I might make 6max 50NL my home again

[SmackinYaUp]

I can't adjust to this shit. Calling stations are poison to me. This isnt just one table, they are all like that. I went back to 50NL the other day and absolutely crushed them like the good old days. Not only is the money smaller and easier to throw around, but the people are tightasses which is what I prey on.

Have you ever played on stars? I'm thinking of moving from 50NL to 100NL, but I need someone to tell me the difference in play.

[Muxy]

I have heard ring at party is way easier than stars

[alias2211]

Smackin-

If you multitable, just trying mixing in one $100NL table in with 2-3 other $50NL tables to get a feel for the higher level. When I hit $1.5k I tried $100NL at three tables and caught a bad swing right away for a sizable setback. So I switched back to $50NL on all three until I was back up to $2k. Then I started playing one $100NL table and two $50NL. By the time I made it up to $3k using this method, I was playing three $100NL tables at the same time. Now I'm around $4k and I have been dabbling in $200NL occasionally, but I'm still relying on my $100NL play to keep me going.

[twosevoff]

Sounds like you're complaining that NL100 is too fishy. Just camp out more, value bet the fish and calling stations to death, and only use smart aggression against players who you know are good enough that it will work against them. Then again, if you can't adapt your style, maybe the tighter NL50 tables are where you belong.

[SmackinYaUp]

Maybe I'm just too fishy to adapt. Nah, fuck them, I'm going camping.

[spino1i]

Maybe I'm just too fishy to adapt. Nah, fuck them, I'm going camping.

Just dont bluff against the players at 100 that are paying you off. Camp on their sorry butts. Make them pay.. Youll be pleased to know that 200 NL 6-max on Party is a bit more tight and conservative.

[spino1i]

Yeh i been playing a lot of 200 NL 6-max on Party, and you are going to love it Smackin.. players almost never bluff or when the do its obvious. They are very weak/passive with a few exceptions here and there. There are conservative as well, so you can bully them around all day long.

All in all very manipulatable and very fishy. Easy money!

[SmackinYaUp]

So far the absolute poker 100NL 6max has been lookin a lot like that but Ive only been there about 30 minutes. Hopefully these first few minutes of play represent the rest of the action.

Cant wait to be up at the 200NL party games though...I want some of that.


Thats a shitty downsing man, ive lost a grand over the last few weeks myself which constitutes a third of my bankroll. I'm still good for the 100's, but just barely. Here's to a comeback for the both of us.

[dalecooper]

50 NL is easy to beat with aggression. 100 NL requires a lot more switching gears, and at times more passive play. My first hand this morning:

Wow, not only did he play a retarded starting hand (sorry, no offense to any retards out there) but when he lucked out and hit a real hand, he played it like a scared little peeboy. I guess if J7s represents his preflop skills, then you can't expect much postflop.
