**Official uNL Microbrew thread: January (nc)**

[TKWest]

When I first started playing poker online (Sept 2005) I played a bunch of .25/.5 Limit at UB. I played there until April 2006 and then started NL and havent played much Limit since.

There was a bunch of "regulars" that played at that time and in my PT database I have 100's of hands and some notes for a lot of them.

Anyway I was bored last night and played a little .25/.5 Limit for old times sake.

And they were still all there!!! None have moved up or on to NL. Still playing their tight style at full ring limit - barely beating the rake most likely. What a grind. Cant believe they havent moved on - their tight style might win way more at NL than they are making now.

WOW sng's are so horrible, why does anyone play these things? God this is sick

Just ended second on a $10 sng, so yeah 20 bucks woohoo, and won some money at 100nl. I can't complain today was ok after all, not great but ok.

I doubt that will happen. I used to play sngs, might aswell get a bot to do it for you.

I was kinda bored so I figured I'd just start a couple up. Soooo sick how they play once you get to the pushbot stage, like im getting people cracking KK with 82o and stuff. I think its a good learning tool in that it teaches you that being a 4:1 favourite isnt really that much of an edge and you are gonna lose a bunch of those kind of flips.

But yeah even though it feels good to take them down, I'm sticking to cash for real...

[ama0330]

Seriously its just so amazing its like it cant even be real how sick these things are!!! I'm fast learning that this is just standard:

He was the kind of guy to do this against even if he folds. Think repeatedly check-raising the flop with mid-pair and then betting out on the turn and other moves like that. There's times when you have to draw a line in the sand, WHICH YOU DO NOT CROSS!

[Unknown Soldier]

don't play $3 sngs, rake's far too hight (I am right in thinking that it's 2.4+0.6 right?)

It would have been unlucky for him if his aces got cracked. Think about it like that. (Despite the fact that he played them terribly)
