This limit is one of the most fishiest, full of fuckin retards that overcall with complete garbage such as A4o, K7o, just complete random trash.
Then you have the fuckin idiots who call off 10% of their stack with AQo, and regs who call with crap like 65o.
I honestly don't know how these guys survive in 100NL.

Most people here basically nut peddle and don't get their stack in without a set, flush, or straight.
I find that it's harder to isolate players here because there's much more squeezing, and idiots love to peel flops with just two overcards.
And not many people respect c-bets here much either.

Also, everytime I go on a decent run and I'm starting to get back on track, I start getting sucked out and run card dead. Over, and over.
I suppose it's all standard, but man it's just stressful.
I may move back down to 50NL if it doesn't get any better.

Hmm also, in 50NL I used to isolate a ton of limpers and stack donks with hands that can make good top pairs, but last night I ran into people who flatted AA/KK and ended up stacking myself instead.

I suppose I just have to try my best to adjust to everything.

I was doing pretty well, thought this could finally be my big break to stay at 100NL, but it's like deja vu from June all over again.
I'm not going to stack off with AKo all in preflop anymore in late position wars, because I run into pocket pairs too often and lose.

Isn't a lot of that stuff contradictory? How can there be only nutpeddlers while people are overcalling trash and floating with overcards? It seems like if you could identify which players are which kind of idiot you should be able to crush the game, no?

I don't mean to condescend or anything (I play NL100 too) and I'm sure you're just blowing off steam, but attitude means a lot.

I suppose I have bad wording.
I just find that there's tons more idiots at this level compared to 50NL.
Some of the stuff people call with here are ridiculous, and the suckouts are horrible.
I find it tough to get a good run here.

And everytime someone preflop min 3bets, it's always AA/KK.

i respectfully disagree with you
50NL is much softer than 100 NL
I do agree in the fact that there are retards but they much more frequent 50 NL.

IDK what you're doing wrong which may be nothing and variance is just raping you.
Just stick it out.

and i'm pretty sure all of this is in your head, the nl100 regs are very weak/tight by definition. you just dont know who the regs are yet.

hmm sorry to hear ur second shot hasnt gone too well but its good that ur at least moving up and having a slug

the single biggest change in my game happened when i spent a good day or two fully reconfiguring my hud, so if you get a bit discouraged and need a break i recommend having a play with it, but i dont know much about the holdem manager hud

full ring
