A guide too crushing your winrate at 100NL

Rob"Life of a bankroll nit"(a member of boards.ie poker forum and nl200 6 max player posted this advice 2 posts back

"Just going through some of the entries. Some random thoughts. Stop calling 5bet all ins with 85s or whatever, like I know you realise this but whatever is going on that makes you do it you need to identify it and stop it. It's absolutely pointless subscribing to DC,CR reading 2+2 posting hands etc just to eke out some more for your win rate when your making gigantic errors such as that.

A sort of continuation of the above point as I am guessing they occur for the same reasons. Your are way too obsessed with floating and 4 betting light and cr bluffing. At 100nl and below if you never ever 4 bet light, fire a double barrel, 3 bet a cr etc I am willing to bet your win rate would sky rocket. There are times when you need to step back and remember what your trying to achieve and that is make profitable decisions. I think you likely get too worked up in the moment.

Good luck!"


Talk about nail and hammer job, especially the bolded part. Not to disappoint Rob in his thoughts, here's some hands from my last session which sum everything up perfectly. So until the end of this month I am only playing 9 tables max and I will not play any turbo tables so I can learn to take time over a decision instead of just tilt shoving and going "hmmm shouldnt shoved there, never really beat much"




Watch, learn and repeat.
