Soon I fell in love with this game and realized that I wanted to know more, so I could have an edge. Started to read Harrington, the two cash games books. Boy I loved it and it gave me a lot of confidence. Deposited 100 bucks, started playing NL5, tight tight tight, small hand small pot big hand big pot, abc poker and went to 430 piranhahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12079447807618529365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3503203097950401361.post-34895980256890803432017-10-09T18:16:39.855+07:002017-10-09T18:16:39.855+07:00This comment has been removed by the author.piranhahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12079447807618529365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3503203097950401361.post-65862785539266887672017-09-23T17:55:15.035+07:002017-09-23T17:55:15.035+07:00Hey Jason,

Yup absolutely, if you are finding the 5NL games there to be full of loose/passives then go ahead and approach them with that ABC patient style for 2NL like I discuss in Crushing the Microstakes.BlackRain79https://www.blogger.com/profile/13583442498190608166noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3503203097950401361.post-32623505270615818982017-09-23T05:32:10.283+07:002017-09-23T05:32:10.283+07:00Hi Nathan,

I've learned more about poker from you in 2 months than I did my first 2-3 years. Thanks for helping out poor suckers like me!<br /><br />I play at Ignition since I'm US based and the lowest stake there is 5NL.

What I enjoyed about 5nl is you play more regs which actually makes you have to improve your game. It was more exciting and challenging playing 5nl.

I play live poker (tournaments and cash) for a little more than 7 years now and I just started the online in microstakes NL2. I wanted to know how much I have to win in an hour session with 2 or 3 tables, to be considered a profit? I made 10 dollars in 3 days playing probably a total of 5 or 6 hours.

I assume that you have filtered for hands that go to the flop or something. You could further filter by the actions that you took to see if there is any big profit differences. And also, just start reviewing them one by one.

My shots to NL10 were crappy and soon after I decided to quit for a while.I was somehow arrived.<br /><br />Begin of February I decided to restart with 60€ (some like USD) from NL2.
