2NL premature?

Thanks. It's "TakingAShot" over at PokerStrategy.com. If you email them or send an admin a message I'm sure they'll fix it. There actually is a pretty lucrative refer a friend program over there so I'd greatly appreciate it.

The content on there is fantastic and absolutely perfect for where you're at. Trust me, if you really dig into that material and apply the concepts at the table (especially the mental game), you WILL improve quickly. There's just no question. The only other training site that's on that level today is RedChipPoker and I think a ton of that material would just be way over your head at this point. Still, they do offer a 1 week free trial so it really couldn't hurt to check it out.

I would avoid 2p2 at this point. The advice over there, as well as the community as a whole, has degraded tremendously. Most of the guys posting advice in the micro/small stakes cash games threads either haven't played in over a year (even more in some cases) or just aren't winning players so they spend their time on the forums, instead. There are also trolls there who give you horrific advice on purpose because they play in the same games as you. FlopTurnRiver, PokerStrategy, and RedChipPoker are a cut above the rest. RunItOnce deserves a mention, too. They have an essential package for $10 USD a month but the overwhelming majority of their content is for mid and high stakes online players so I decided I don't need it yet.

Thanks for the scoop. I'll see what I can do about referral for ya.

I don't know if you did this or not (I haven't heard anything) but I have to be totally honest: I'm already moving on from PS.com. I'm 5 days under a full month on the site and a ton of the material is just too basic at this point. It's gotten to where I'm correcting 25NL player's HH's and explaining different concepts to them. There's something seriously wrong with that.

I have 2 days left on my RedChipPoker trial and I'm going to stick with it for $50/mo. The other thing I might get this weekend is Upswing Poker's video package on post flop play. RCP and Upswing Poker are both absolutely amazing sites with high level thinkers and all of the material is either right on the cutting edge of theory or creating brand new theory itself.





Things have changed drastically for me. As you can see from the yellow line, I've actually been running bad lately and have been on a huge upswing at the same time.




I'm @ +1.07 bb/100 over 6,559 hands this month and my all in adjusted is +3.02 bb/100. Before anyone says it: I know I shouldn't even look at those numbers and until just now, I hadn't. I'm taking them back off of my report configuration. Beats are part of the game and there's really no need to adjust your results. They are what they are. Everyone takes beats so your true bb/100 is all that matters. The 2NL whales are just cake now and the regs who were pushing me all over the place at the beginning of the month are now easily exploitable. I'm just going to keep my motivation, hard work, and dedication to the game up while also keeping any expectations or entitlement out of my mind.
