    25/50's f'in hard!

    Default Well I busted out of 3/6

    It was fun while it lasted, but the players were just too good and I stopped after falling below a 12k bankroll. I will join 'rilla and bmixicle at 2/4 until my BR hits 18k.

    I can say this, the players get WAY better at 600 NL compared to 400 NL, just a fair warning to the rest of you guys.. I'm looking forward to not having people play back at me when I steal the blinds lol

    At least I learned a lot while I was there, and I'm sure I'll learn a lot more next time. Just gotta keep paying the learning tax until I improve..

    What ended up busting me was actually a bad beat - I called someone's all in with KK pre-flop and lost to QQ that hit a Q on the flop, for a loss of 720$

    BR now: $106900

    Goal: $125000 for $25/50 NL live

    Yep, happened to me too. I'm not playing that game again until i have a full 30 buyin bankroll of 18k. Also i might suggest that you try stars 3/6 when you move back up, cause it seems to be a little softer than the party poker sharkfest.

    Well on the bright side, all the sharks left 2/4 for 3/6 and a bunch of fish replaced them, so 2/4 at party has gotten a lot softer recently. At least I wont have a hard time making back the money I lost lol

    yeah 2/4 is still pretty soft, and i've heard that 5/10 is acutally easier than 3/6.

    I'm not worried about tight, conservative players (i.e. fazoolfish, BigFatElvis). They are easy to push around and bluff, and you can always steal the blinds

    Its the well-timed aggression that either bluffs you out or causes you to lose your stack that I'm worried about lol.

    If you want ridiculously easy money, sit down at a $200max (1/2) table on partypoker. Once you get into a groove the money just falls into your lap... Good way to build for higher stakes.

    Ridiculously tight is fine, but its those damn check min-raises that players use every second hand. I've been dabbling in stars 600nl lately again and you don't get that nearly as much there
