Recently i googled 'moving up from 50nl to 100nl', and got a lot of interesting threads which talk about this jump. Helped me a fair bit.
Hey thanks for dropping by. So far from what I've played of 100NL it seems like there are slightly less fish, still loads of shortstackers and the regs are better. There's still a ton of mindless aggro monkey ones, but there's also some actual decent winners aswell as people who have played much higher dropping down.

I think you have to learn to deal with aggression a bit more easily and not play as fit or fold vs post flop aggression as one might be able to get away with at 50NL.

I'll check out some threads and see what others think aswell.

Anyways, today was a really good day since I won a couple of BIs at 100NL 6max and won like 4BIs playing 50NL HU. I probably wont make too much of a habit out of this as the rake is lol gay and 6max is my main strength imo. It was funny today though a few regs refused to play me after PTRing me - the disadvantage of being a luckbox ios that it makes you look good and stops you getting action.

This month has started extremely well indeed. If i can keep it going strong it'll be my biggest winning month for sure. If you looked at my results you'd think I was absolutely crushing, but I really feel like I'm mianly just running really well right now. I'm trying to stay focussed and grounded becasue i know a downswing will always show up, it's just a matter of time. My main wekaness as a player in the long term is not being able to play well during downswings and frankly just avoiding playing through fear of running terribad. My next biggest test as a player will be how i handle the next one. If you catch me saying shit like "I jus need a break for 3 weeks" or anything like that pls slap me with a large trout.

Milestone news: now made 5k from poker in the last 115,000 hands. Most I've ever made without cashing out my entire roll. Who knows maybe this will be the time I actually make it as a player.

Peace for now.
