I've just moved up to 200NL.

The game is pretty much the same as 100NL, just a little bit more aggressive. For example, if you check the river out of position when you've been leading the whole way, you'll almost always gonna face a pot sized bet. Of course this could be exploited. Most players are bad, and if you multitable, you will get away with camping as the bad players will pay you off with marginal holdings.

If you want better BB/100, play 2 tables only and work on reads and playing them. If you want to make money, multitable and wait for sets.


This hand shows how you'll get paid despite the fact that you've been folding the last half hour.
