    Don't know what to say since don't have an idea of your playstyle, from what I saw you definately aren't raising enough when there are limpers in the pot, I noticed you were 3xbb raising after a limper, really needs to be 3xbb+1bb for every limper.

    Any reg you have identified as tight, start 3 betting them light, very few are going to 4bet you light and you can outplay them post flop. Also if you 3bet some people at 10nl enough times they will begin to get annoyed and start doing stuff like calling oop with hands like K10 and you just end up stacking them when you have AK.

    Don't semi bluff loose passives, its just not going to work, try and table select better, if you find yourself on a table with 3 'decent' regs at 10nl your not selecting well enough. (of course everyones reads are different)

    I have generally been avoiding happy hour and the hour after happy hour when the tables take about 40 mins to sort themselves out once all the rakeback pros leave.

    Cheers for the feedback and some good advice
    Some of what you say regarding raise sizs hits home and I have tweaked it latley
    What are your opnions on 3 betting oop lightish at NL10--- /> pointless versus the majority ?

    Its not gonna be profitable 3 betting 8 6 oop if your getting called more then 1/3 - 1/4 of the time (people don't like to fold hands like 109s to 3 bets in position). You just make life hard for yourself too and people love to float more in position then out of position.

    If you make it to 100nl you might start trying to balance your range oop but its not worth it at 10nl.

    Yeah I hear ya, IP works v the type of player we looking to exploit at NL10 I guess

    How about doubled bluffs or triples - is it still v this level of oppo very much c bet bluff, don't double if called unless we range draw

    :S

    In a normal raised pot I started to barrel more, but thats because I was very rarely barreling without the goods and this meant I was getting exploited, certainly barrel the cards that you can viably represent.

    In 3 bet pots its determined by your dynamic with the player, you don't want to barrell off to the players who are only ever calling your flop cbets with TPTK or better.

    2 days ago I made a mistake in raising an unknown in a limped pot on the action table with just a flush draw and I bet the turn and river and he check called both streets with 3rd pair 3 kicker, felt like a right plonker but it gave me a reminder of why not to barrel loose passives.

    Ok not played that much since Valentines but when I have played it hurt my confidence
    NL10 seems to be treating me not very well and frankly my Kings into Aces and sets over sets and all these cold horrible shizzlers plus some stooooooooooooooooopid cold decks - draws missing

    just the normal downs
    hopefully some upswings are coming
    I did FT the £250 GTD and got AIPR dominating oppo's hand (AQvA10+KQvQJ) on both occasions but lost both :(
    oppos hitting 3 outers for fun, so sad is this poker game sometimes - busted in 6th for £20 but it only reduced the pain to my shrinking BR

    Poker is a cruel game when it's running against you :)

    Start BR £230
    Current BR £208

    been there rancid,
    got the t-shirt.....lol

    that is why i,m in no great hurry in moving up levels myself.
    you don,t need to do anything wrong...
    and you can still find yourself 2 or 3 buy-ins down.

    as i,ve always said "know your limits"
    play within your b/roll
    and you,ll be "right as rain".

    keep going though buddy,
    you,ve got game

    Yeah I have gone for maybe a tight BR (£230) for NL10 but I am sure I'll be ok
    Hopefully I won't have to top it up :S
    Saying that I am trying to stick the mindset of "This is my entire BR"
    Playing NL10/£5 DYM/£2-5 MTT should provide enough of a challenge

    I can easily beat it, just depends if the poker gods deem me worthy )
    Last night they never but tonight may be my night !

    Slight Hijack Rancid - hope you don't mind?  - GREAT thread BTW!
    @Ncolley - I've not seen this before. Could you expand please?  e.g. Just tourneys? Also, does the stage of tourney/position change this?

    Hi glenelg, this flaw in rancids game was aimed specifically at nl10 cash.

    You can apply the same strategy in the early stages of the tournament/dyms where you are sitting deep.
    Once the stacks become much shallower you won't need to isolate so big.

    A10 here sigh...... was co close to shoving on you too but remembered I'm a nit and it's a **** DYM where I have 3700 lol.

    Yeah volume has worked well but success (for now) is purely down to tighter BRM strategy, without it I would have been back to £3.30 yesterday :(.

    Another thing that's surprised me is how much volume you need to challenge the top 30 STT guys, at one stage I was around 80 wins from 30th but now down to a tiny 18 after just a splash of sustained volume, early days but I reckon I should just squeuk into it.

    Good luck to you too mate, just not on my tables ;).
