Curious, I'm looking to move a little beyond just being a LHE "specialist" (not that I'm spectacular to begin with but). It's basically been about the only game I've focused on for a few years. I'm looking to get into some big bet poker games a little more, I've played a bit of PLO and started out great, but kind of hit the wall, not sure if I ran hot and hit a bad stretch, was playing good and hit a bad stretch, I might just suck at the game period, etc. I still think it can be a more profitable game than NL, I just can't seem to figure out how ATM.

So this got me thinking about playing some NL, anyone here recently make the switch, or playing a lot more NL than LHE? I'm planning on playing 6 max as that's what dosen't seem to be as much of a nut peddling arena and SH LHE is what I've played almsot exclusively for the last year+.

So anyone have any comments about the transition, good, bad, etc. I remember Phyto made the switch and couldn't believe he mentioned he didn't know why he waited so long. So anyone have comments on pros/cons, successes, disapointments, trip reports, etc.

I have 126 hands from lunch:

VPIP- 20.63
PFR- 12.7
AF- 3.4
Won$SD- 71.43%
BB/100 99.60

Sustainable?

I dabbled with NL for a few months when it was looking like limit was drying up. Beat 50NL for 5ptbb/100 for 5k hands or so and 100nl for slightly less over 2k hands. But i found it insufferably boring, so i quit. How to learn? I guess i was mostly learning on the job. Reading the NL section here helps. 2p2 requires more sifting, but thats useful too. The books are pretty unhelpful (imo). A lot of the hand reading stuff from limit carries over so its a lot easier than starting from scratch. You gotta unlearn some of the stationing habits from SHLHE real quick though. Those will bury you.

That's part of the problem I find with NL.... It's freaking boring, (well that a a few bad suckouts for a stack really pisses me off). I mean it sounds odd to say about what should be an exciting game, but it's not really. I think that's part of why I got into some PLO... I think when it comes to cards I'm an action junkie, but don't like variance . Kind of a contradicition in terms I guess....
