NL5 Problems

Hello , I have beat NL2 4 zoom with 4.5bb/100. I took 7 NL5 shots and all of them failed ( -$35).

What are the mandatory adjustments I need to make to maintain a +EV gameplay?

People tend to 3bet / 4bet really light in and out of position...How to cope with that? Should I 4bet light as well and play a LAG game or tighten up and fold to every 4bet on guys I don't know stats ?

e.g I call 1 out of 4 4bets on a guy and he end up having KK for an overpair winning the pot. Was he bluffing / semi-bluffing on the rest 3 4bets ?

In NL2 I simply waited a hand and never called a turn raise without 2pair+. I also rarely hero called the river 3rd barell. Are hero calls necessary in NL5 as people bluff jam too often to keep a good winrate?

Thanks!! Hope I'll fix my leaks!!

Don't overthink it. Games are pretty much the same. Keep focusing on playing well, preparing, taking breaks and improving.

It's hard to say like that. If you could say which range do you open from which position and which do you 3bet/4bet and how you react to 3bets, I would give a few suggestions and start a discussion.

The game NL2, NL5 and NL10 are the same.
If you're doing well in NL2, you'll also do well in NL5. Keep using the same strategy. Be patient and do not let the limit rise affect your thoughts.

Sorry for my bad english, but
I see a lot of 3bet light IP on NL5 and my response is a 4bet light OOP with strong blocker QTs KQof AJo to fold 5bet/shove . but they fold a lot, to 4bet, when they call and the flops come dry the standart cbet works well or delay cbet. I see too many players with AK dont fold until see river with any board

I have the same problem. I am playing Zoom NL5 SH, and there are a lot of guys that 3-bets, squeeze light and calls 3 bets OOP with trash. One of solvations is go to HM2 and some quilators and make some calculations.

The micro zoom pools are some of the most tight passive games you can find online anywhere. When you say a lot I assume you mean a lot more than 2NL, but the games are still super passive compared to almost any other 6max game.
