp pairs < 77 if it isnt too expensive
- I will raise pairs > 77
- i might try to limp KK or AA vs one opponent
- i raise Ax(s) ( low x ) if i have position ortherwise i usually limp or fold ( depending on position again )
- i raise AJ/AQ/AK in all positions
- I might limp or raise JT(s), QJ(s), KQ(s) depending on position too.
- i might try to limp the other kind of hands if nobody raises.
Is it ok ? too calling station ?
Also i have big troubles to fold a top pair or a double pair and i tend to spew too much for draws 
Obvious leaks that i need to improve.
I have tried a new rule. I start a table with 2$ and i try to leave when i get to 3$. Is it a good idea ?
Also i play on 3 tables at the same time. I might try 4 if my br increases but i'm quite bad at multi-tasking ( low apm p user ;D ).
Help or i will have to cash out / play donkaments again. .
I have too many leaks ...

Skill is nothing. Variance is everything.
I doubled my Br in 1 week.
Now i lost 1/6 of it in two days. I don't even know why ( except maybe for my last sng when i tilted and went all in on a 366 board with my TT and of course a guy had 69 ( whereas i had raised 3x the bb pre flop haha ).
My style is the same. Sometimes i win when i shouldn't sometimes i lose when i have better odds.
I have seen people with -50% ROI winning whereas they have no clue about math and probabilities.
That is awesome.
Sometimes i wonder if life is the same. Maybe stupid people can also get better jobs and life even if they don't really try.
Mother wariance you are too cool, you make my sharkscope graph look like a roller coaster. I have seen 0.5% winning vs 99.5% and you told me it is standart.
I worship you mother variance. Now let me get ITM please.

Appeler = call
Relancer = reraise
mise = raise
parole = check
se coucher = fold
For those who dont understand why i didnt post the hand history, i have asked Titan to send me yesterday and i'm still waiting ... Anyway it is a quality bad beat.
99.5% vs 0.5% on the flop
I think if this fucking monkey was playing with me IRL i would have punched him in the face. I can understand to loss here vs 77 or KK but not vs QJ when this retard raised on the flop with NOTHING.
