So it's been a while since my last update.
I recently switched to FR since I have major tilt issues at 6m. As a result I was able to push my BR over the 300 dollar mark in a little over a day. I feel like the game I was playing at 6m translated extremely well to FR. It brought to light a few things about my 6m game that need addressing if I am ever going to be more than a BE player there. I have a huge problem finding the line between outplaying people and just value-towning myself.
As my brief stint at 6m showed me tonight. I just don't have the right play style to ever beat micro stakes right now. I stack off way too light at 6m because I do not give my shitty opponents credit. I think that is why FR is the thing for me because I am forced to consider them always having a better hand. For instance today, I was dealt QQ towards the end of my session and called a 3bet OOP. The flop was all under cards and I ended up stacking off even though in the back of my mind I knew he probably had KK which he did. The very next hand I was dealt AA and 4bet shoved over a flop 3bet on a K-high board. Villain showed a set, go figure. The very next hand I was dealt AA. Again a K high board and again I am facing a 3bet. Only this time, the pot is 3way and a loose shorter stack 4bet shoves. Now in 6max this would probably be an insta call since there is a flushdraw on the board. However, I weighed my options and laid down the bullets to see my two opponents flip a set and a nut flush draw. The set held up to take the pot.
I quit my tables and fired up some two 6m to see if I had learned anything. Lo-and-behold I felt pretty sharp and was making some good bluffs and playing pretty intelligently. But then a couple river rats later and I find myself stacking off with 66 just because PT3 says that my opponent has a 53% steal and 20% 3bet. Seriously wtf. Just lay that shit down at 10NL. Clearly I don't have the self control to stop trying to meta-game own kids who have no clue what the compound word meta-game even means. I drop close to 3 buy ins in around 100 hands and vow to never play 6max again until I hit a level where metagame is useful or until I gain some semblance of self-control (hopefully the latter happens first). Still holding a profit today of around 3 buy ins but shitting away those last 3 was unexcusable.
FR, onward and upward.
Oh.
