lol ive never understood why some regs c/jam AK in 3bet pots as pfr

wiz, how did it go?

brian, fwiw I head that nl200->nl400 is the toughest jump.

I'd be interested to know difference between nl400 and nl1k. A lot of nl1k regs seem to play nl400+, so the games might be really similar in today's poker world. Not to mention nl1k=nl5k (I'd expect...)

it feels cool/balla

i lost something like 8 consecutive all ins in 3b pots with flush draws on the flop during my downswing. drove me batty.

because it works, a lot

the conversation i was reading revolved around 3/6 being really fishy lately and 1/2 and 2/4 being chock full of solid winning or slightly winning regs

its just funny as its like not balanced at all at 50 or 100nl and a c/jam in that spot is alllways AK/draw

(dunno about 200nl obv)

well, someone has to be losing. I srsly doubt that nl600 is softer than 400. But then again, what do I know. Maybe lots of guys prefer 24tabling and dont want to 24table nl600/not enough games run, idk

your downswing is over?

Pretty sure this not true at all. The difference between the two is prob not as huge as the difference between 50nl -> 200nl though.

I do this all the time in HU. Works so well cos people just auto stab ever flop and always leave huge amounts of dead money because they bet so huge.

yeah i was on about 6m w/ more defined ranges

hu is obv different with so many more pots being 3b pots in general

well i moved down to 25nl to get my head straight and to work on my game, have been winning even though i am something like 20bi under ev at 25nl since moving down. so i don't feel like my downswing is over at all but i do feel like i am playing really well. have been working on my emotional state more than anything.

i have a tendency to play only about 2 hours when i am winning and for some stupid reason to play like 6 or more when losing. that has probably been the thing that has cost me the most money because i lose aggression and interest in smaller pots the longer i play. then it just becomes a game of coolers.

It's also funny how I said I do this all the time considering Ive been playing HU for less than 2 weeks. :P

From reading oldjude's well and from a few other sources 1k nl from 400-600nl is a difference. The player pool does have some same group, but I keep hearing 400-600nl regs are just overly spazzy. Where 1k reg's seem to rein in it a bit.

But I wouldn't say there is a ton of difference between 100nl and 200nl or really even 50nl. I've played 350k hands at those stakes, mostly 100nl. The best reg's like pobolero and midnghttoker own hard, but seems a lot of reg's get comfortable at those stakes without a real desire to improve and move up. Like they have decent foundamentals and okay preflop. But do not table select well, adjust to the game flop and dynamic well, and play a standard way without thinking about how to exploit leaks.

the check shove AK line is really for use against weak tight villains, not so much tags and definitely not the fish

ya got nitrolled villain took 15s to call playing 1table

ouch, don't play too long. it's against the laws of poker to run well when you first move up.

yeah i read somewhere the biggest difference is 1knl has alot more controlled aggression in better spots rather than mindless spaz agression at 400/600nl

and hand reading is generally a lot better, which i guess is obvious

Lost about 800$, no problem though, still confident i could beat 200nl but will probably table select a ton because it does seem to be reg infested. Probably going to play 100nl until the weekend.

^^thats wise
