Hawkfan, good luck gettin' back track. I've regrouped and gotten a big chunk of my roll back, plus been helped by rakeback. So I took a shot at 25nl last night. Here are the results:



I like the 20/16/4.55 profile. It's tight enough for 6max. My 35% steal blind attempts and 30+ VP$P from the SB are both higher than normal because the games on Absolute tend to be VERY passive and picked up a lot of sc's in the SB where a couple of limpers were in and the BB seemed very unlikely to raise.

I didn't play weak-tight. I 2barreled a few times successfully, and even 3barreled once. But I also laid down hands. I folded AQ preflop from the SB after a raise and a call. I just didn't feel like playing out of position with a hand that can be trouble.

I also ran well. When I picked up KK and QQ, the overcards did NOT hit. I picked up a couple of sets and got played back at. I picked up AA and got people limping and raising in front of me. But the last few times I've played 25nl, I've run bad. So it wasn't completely unfair to get some cards and play them well.

Final thought: only play 25nl when I can bring my A game. My B game doesn't even break even here, yet. It's no problem to drop back to 10nl for a night or two when I'm exhausted, or stressed, or not feeling well.

I plan to post another article in here this weekend - get back track with my posting and writing. Good luck at the tables people!!
