gratz for hitting 50 nl or at least taking a stab.
Yeah all good players from 25nl are found at those tables. I took a small stab where I was ready to lose 1 buyin. The players kept 3 betting me on flops or preflop. Sometimes check calling my CBs. After some time i started firing 2nd barrels and reraised their flop reraise. They never folded and I lost my stack because I had to fold to their value bets on the river. It seems like they really had hands there. I quit 50nl that day with having seen one allin where i was ahead and villain didnt improve..... still i lost all again without having seen one big showdown and stil havingl lost a buyin. Maybe 100nl is softer? if you actually look at bonuswhores 100nl is rated softer than 25nl. Still their number of active tables (0.04) seems a bit wrong and 25nl is rated C.... which makes me laugh

i know that a friend of mine is playing NL100 entering it with $50 and he is doing rather well.. I was looking at those tables and I noticed quite a few NL25 players that I know there.. bad ones.. and I also noticed that there are like zillion shortstackers at NL100 ...
I am still struggling at NL50... got my KK cracked twice, and got set over setted twice - today.. and I lose only $25.. so when this swing passes, it will probably be easier..

just a quick update... today it feels like i have adapted to NL50.. i guess that I am not as aggro as at NL25 and had the luck to read a couple of bluffs that got me a couple of stacks .

my current roll is at $1440 which is pretty decent since I completely started playing NL50 instead of NL25 .. I also lost $50 on NL100 cause my friend made me play there since he claims that there are bigger donks there then at NL50 .. which is quite possibly true, but I got AK stumble into AJ to lost $80 (initial $50 + grind) so I left the table and returned to NL50..

i didn't go to Rijeka today for this promotional tourney, although I think I should have cause the competition is pretty weak (except for the final table lineups which are all regs) and it was another chance to play some NL tourney... meh.. I'll get there.. last time I went to Varazdin I basically lost more time on live tourney then I could have made at home playing.. so, maybe it's all for the better...

nice work. $1440?? Wooohoooo!!!

i just lost 3 buy ins in like 15 minutes..
[Js] limped.. flop is nut flush draw for me .. something like [5s][9h].. guy bets I raise pot, he calls.. turn is he bets i call .. river brick .. he checks, I bet 1/2 pot, he raises and I call.. he has [5c]..
other hand was me having [Ah] and raising PF and guy just pushes and I insta call and he has [8h] and gets an on the river..
third hand was me with [Js] again.. flop is [7h][5d].. I raised PF.. he called from the SB.. I bet pot on flop.. he calls.. turn is and he C/R mini and I push (tilt factor I guess) . he calls and has [7s].. river is an just to make my day...

so.. my roll is at $1298

today, i managed to lose twice with AA and twice with KK .. all 4 of the times they setted against me and with AA, I was AI PF every time... with KK, I got setted on the river.. honestly.. that kind of day I guess.. still it's only like 3 buyins down for the day which is not horrible but I don't like it... hopefully, tomorrow won't be miracle day for villains and their stupid holdings....

hahaaaaaaaaaa..

i am moving down to NL25 again... i lost few more buy ins in 100 or so hands.. my deepstacked KK got cracked by 88 again and I lost it.. i will now try and grind it out at NL25 until I get to $1400 or $1500 (if that's even possible now for me) and then I'll get back to NL50...

I could continue playing NL50 right now, but I don't think I have the nerves for it now.. so, I'll go to NL25 and play there...

doodz... i just checked my cashier and it seems like I haven't lost those few buy-ins that I just wrote about... weird.. and suppa duppa freaky yaheeeeayy -- i guess I am lucky with these things (see AG section - Paradise poker double withdrawal) and now this.. I mean.. I had $1300 and lost a pot of $98 with KK vs. 88 .. and now I look, and have $1300.. NICE! let's hope it stays that way...

LOOOL.. just got my AA cracked again..

i am in SB with AA.. all fold.. I raise to $3, BB folds, UTG calls..
flop [6s][Qh].. I bet $6.50 .. UTG calls...
turn .. i put him in for $15.50 and he calls
river ...
guy shows [3d] and takes the pot down..

I haven't won with AA or KK once in last 2 days... i had them about 5-6 times all together i think...sklansky bucks here i come..

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL... I AM NOT!
