OK, so I put in my first session at NL 100 last night after passing the 3k BR mark, and proceeded to get raped. Hard. And repeatedly.
I ran terribly, played like ass, and ended up down 4 buy-ins in a little over 1700 hands. Some fun hands:
AK on an A42 flop vs. a complete maniac, obviously he has A2 FTW.
AQ vs. AA on a Q73 flop against another maniac, this guy was a 60/20/4 who thought middle pair was the nuts.
AJ vs. a calling station, who calls a PFR with Q5s, calls pot-sized bets on the flop and turn with a naked flush draw, and of course gets there on the river.
Those were the rough hands, also had a lot of stupid stuff like AK < shorty's 63o (63o!) AIPF for like $15. Lost a ton of medium sized pots like that.
Made one really dumb move, a check-raise bluff on the turn followed by a bluff shove on the river. Looking back, it's pretty frigging obvious that villain had a monster. My hand had some show down value, so I could have easily called the smallish turn bet and check-folded the river, but nope, I decided to turn my hand into a bluff and then shove the river after he called my turn raise.
I also missed out on one huge pot, had JJ in a raised multiway pot, there's a RR to $23 from the blinds (initial raise was to $4.50). I think for a while and fold (was close, probably should have called with odds since another player in between called, and definitely would have if I knew the player behind me would call as well). Obviously, the flop comes J76r and the first cold-caller shoves in his last $45 on the flop.
So yeah, my first day at NL 100 was horrid. Games were also pretty bad at UB, a lot of competent players suprisingly at this limit. 2 players with VPIPs of 35+ was rare, and of course when I got them, they sucked out or coolered me. Tonight it's back to the grind, so hopefully my second night at NL 100 will be beter than the first.
