Recently I've been getting a little too out of line and lost a lot of my basics from trying to think too hard, too many levels into certain hands. Some of you guys might have seen the funky AJ hand I posted in the mid stakes forums asking whether I should call with AJ high on the river. NOT GOOD! So to fix this, I've decided to implement a new rule into my sessions: I will have to play an hour of 8-table NL200 for each and every big mistake I make at NL400 or NL600. This past week I've played a total of 7 hours of NL200, and let me be the first to inform you guys who still play NL200 or lower... The jump between NL200 & NL400 is HUGE. I cannot believe some of the stuff that goes on at NL200, and some of the fish that play those games. It's absolute amazing. Hands like this: http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/370047 NEVER happens at NL400 no matter how bad the fish are. Plus, every regular at NL200 plays the same 19/16/3 ABC Tight-Aggro game which is horribly transparent and very easy to exploit. No doubt, these players probably destroy NL200 for a good sum of money, but they are in for a very rude awakening when they move up.

In other news, I'm getting much better at surfing. My friend has a water camera so I'll try and get pictures the next time I'm out there. Oh yea... and my little sister is having a baby on Saturday so I'm going to be Uncle Jonny soon! Yes, I know my little sister is only 20, and yes I find it really weird, but at the same time it going to be exciting to see the new addition to the fam. :D

I'm not exactly qualified to say anything poker-wise.

But congrats on uncle status!

don't be scared of 400nl i dunno wtf cosmo is talking about

srs i mean, i guess it's true that there's a big difference between nl200 and nl400, but jesus nl400 is extremely soft, def nothing to be afraid of

i mean, you see how much i berate cosmo all the time (and i am pretty much 100% genuine about it), but i def think cosmo is still one of the best players in nl400 6max on stars

Yea there really isnt much of a difference between NL400 & NL600... usually the same regs flip flop those levels
