Uh is this your way of telling me that I suck at poker Red?
Even with the total gayness of that full house vs quads hand, i am running good.
So I was getting frustrated at NL100 because I kept losing with really good hands. set over set, flush over flush, and top set vs. every imaginable beat. So I was getting real passive because I had a bad table image and because I was frustrated. So I was playing bad/break even/losing poker. So I decided to drop down for a bit and remember how to be aggressive. Because even against a bunch of donk slowplayers and calling stations it is really good to be aggressive. So I dropped down to 25nl for a while, and won 100 bucks in 161 hands, playing like 28/21. Then I moved up to 50nl because I was not taking that shit seriously, and I won like 150 today in a thousand hands, playing 20/15.
I guess the level of the play in the three levels wasn't noticeably different. There are maybe 1 or 2 more regs at 100nl than 50nl, but there are still donks everywhere. I think the biggest difference is the comfort of shoving my stack in the middle. I look at $100 and (LOL to the high stakes players if they read this) it seems like a lot of money, subconsciously. This is retarded with a 5k bankroll. But I think it will take me a little while to get comfy at the new stakes.
The most interesting thing I found was that 2 weeks ago I would not have been comfortable playing as aggressively at NL50 as I am now that I have played five thousand hands of NL100. My perception of the money changed that fast. Wonder how I can jump-start that process for NL100? Go play some NL200? That can't be the right plan...If anybody gets to this point, I would love to hear some ideas. Maybe I will cross post this part in BR management.
Anyway, I know tl;dr.
