Does anyone have any insight about differences in skill level on bovada Zone between .10/.25 NL Zone and .25/.50 NL Zone? I am talking about general skill level in the player pool.

In other words, if you can beat .10/.25, does it stand to reason you can beat .25/.50 at the same rate?

Yes, $50nl is tougher if that's what you're asking. Winning at the same rate at $25nl is unlikely to say the least. People are $25nl are ****ing awful.

You're going to get a bunch of players who are rolled for $100 but not $200 who play $50 because $100nlz doesn't run or people running bad at $200 that come to play $50nl

I think I am going to stick with $25nlz for now. I have been playing $5nlz and decided to give $25nlz a try. I was winning $25nlz so I thought I'll try $50nlz. I'm down 4 buyins in 2 days, I know its a small sample size but it seems like I'm outmatched in 50nlz.

That's literally nothing. You could easily lose 4 buy-ins in less than 100 hands and still be a huge crusher let alone 4 days of play. Not to say that you couldn't be outmatched, but losing 4 buy-ins over several days doesn't show whether that's true or not.

It just seems like the play was more advanced than $25nlz. I got 3bet from sb with 78s. I had AJ otb. He had
gssd on flop, he bet f/t, i hit tptk on turn, he hits gssd on river and jams river, of course I call. I've rarley seen a polarized 3bet range like that in $5nlz or $25nlz. It seemed like there were more river jams. I know sample size is small but I could see in a short time a much higher level of play.
