**Official uNL Microbrew thread: August**

Well I asked the why is that question, cos somehow it feels like very few seem to be asking it.


My guess is that the average uNL sucks at adapting. You grown up in the micro's with retards that

1. Pay off with garbage and
2. Suck at charging you when they have a hand

Those player never cease to exist at any level, but they decrease severely in numbers.


So suddenly you actually have to play poker. There are two things that have to happen.

1. You have to adjust to new ranges, a bet is no longer the nuts but contains a greater amount of air, so suddenly the number of hands that you are willing to see a showdown with is greater (tho, some hands want to fire all barrels while others are marginal, so while they are SD bound, they dance and potcontrol and similar stuff)

2. Since people suddenly aren't really paying off with garbage, you might have to change your game fundamentally.
Unfortunaly I have read PNL (should receive it tomorrow), but there has been a lot of talk about planning around commitment, which is all good. But when you are at a nitty table, planning around commitment (or in regular english, expecting to get paid off) goes out the window, and you might just have to plan around stealing.


(and then comes

3. If you start planning around stealing, the increased heat you put on villians might just force them to open their ranges, which in turn suddenly allows you to return to planing around commitment

All the while

4. You of course keep track of who is who and play with different ranges against each villian at the table)



But if you are used to nine tabling 50NL, the above might not come naturally [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
