Default Re: New to 50NL - Getting pushed around

I'd agree with the others that say your flop betting probably looks weak. Maybe not just this hand? 1/2 to 2/3 cbets on Stars are going to get tested and floated more. If you're going to bet or raise make sure you get the intended result.

I think there are definately differences at the lower levels between these sites. At Stars you have a BUNCH of levels before 50NL for beginners to bust out at, grind, and learn. I rarely see the junk plays I hear talked about here.

There are still plenty of fish to go around. But you will bump into more players that will find your leaks, and pounce on weakness.

I bet pot fold to raise. As played fold it and get a read. Mostly because you are OOP and if he decides to take it on the turn or river you have very little to work with.

Good Luck. Been hammered a few times moving up myself. First time I hit 100NL lasted 9 hands [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img] Oops.
