Hello fans of my tilty whines!

I am here with my SECOND operation which shall document my journey from the almost start of 10nl (like 25% in) to 25nl @ 30 buy-ins. So let's spell that out nice and bold like:

Current BR: $370 (give or take by the time you read this)

Goal: $750

I beat my last target of taking my role from around $260 ish at the very start of my second shot at 10, to $360 ish making me firmly settled into the land of ten. I AM a 10nler, good and proper now.

What's more is i feel, after hitting around the 10k hand mark, that i have it figured out and can probably beat it with some consistency.

Current win rate: 3.96 PTBB/100
Goal: 6 PTBB/100

I currently feel like something of a 10nl know-it-all at the moment. Not because i can DESTROY my stake but because i really know it, and know how to get through at a reasonable win rate. Not amazing win rate, but reasonable.

It took me almost 10k hands to realise this $$ saving concept:

At 10nl on Stars... people bet strong/raise/check-raise/shove with MORE than TPTK around 75% of the time. Usually it's two pair, but also it's just surprise big hands. So if you start to get this and fold, you'll save a ton of money. I mean a LOT of money.

Next concept:

Tighten up. Just do it. Throw those 'ok' hands away. Things get marginal, better players can carry on with such hands but if you're not one of those players, don't play those cards. Throw, throw and throw those hands away. Just got 3bet with AQ? unknown player? throw it. That kind of thing.

Summary of the above:

Just sit back and wait for your big hands. Open up 4 tables and fold those medium hands. Let your range be polarized at this stake, they won't adjust. We should be starting tables at fishy times of day and shutting down the tighter tables.

Concepts beyond the above and concepts for me to start to play with:

Checking big flops. I HATE slow playing but people really can fold at 10nl at times. Just today i hit 2 pair SO many times and got no action. So thinking about putting in delayed fast plays you could call it. Here's an example:

I admit that it's risky, and i could be wrong overall. But i am wondering, at this level, if over the long run it could be profitable.

Also thin value and getting value in general. I find trying to get thin value at 10nl just risky, but if i can learn to get solid reads and deduce ranges, i can start to open my range IP and open my value betting range. Not quite yet though.

Anyway, i don't want to get into too much here, just an introduction to the ginding that's ahead of me. I anticipate to be playing 25nl some time around August.
