So far, $200NL sucks hot sweaty donkey balls. After 500 hands, I'm up $11.25, and that's only after making some positively HEROIC plays. I did have a couple call-down-the-maniac-and-get-sucked-out-at-the-river moments, though, so I'm hoping it's just variance.

One thing I seem to notice: the players are quite different between $100NL and $200NL.

- I'm getting paid off with monsters less often
- I'm getting free cards less often
- I'm getting floated more often
- I'm able to successfully limp into pots less often
- My blinds are attacked more often

I'm really hoping I just stumbled into a couple unpleasant tables, and that this is not the norm. Is this the way $200NL always goes??

[Jamougha]

Pokey,

there's a fairly significant difference between 200NL and 100NL at FT. As you say, they are more aggressive and they are harder to stack. There are more regulars who are semi-decent and sometimes pros. Stick with it, it's still a beatable game

And what are you doing limping into pots anyway? [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
