Hey was in a rush before.

You can totally beat 100nl, hell you have beaten it you've just gone backwards for a while. You really need to think about this and work on it.

Are you REALLY sure that this LAG/SLAG approach is both right for you, and right for the games you play? The whole point of it is you should be winning lots of small pots and turning up with the nuts in the big pots. That doesnt seem to be whats happenning, so it looks like you're doing something wrong there.

Think about your game when you were beating 100nl. Maybe you can go back to that style with minor adjustments rather than a complete overhaul? Maybe you need to shell out for a bit more training from someone who specialises in a similar approach and see if they can help you spot whats going wrong?

Have you read the PNL book I've talked about a few times? I'm not suggesting go all passive like I do at times, but really think about when and how to build your pots and when pot control makes more sense.

I thought I played a much nittier game than normal, which ended out to be 21/17/2.7. I'm thinking my aggression should increase.
Again I dont want to berate you into changing if you dont think thats right, but right there you're all excited about how you played and the money you won playing a basic TAG approach but then finish by saying you need to change things from it. Maybe you dont?

I watched a vid posted on 2+2, I think I gave you the link. It was from a guy who played like 40/35 or something silly like that. He was a big winner at the 100-200nl level. One thing that stood out was his game revolved around raising preflop and cbetting. He rarely continued in a hand beyond that without a lot of strength. That was all it took to play that approach and win at a very good rate.

Whatever you decide, you need to analyse your game and work out where it is you're going wrong. At the very least plug into your friends (with broadband connections) and get them to sweat some sessions. Maybe do another video or two and give to a few people to watch and look at.

Dont be passive about it, take action and turn this shit around. You've got a lot of support from friends in the poker game, so take advantage of that and get them to help however you (or they) think they can.
