A style that is good for NLHE50... Is it good for NLHE100?

[Burcak]

Hello.

I am a graduate from the 10c and 25c school, and in my opinion ready to graduate from 50c school as well. I am playing 9-handed and have a decent winrate.

My question is... I read those SSNL forums with lots of bluffs, where people steal the blinds with any two card, double barrel triple barrel, represent flush draws blablabla... all these is nice. But I just can't play successfully like that in NLHE 50 atm. I have a very nit winning style (like 13/7.8/2.2) and play a lot of big pots. I limp behind limpers and mine sets in position against obviously bad players. I do steal blinds with suited hands when it is folded to me in the button, but it almost never is, and there is always limpers.

Whenever I try to play small pots or be looser, I start losing money immediately. I know that I just don't know the small pot poker style, but I am not sure if I am in the right place to learn it either. Every once in a while I read the ssnl forums and someone says "if you don't raise with blabla you are leaving money on the table" and I am like "okay NOW I AM COMING AND CRUSHING THIS TABLE" and I lose major money. Not that I care about money (I am playing poker as a hobby), but I just don't like losing.

Is there some kind of TAG's guide to learning how to loosen up when the conditions are right?

Is it applicable in NLHE50? I have a huuuge bankroll atm, but I am not moving up just because I am not confident in my game. Should I just move to NLHE100 and try "my moves" there? WTF? Help [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
