How about a nice summary of your experiences moving from Limit to NL? There are some interesting discussions that pop up in the new Limit --> NL forum, and if you post a summary then we could get some good commentary and questions. I can beat the limit games online up through 15/30 (30/60 when I'm really feeling my Wheaties) and 100/200 live but can barely eek out a living at the Stars $200 NL after over 60k hands.

in 2005 and 2006 I actually played a lot of both. I was playing 100-200 LHE and wasnt always able to get that many games so I was also part of the generation of players that 8-12 tabled the party 10/20 games. MY screename there I think was miamia and I was able to log maybe 250k hands in that game. My first 100k hands I won 6ptbb/100, next 100k I won 1ptbb/100 and last 50k i don't remember really around 3 i guess.

If you are beating LHE at 15/30 I would *think* that you have the poker skills/thought process to beat 200NL, but there are a few different skills needed. Tilt control probably a bit more important in NL, as its both more tempting to get tilted and probably more costly on average when you do. It's possible variance has turned the wrong cheek to you as well (see my winrates above for party), but I would suggest grinding on your game and continueing to give both a shot until one or the other really becomes the clear choice.

as far as learning a new game, I simply grind on the math/pokertracker/hands and probably spend more time than most from that vantage point (though not near the type of grind leatherass has).

if i didnt really hit on what you were looking for let me know.
