thanks martin. you are on the same level as i am. keep posting hh's and playing short (50 minute), smart (no distractions) sessions and you will get the same results. also work up to 8 tables at a time ifyou have 2 monitors.

thanks zook. i hope pokerroom and cryptos are the same as party. i dont have rakeback at party (triptanes told me it wasnt worth it at 25NL, should i work on getting it if i stay at 100NL?)

I also find 100nl softer than 50, but I switched to more sites than party/stars and started playing SH and a little more laggy. Otherwise I wouldn't say there's much difference besides the blinds and stacks being 2x more.
yeah the aggro factor reflects my aggro (i think) flop play, and i slow down quite a bit if i get cold called pf/flop.. as most of the time im missing cbets as is. if i just hit tptk im usually just trying to show down cheap.. and if i hit something big draw or 2pr or better im usually going nuts.

I hope so! It sure has been the case for 25NL. Actually seems to be less nits and more people calling me down/not believing my cbets or big hands. 2x+ the profit for me.

Ouch man, I hope I'm not unlucky and hit a downswing at the moment i move up. You are def a good player ive played against you before and stayed away. Not sure how much of a cushion im going to give myself.. probably a 5 buyin cushion at this point. I will def be posting a lot more HHs again as i move up. I havent been posting hands for a while as ive been on cruise control.

Im asking because I like to get a consensus before doing something like this. Last time I posted this question I didnt feel ready, but my broll was technically 20 buyins. So i stayed down there for 12k more hands. that post was:

OK, I am going to try willhill tomorrow early pm to hopefully play some euros. If that doesnt go well i might sit at 50NL for a while until the fast upcoming weekend. Ill be down with only a laptop this weekend so ill be 4 tabling most likely so that might help ease myself into it as well.

Try and identify these guys and take extensive notes on them. That being said, they are few and far between, so im sure that youll be fine.
Thanks, Ill watch out for the regulars. Pokertracker/hud should help. Perhaps i should finally upgrade gametime+ into pokeracehud?? i hate to change when its working well but something to think about.. i am not to anxious to move past 100 or 200NL, as the population drops dramatically.

any other questions?
umm what levels/sites are you playing at?? you seem to be well experienced and i love your posts. just dont know a whole lot about your situation. you should have a blog yourself! i enjoy your avs as well.

Thanks. Interesting idea switching to 6max. However I dont think 6max is for me at this point. I might need to go to that if someday i move beyond 200NL, as the fish may get scarce. However my play will need to adjust dramatically and I dont think I can handle the swings. You seem to be adjusting quite well.
