Nice start for 50 NL

[Turska]

Ive been playing 25 NL for some time and feel I am
currently rolled for 50NL. Last 10k hands ive been
running 14.5 BB/100.

So I tried 50 NL yesterday with nice lucky result. I played
very carefully about 1 hour and then I got this hand

I wondered about the player who went all-in with QQ. Quite
fishy or is it?

yay!

EDIT: you ran 14/100 at 25NL ay? i'm currently climbing that ladder and keep going up and down constantly w/o 2 good sessions in a row. any tips?

[Turska]

Yes I ran 14.5 BB/ 100. Ive had pokertracker just since april
so I dont know my stats for longer period. But 1.5 months
10 k hands show 14.5 BB/100.

I play pretty tight game and try not to lose stack with TPTK.

I guess thats it for me, im quite careful after turn before that
very aggressive.

Wow quite a dream scenario.. underset who will always go all-in AND a higher pp who doesn't believe you

Welcome to $50NL

All in on that board with a call and re-raise is probably questionable at best. There is no face card or even a 10 for someone to fall in love with, if one guy is chasing/pushing the flush what does the other guy have? Suits you tho!

It took me a while to realise but NL50 is pretty much exactly like NL25 except with a slightly higher % of people buying in short stacked and a few more regular rocks who you pretty much know what cards they have after a few sessions (this is 6-max stars anyway).

At the start I tried to play 'bluffier' and 'more thinking'; but no just standard value bet them to death when you have cards, accept a few suck outs and REALLY think how much you like your hand when the shorties push (which is the smash and grab they are looking to do on big hands when they sit down at the table).
