Hey everyone, hope you're all doing well!
I've recently uncovered some key strategies for dominating NL2 and NL5, and I'm excited to apply them as I move up to crush NL10. Here's what I've observed:
2. The Average Players (NITs or Fish): These players don’t engage their brains much. They either wait for the nuts (and trust me, they usually get paid) or limp along, hoping to hit the effective nuts on the flop. Their betting patterns are predictable. On platforms like pokerstars, they stick to standard bets (min-bet, 50%, or full pot), while on 888poker, they might use 33%, 50%, or 66.7% bets.
3. The Suckers: Known by many names—the table’s fish, the whale, the crazy, or the donator—these players are easy to spot. Your strategy against them is simple: wait for a strong hand (two pair or better) or exploit them by stealing pots when they fold on the flop more than 60% of the time. Bluffing against them with any two cards can yield instant profits.
3. The Suckers: Few whales and a lot of fish
NL10: ... I don't know ... LOL
Please tell me how is it going in the NL10, NL25, NL50, and NL100 pools

NL2: Understanding the Player Types
1. The Crushers: These are the best players at NL2. They have a solid, all-around knowledge of poker, but their understanding can be a bit surface-level. For example, they know you should donk bet on boards like 654(r), but they don’t always grasp the deeper reasoning behind it. Their strategy is straightforward: ABC poker. They bet strong hands, fold weak ones, and exploit passive and overly loose players by value betting frequently. bluffing is minimal, and they rarely tilt.2.

NL5: Understanding the Player Types
1. The Crushers: At NL5, usually this time when HUDs start to appear and aggression becomes common, you are going to feel that it is a different poker game, these players are the players who have read a book or 2, watch streamers but I found that their weakness are the following :- Inconsistent Aggression: May struggle to balance aggression appropriately, either being too passive in some spots or overly aggressive in others.
- Table Selection Neglect: Often ignore the importance of selecting favorable tables, leading to tougher and less profitable games.
- Limited Post-Flop Skills: Post-flop play can be mechanical, lacking nuanced understanding of board textures and opponent range.
