Bickel,

First off, this blog sounds like my blog haha. You’re typing just as angrily as I used to.
Anyway, as I’ve told you many times before, you gotta stop nitting it up. You gotta start calling those pfrr’s with those KQss’s vs really aggro players in position preflop. You really gotta play position. You also have to start 4betting those who 3bet preflop often. Remember to polarize your 4betting range, to where you know if you’re calling a 5bet shove or going to fold before the player even makes his move. Email me if you need some more help-I’m willing to help your donk ass beat the NL$100 games.

Have a buddie who tried the 100NL after grinding the 50NL and winning like EB was. He got crushed in the 100NL. He tried the 1 2 game instead and is having some good luck there. I wonder if you get more casnio donks playing online going to the 1 2 game because thats what they play in the casino. Where 100NL is a lot of former 50NL regs, thus its tougher to beat then 1 2.

Seems strange but maybe there are more fish at 1 2 then .50 1.

hey eric!! I’m gonna have to be honest with you, i’m too scared to move past NL50 on stars so right now i’m playing on fulltilt playing 1-2limit, moved up starting at .25/.50 the past few month. Been playing 10NL on stars 6max tables.

I don’t know, i’m sorta like you playing 50NL full ring 12-16 tables. I’m beating after a ton of hands. But the moment i take a shot at 100NL, i get my ass handed to me, people calling stacks off with 88,etc. Lose 4-5 buy ins and i’m back grinding 50NL.

I’ve taken some time off from 50NL full ring and concentrating on other games to build my roll.

Weren’t you getting some one-on-one training couple months back? What happened to that?

Maybe it has something to do with the crackdown on U.S. deposits to FTP (eCheck). Some of the guppys may have fled, leaving more sharks in a smaller pond.

Even the pros talk about hitting a brick wall. If you’re intent on sticking to NL and not SNG or MTT, then you just need to ride out the storm. You even pointed out that your months have been more plus than minus.

You’ll throw some bad beat one-outers and get pushed on a made hand soon enough and then be posting how poker’s the best game in the world.

Maybe try just playing 100NL when the games are really good such as happy hour or peak times. At other times just grind 50NL where you know you’re a winner. Might be a good thing on the short-term.

Move down to nl10 and see how you do there and work your way up, if that’s even possible any more. The rake is really high at the lower limits and the play is not all that much worse than the high stakes games, it’s very hard to win.

You have to remember that it’s very easy to play good poker and most of the people are competent so if you have any sort of edge your volume has to be massive for it to shine through.
