    Default first session of $200NL

    yea, i played bad, and hands + results show it...i feel like the players check/call me down more, and bluff me off marginal hands more...i am down $360 after like 300 hands...this always happens when i move up a stake...even when i was at $10NL and i moved to $25NL i dropped like 6 buyins before turning profit...ok heres some hands.

    1) standard i think, didnt have a read on this guy, but he bought in for like $120...

    2)yea, i probly should have bet flop...but this dude would check/call me down to the river like everyhand...occasionally he will fold on the flop, but he was generally outplaying me it felt.

    i think i just have to get a bit of a feel for the different types of players at the new stake and then ill be right...i lost 6 buyins at $100NL, now im crushing it. so hopefully i can turn this around...im only down 1.75buyins.

    1) just bet or c/c the river. Your hand ain't strong enough for these shenanigans. What wors hand calls this c/r?

    2) fine.

    3) I don't like pf with the limper in there. Fold river.

    4) its a min reraise play. Prolly AA/KK, fold.

    5) standard

    6) This is ok I guess. I fold pf sometimes though.

    7) c/f turn.

    8) coola boola

    Downswinging holla!
    Hand 1) Very standard. If he shows you the nut flush then whatever, there's no getting away from the K high flush here.

    Hand 2) Sometimes I'd bet the river very small for value, like $15 again maybe. Checking is fine too.

    Hand 3) There aren't any draws so he obviously has some kind of made hand if he isn't bluffing with total air, so yeah, fold.

    Hand 4) I'd fold if the guy behind me was solid, his cold call scares me.

    Hand 5) Standard.

    Hand 6) Yeah standard I guess.

    Hand 7) I check this flop a lot, I wouldn't double barrell the turn either really on this board. Easy river fold without a great read, TJ/clubs is somewhat likely, but I have to have a big read to call here.

    Hand 8) Yawn, super standard.
