Took a shot at 10nl, like I said I would. I dropped 5 buyins, leaving my bankroll at about $150. So I decided to grind out 2nl and 5nl to get back to $200. The main change I did was changing from 6-max to full ring, and just nitting it up, and table selecting as best as I can. So I grinded it out for about 15000 hands and made my money back. The corresponding graph for this is seen below.
I think I was playing scared at 10nl, and playing too weak, slowplaying when I should have been value betting, and bet/3b jamming, when in hindsight, I should have been bet/folding. Playing 16-24 tables of 2 or 5nl eliminates my ego from the equation, and I just make as many profitable decisions as I know.
Regarding moving up in stakes, instead of taking another shot immediately, I will keep grinding 2nl and 5nl until I reach $300, then start with 2 tables at 10nl, and keep doing what I was doing. I don't imagine 10nl will be significantly harder to beat, but I just have to remove my fear of losing.
I have also signed up for a 3 month subscription to GrinderSchool.com. I will watch their videos and try to learn new things. Maybe one day, I can make some real money.
