As ewverybody knows i was having a big tilt last months complaining with everybody and with everyhands, something was worng with my game, but i was getting really unlucky spots at same time. Suddenly i felt i was needing to change something in my game, something was wrong with the hands i was playing and i was really needing to change lotys of aspects of my game. First of all, i had to change the stacks i was playing. So here iam now playing Nl2 (feeling bad sometimes, knowing how long i play poker, but happy) trying to change all the bad things of my game. So far so good, finally i found my place at cash tables. I think i wanted to grow fast, not understanding the stacks i was playing. Now iam challeging myself, first step make 100$ profit playing nl2 (not counting with bonus), second step get back the silverstar status (iam making 30vpp per day, this month ill make it easelly), third step and most important keep working in my emotional control when iam playing. Since 22 January i only tilted one day, and because of it i lost 10$ in that day. Playing nl2 is making lots of goods things in my game, i dont feel worried when i have a bad day, cause i know i can get it back easelly next day. Other good thing is the amount of bad players i am finding in the tables, its amazing how people shove really bad hands (iam going to put 2 of them here), and people making lots of my mistakes, never laying down big guns.
Now i can tell to all of the people finding lots of problems in theyr game in the same way i was having, dont feel bad to go down in the stacks, as long as you find the right place for you to play, your game will start to change and youll find a good place for you to start be wining player even if your going to start to win just a few bucks per day.

Definitely. In microstakes play people lose sight of whether your raise is four times the big blind or ten, because the difference is only a few cents and they figure WTF, I want to see a flop, and then their 6-4s has cracked your big pocket pair again. With micros I too prefer to have a very strong hand before committing my stack.

Yes you can play very tight and win (99% in long period) .. it is simply at micro limits.

You dont need to play very tight, in my opinion play tight is a mistake at micros. IUn the micros usually its easier to see where your oppponent is. Play on his mistake its the easier way to beat micros. The hands i putted here was hands of people that simply shoved me the worst hand trying to bluff. Wait for the mistakes and dont overplay hands like Ak AQ or Aj.

I've gotten a mixed opinion on the .02 NL game . sometimes when im pln its like lotto central and others its a really good game.I love the strict guidelines you have put on yourself *the $100 profit*. This is something im going to challenge myself to also.With the time and patience it will take you will deffinatly be ready for the next Level. Good luck in reaching your goal,and keep the forum posted.I personally will be awaiting a thread saying you have madfe it.
