Thanks Baluga.

In a way it's goot to know your not alone in this Nl100 transition thing and there are many others.

Matrix
I agree with your post , alot of what you say has occured to me recently so excuse the tl;dr post.

I was rarely 3bet with < QQ at NL50 and have become a much wider 3bettor myself.

I was thinking about what eMC said - I don't think about the money in terms of WOW that pot was £150 I only play what I think is the best move like you say Matrix.

eMC try and think just in terms of chips nominal value -its' probably harder for you yanks seeing dollars -us Brits used to pounds have it slightly easier. However, i think you raise a point that Villans may view the money as OMG I can't call on the flop for 100$ with a nut mega-draw and I may have to adjust to this more regard for the sums of money.

This reminds me of Professional traders that trade 100s contracts at a clip where each contract is say 50k think in terms of risk/reward and have to be willing to trade large when they feel they have the best of it though often risking <2% portfolio.

(There's an article I've got somewhere about MM/traders 'moving up' when their trading limits double and how they cope with it - I'll see if I can find it.)

You will also hear they often refer to their results as
' I'm down 10 ticks this morning' not 'I'm down 50 squillion' so I try to think in terms of buyins in poker too and fractions of the pot and PSB preflop raises at the table.

I believe Chipstorm has knowledge/experience of option markets so he may be better placed to talk about this.
And no i am not sending you a transfer too [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

I too have also become tighter OOP -both UTG+1 which I often play too loose and tighter in the blinds - I rarely call with SCs unless pot is multi-mulitway.

Maybe the 100NL level is more aggro now that Frist has done his thing, a little tougher maybe but I have nothing to base a comaprison on so don't know.

I'll be interested to hear what pre Frist Nl100ers think.
There's more players @ FT for sure, may be theTAG/fish ratio hasn't changed?

I'm improving and learning much faster than I was at 50NL and am way too stubborn to move down.

The games really are not that much different imo

These comments have made me change my mind. I too was improving and learning much faster so am going to play mostly NL100 with some NL50 thrown in and just try and get through this and become a better player.

If I can run at 3ptbb/100 then thats a respectable 6 at NL50 so it may also be more profitable solely in terms of $$$ to stay @ NL100.

reminds me of the time when I struggled to go from NL10 to NL25 LOL [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
