My goal in March was to take a shot at €50NL and to hopefully permanently move up. Well I took a shot on the 1st of the month and got owned for 2 buy-ins 
So Wow, welcome to €50NL and it wasn’t really going as planned.
Previously, this would really have put me off to either move straight back down or to even stop playing altogether for a while. But on reflection when I went back through the hands, there was a lot of coolers (KK v AA, QQ v KK etc) and to be honest I lost the minimum on a lot of my hands where worse players would have lost a great deal more.
I was also pleased with how my tilt control went on this losing session and on going through my hands, I realised how bad the players were at this level and so decided to keep going with my shot.
Well to cut a long story short, I grinded it back and managed to stay up at €50NL for the whole month and finished up for the month by a small amount:
Ok, so the graph isn’t as pretty as last months but the level of play seemed to have so much more variance than at €25NL There were quite a few TAG regulars against whom it’s difficult to win a big pot, but there were also a lot of fish, but lots of different types of fish – Some LAG tards, some stations and everything in between. The hard part was working out what their value betting ranges were and how to adjust to that.
Very often, a very passive line was the most profitable post flop vs the aggro tards, but it can take you out of your comfort zone calling down three streets with just TPNK or even MPNK.
So anyway, my final results were:
Hands: 7138
Winnings: + €117
Winrate: 1.7 ptbb / 100
Bonuses: + € 60
= Total winnings for the month: +€ 177
So obviously not a huge amount, but overall I’m pleased to finish up for the month while moving up to €50NL.
My goal for April is to stay up at €50NL and adjust even more profitably vs the fish.
GL at the table
