Shot taking at 50NL

So, I am now taking shots at 50NL playing 2 tables of Zoom, with the intention of moving back down if I lose 2 stacks. The reason I am taking these shots is 1) My Showdown winnings are finally recovering so I am in a good frame of mind rather than making myself think they always have the nuts. 2) I have been watching a few good training videos from DC that have been focusing on 100NL on Stars and I think a lot of what is discussed in these videos is applicable to 50NL.

So whats the plan of attack. Atm through 20k hands at 25NL I am playing 13/11/2.5 (Which is super nitty) However I believe this is the best approach to Zoomatron. My only worry is my 3b is too low however I think this is because my 3b range is skewed towards nuts. Which lets be honest is fine at 25NL as there are plenty of fish and not so much need to balance. At 50NL however I will undoubtedly have to increase my 3b freq.


Anyway so a quick graphski of my 50NL exploits
As you can see it was only 1k hands, it was only 1 session and when it's later at night and I have been at work all day I try and stick to 1k hands at a time. Was really nice to scoop a big pot 2 hands after I was to slow to click "sit out next BB"

I noticed almost straight away that there is way more post flow shenanigans and a lot more floating IP compared to 25NL. Although this is a small sample I am fairly confident in this read.

So what am I gonna have to do in order to put a beat on 50NL.

  • Study more.....a lot more.
  • Balance my EP opens
  • 3b a wider range from HJ or later
  • Stop opening small PP's especially vs good regs
  • Study some more
  • Do more hand/session reviews
  • Video some sessions and do some video reviews
  • Look into coaching


(Some crazy video error occured, gonna fix it and reupload tomorrow)


Ok so with that in mind lets review a hand from my shot that whilst I think my reasoning was sound, my sizing was not so good on the flop. Turn and River were fairly standard imo.

That's all I have time for as it is 11:15pm and I have to watch Game Of Thrones before I can go to bed.

So good luck at the tables, until next time.
