I really do not think nl100 is much harder than nl50.

agree.

I feel that value betting the river is something that isn't covered enough in uNL. I'd be tempted to say it's where a lot of uNLers lose the most money (but it's hard to quantify this objectively).

That said, will you find some hands that you value bet the river with less than the nutz and got a call by a weaker hand? Also, comment on each street and then give some general comments.

HBomb - ask the software forum, I remember a year ago when I played party I had DollarToBB, which turn everything on the table into Big Blinds, which was a huge help for moving up! I'm not sure if anything similar exists now.

What is the WW50NLD approach? Is there a program out there that will take higher limits and turn the betting sizes into $50 NL betting sizes? [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

What Would 50NL Do?

Just ask yourself how you'd handle the situation if you were playing 50NL instead of 100NL.

[/ QUOTE ]

I think this is excellent advice, its not like you are playing against a different species. Also its well known that 100nl is still full of fish.

Party IMO is no different to any other site for micro limits. Maybe like 200nl+, but for us it doesn't matter. Most people who say otherwise are either losing players or are pissed that they are running bad.

I got neteller baby [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] but btw I have cashed out by check from Holly-crap poker before, what a nightmare it took forever!

I think I'm a lot better than most at playing OOP and handling the very thin situations that arise. I'm good at getting away early if I can see that the hand is headed for trouble.

[/ QUOTE ]
Could you give an example of these situations (a hand history if possible)?

[ QUOTE ]
ama, nice well so far.

What board textures do you like to 2nd (/3rd?) barrel on, and do you need a read fire the 3rd barrel?

[/ QUOTE ]

I will fire on almost any board against the right opponent, but I would favour a co-ordinated board that misses because it is far more likely that your opponent is on a draw. I love to double the turn scare card, a turn ace is like free money.

[ QUOTE ]
How do you deal with check minraises when IP? I seem to end up calling a lot with overcards or marginal holdings, do you think this is a leak?

[/ QUOTE ]

Its nitty but I will often fold here. I assume by default that villain has hit the board for at least top pair and just go with +EV from there.

[ QUOTE ]
I am a bit of a nit when 3betting and tend to call a lot b/c I just like to see a flop, should I open up my 3betting range or leave that untill I move up to SSNL.

[/ QUOTE ]

Its a question of comfort. It sounds like you are not ready to open up yet because opening up leaves you exposed to some seriously dodgy flop/turn spots. Try adding one or two hands to your 3bet range and see how you like it, or every now and then 3bet on the button and see what happens. Remember if you are confused or unsure when you 3bet preflop it is much much better to just fold the flop than to spew off more money because you are lost. People have this I AINT FOLDING mentality, really just fold!! Nobody knows who you are!!

[/ QUOTE ]

I would have a very hard time folding a pair here or even AK high. Just weird to push a flop like that that isn't very drawy. Why is this play better than calling flop versus geld? I obv. don't know the dynamics of your rivalry or anything but it seems not-so-good.

[/ QUOTE ]

Given the board texture and our history, Gel has to put me on minimum a Queen, or a sneaky overpair, or a set. That I would be doing this as a bluff is almost unthinkable. I cant be pushing a draw because there arent any, my hand looks very very strong, and it looks like I want to get it in. Also, I know that he will fold a LOT of his range because he's so aggressive.

Awesome link. This thread is awesome aswell [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

You are very educational in the way you talk about the game, thanks for doing this man.

cheers /LB

Edit: I have been busy reading the thread so haven't come up with any questions worth your time yet. I'll just ask you this then:

Which poker books have you read and which did you find to be the most helpfull for you 1) as a poker player in general and 2) As a NL cash player.

Should i iron my shirt today, or tommorow for a 1pm wedding tommorow?
Shall i use a new iron, or an old used one.
Shall i iron the back first, or start at the front?


Thats all.

[/ QUOTE ]

Definitely iron early then hang the shirt up so it can take its natural shape. I generally just iron one side because Im lazy, if its a wedding go 2 sides. Flip a coin for front or back first. Defintely use a new iron, you want to iron in style baby!
