NL to limit challenge - week 2

[greg nice]

intro
week1


me, snowbank, and someone else were participating in this and hopefully they will post their progress as well. i guess first my stats progress. i overwrote my previous screenshot so if you check week1 you will see the same image.



based on my stats im inclined to say im running well, however not being accustomed to limit i dont know if thats the case or not. however i play so tight that whenever im in a pot, im very aggressive because im so confident that i have the best hand and will be paid off. the tables feel so passive that i can just push people around. i suppose as i move up in limits this will change.



but as far as im concerned, the play at this level has been fairly bad from what i can tell. being a NL player i still think i fold too often. if i think im beat i will just let it go rather that risk losing more. however in NL it could mean risking my whole stack. here its just a bet. i know this is incorrect and that i should be thinking in terms of "1 bet to win 9.. i only need to be ahead 10% of the time to make this call correct." im working on this.


one example of bad aggression on my part. i had been raising fairly often preflop so i figured he might have been a little loose. i decided to cap and take the lead and put the pressure on him to hit the flop. he ended up having AK here and dragging it. looking at the results i think he would fold to a bet on the river..
