Official JUNE uNL **'`MICROBREW THREAD`'** LC/NC this way...

[Tickner]

I'm pretty sure that people having trouble moving from $50nl to $100nl just have to learn to deal with the swings properly. Every time you move up, the swings become more than double the previous level due to better players on average and double the stakes.

If you are consistently beating $50nl, you shouldn't have too much trouble at $100nl.

Ask me whatever questions you want about $100nl and the transition from $50nl. I've been there too.

Some encouragement:

$100nl since April 1st...

tick,

how many tables did you start with and what was your br when you started? also, how many hands did you play below 50nl and what was your winrate? this doesnt include your 600nl madness either [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Starting BR was in Janurary last year - $500. Thats all I had to my name and I was in debt over $2k in credit cards. My blog chroicles the whole journey and can be found in my profile.

I started off 4 tabling when I got serious, and slowly built up 1 table at a time - I usually play 9-12 tables now, of 6max nl 100 or 200.

Below $50nl, not much. I started NL june 1st last year with $1k and had a $15k BR by mid july. Then lost almost all of it at $600nl+. Then started over. Etc etc. But overall prob like 45-50k hands and ill guestimate my winrate was aroudn 4ptbb/100.

in that graph, i see a couple 7-8bi swings at the beginning. is this variance, loose play, too willing to play for stacks, something else?

[Tickner]

at the start of that graph I am playing a 32/27/4 style. towards the very end I am playing about 19/16. Notice a better winrate with a lot less variance?

[ama0330]

i do indeed. thats what i was wondering. i play similar stats and produce similar graphs.

[Tickner]

through lonnnnnggggggggg experience Ive determined that very tight and agressive play = teh nuts. Now if only I listened to that when I first started...

[danny8]

not really worth a thread... but i've decided im crap at playing small pots.

dont know anything about sb - should i just fold the turn? call the river? i'd prolly call with AT, but as it stands i dont really beat any Ts... should i just call down since its BvB? and 3pair surely cant lose!!
