Moved up to the $.02/$.05 tables with the same super tight strategy, and it paid. Would have paid more but I didn't let go of top pair with guess what? KQo, lol. I got minraised on the flop, and put the guy on a set. He didn't bet it hard, but extracted from me every street, and took about $2.50 extra, with a flopped set of 6's. I was mad at myself for doing that, especially since I'd just won a nice pot by flopping top 2 pair with AQ.
I won another nice pot as I was closing games out with a flopped set of 8's. Here's what the session ended up looking like.
Dealt 402 hands
Saw flop:
-42 of 74 times in big blind (56%)
-7 of 74 times in small blind (9%)
-19 of 254 times in other (7%)
Total of 68 of 402 times (16%)
Pots won at showdown - 7 of 15 (46%)
Pots won w/out showdown - 36
I played for one hour, making 62.20 big bets, and 15.47 big bets per 100 hands. I'm definitely happy with that, and .02/.05 is going to be my home for awhile. I'm sticking to this extreme nit style at least for now. I don't see any need to expand upon it if I'm beating the game for 15.5BB/100. If I hadn't donked off on that one hand, which I easily should have avoided, I would have been at 21.7BB/100, that's not too bad. If I kept that kind of winning up, which seems very very very possible, I'd even say likely, than my bankroll could be about to experience some serious growth.
Sticking at 15.5BB/100 would get my roll up $311 a week if I could make 50 hours a week. Of course I haven't gotten a streak of beats today, but I truly think the beats aren't going to come as often with this style, due mainly to the nature of style itself. I'm not taking many flops to begin with. Pocket pairs, suited aces, and AK/AQ. Even if I hit top pair, I'm not getting tangled in pots too much. I got caught once, but I won't be doing that in the future. I'm generally cbetting when I raised preflop, which is AK/AQ and pp's 88+ and then leading out/checking to trap when I hit sets. I'm not getting into too many marginal situations, again because I'm playing solid cards.
Anyway, I'm eager to see how this plays out over a more longterm time. I want to get a few thousand hands into poker tracker with this nittyness, and see how it's doing. In all, a very encouraging start to the first changes implemented due to poker tracker analysis.
