So I'm comfortably rolled for 200nl after a good month and I'm going to be moving up by next month. What can I expect the differences to be from 100nl. I heard this is the hardest jump, is that true?
I expect to get 3 bet more frequently, anything else?
Is there a list of regs I should avoid before I'm comfortable with the stakes?
(It will be stars 200nl btw)
Thanks.
My word of advice, don't do river c/r bluffs expecting them to be capable of folding now :(
mckittrick19, 0evg0, and *cough* will641 *cough* are definitely up there. but seriously most regs are just fairly solid and nothing spectacular, which is why they are playing 200nl.
yeah its more aggressive and definitely a pretty big jump. i would say the jump to 400nl is even bigger though
anybody got a big ass datamine on 0evg0?
400 is a bigger jump imo, but 200 is still a step up from 100. The regs stack off lighter... at first play the same, but watch how/when they stack off lighter and adjust as needed
key is adjusting...and you'll do fine if that's what you think about. If you are a winning 100nl player, its all about taking those adjustments you need at 200 into account.
People suck less and total fish tend to buy in short. The jump to 400, 600 and 1K is harder because those are the levels where pros who don't suck (but can't farm nose-bleed) farm money.
play less tables when u start :)
200nl is all about getting comfortable in 3 bet pots. once you are skillful at these you will destroy.
i think i got a couple thousand hands on him, why?Quote:

and fwiw dont move up. ive moved down to .50/1 so i can figure out how to actually pwn this game, and wow the play is so exploitable
but of course move up, i just sayin
yeah he thinks he is the shit. i really hate him. funny story about him: i just moved up to 200nl and i was deep at a table with 0evg0 a few other regs, and massimo, and massimo says will you could definitely find a better table, you should leave. evg had position on me too. he berated him for idk how long, but then he brought it up in the official stars reg thread on 2p2. they were confused because ISF posts as redgrape on 2p2, but doesnt play as redgrape on stars or something, so evg goes off about how much of an idiot he thought redgrape was and retold this story. except he described me as a "super fish".Quote:

at 1/2, assuming folded to, i like 8, 8, 7, 6, 8 from utg through sb. if someone limps, reads are a big factor in my isolation sizing.Quote:

About a year ago I played a lot of 200NL short for a strong win-rate over a not-so-big sample size and then moved to full ring and lost a lot of money learning that the full ring nits have a hand way more often and spew off way less.
Inducing bluffs from TAggs and playing back into aggression from time to time works well at 200NL short.
i was jokin cuz it's a really hard and broad topic that you can't just read about and know. thanks for all the info though :DQuote:

play 6 or fewer tables and note any non-ABC hand that reaches showdown. in pokertracker, figure out how these ppl r evaluating poker situations by reviewing their play.
once u build a tight image and figure out who the regs are and how they play, start to open up your game.
dont be afraid to move down if u lose 10bi or so in a week
if you make moving up a really big deal it's gonna turn out badly. Just play the same as you did to get to this point
note:: nutsinho's range is not wide in 3bet pots
If this is stars your not going to get threebet more frequently. 1/2 on stars is so bad.
