btw, I really cant remember why I called K5s. If I was on my game then I'd guess he wasnt positionally aware and checked/folded a lot of missed flops. If I was off my game then I was probably tilted.

The point with those hands, was I played those big made hands identically to how I played the big draws I've been posting lately. In fact its really the opposite, I (try to) play my big draws the same way I play my big hands for balance. What I'm picking up though, is that against especially strong ranges that balance matters less than the fact that I'd be getting my draws in against strong ranges. So its like an exception to the rule where I really would be polarised towards nut hands in some situations. Also I just plain get it wrong some times, like if I had a set in the 85s hand in the SH forum I'd have donked for sure I think. Also with the A3s hand above, yeah if I had a set I'd probably raise to 60 or so. I shove for the extra FE but I obviously need to consider whether thats worth it, or whether I should keep my lines identical.

One thing I'm finding at 200nl is that its really the first level where I'm finding villains both capable of thinking clearly, and being prepared to act on their conclusions of my ranges. This means I need to be more considered and thoughtful of my own ranges and lines than I'm used to.
