Hi!

I am not sure this is the subforum to post this so if any moderator thinks it isn´t feel free to move it .

I moved to NL25 like a month ago. Now I am back in NL10. I couldn´t do worst in NL25. I guess my problem was a mixture of some facts.

first: It was hard to be aggresive since all pots semmed too large to me.

Second: I was no able to fold strong hands when I knew I was underdog.

Thrid: I migth suck at this .

I will post some hands. I have like 20 hands losing a buy-in I will be posting some of them. I could use some advice from most experienced players. I will not select the hands, just will post those I lost more money. I will not make any comments about these hands, some of them are really embarassing

Well, these are my top four losing hands in NL25, of course they are not the worst ones regarding the play, but I will be posting more crapy hands soon. I really could use some advice,

thanks to all,

Ignatius

Hand 1 is fine, just a cooler

hand 2 depends a bit on his stats, you want to know if villain 3bets QQ+ and how aggressive he is. If he is passive you can fold the river and maybe even the turn, if he is aggressive you`re line is fine.

hand 3 again you need stats, but in general I think its better to call the turn and check/fold the river.

hand 4 I wouldnt raise the river, the only hand that would call that you beat is KJ, you split against KQ and you lose to 66,99,AK,AA,KT,KK. If villain is passive you can probably even fold the river, I think villain almost certainly has at least a K. 

I think hands 1 and 3 are coolers. Hand 2 you should fold on the turn, unless you know villain is spewy. Hand 4 you should fold the river, unless villain is a known to 3 barrel a lot. Reraising the river is a big mistake I think, as you never get called by worse hands, turning your good hand in a bluff.

I agree with both your analysis. I my next part I will try to add some stats. One big leak preventing me to become a good player is that is hard for me to fold good hands that given the circumstances are not longer good. I hope I can learn to do it before going bankrupt :s

Thanks for your opinion guys! I will post My NL25 experience part II soon [you shouldn´t answer all my posts so nicely unless you want to get to My experience in NL25 part XX   :´  ]
