Bankroll = ~$4000
Well, NL100 is going quite well. I'm very pleased with my results lately, and feel like I'm moving up in the poker world at a decent pace.
I noticed that it's quite profitable to simply nit it up at nl100, quite often when I'm check-raising on flushdraw boards, people are reshoving on me with tpgk quite often while i'm holding the nuts (sets, 2p, whatever). I think this is due to the increased aggression, people are starting to get paranoid and think people are making moves on them all the time.
At first I felt I was getting 3bet to death, and loosened up calling more preflop raises with marginal PP's, and shipping it in on non a/k/q boards, but this seemed to be a huge leak. Now I'm simply playing tight and solid pre, and not out-thinking myself too much.
Enough of all that nonsense.
I'd like some advice from some nl200 people as to how many buyins I should have before I attempt to take shots at nl200. I'm pretty sure the 20buyin rule doesn't quite apply to limits above nl100, so I'm thinking 25, 30? Maybe more? I've never logged in a serious nl200 session in my life, and as a result have no idea what to expect once I take that leap.
Anyways, I 1-tabled last night/this morning for about an hour and a half, and made a solid 4 buyins running at roughly 45/35. lol, it's true that if you can actually focus on the game dynamics and whats going on that you can rape the competition big time. I can see myself cutting my tables down a bit on nl200 when I first start there.
Anyways, I'm feeling pretty good about my progress so far, so I think it's time to go and mix myself a drink.
As always, a little pleasure for your ears - skip into 30 seconds, this songs a beauty.
