moving to 400NL
I know these posts arent popular, but im gonna try anyway.
I've been playing poker for about 2 yrs (1yr seriously). Moved up gradually from 25nl to 200nl with reasonably conservative BR-management. I normally 6-8 table 200nl and ussually consider myself on of the better players at the table. My BR is about 15K now and I have taken shots with variable succes, think im about +1 BI over 1.5k hands, which doesnt really say anything.. I personally think there's a HUGE difference between 1/2 and 2/4, especially PF, which I personally find hard to adjust to. I find that the 1/2 players have really small PFRR ranges and limp call OOP way too often, so they're very exploitable. I also think there's alot more floating, playing back etc, especially IP. I also think im a bit too tight (19/12/4.5), to really make good money at 2/4. Almost all the regs are 24/16ish, so Im probably going to have to open up my game a bit (advice on that?) anyway, if you have any advice on adjusting to 400NL I would really appreciate it. btw: would you consider 15K roll big enough to MT 400nl? thx, <--IWS |

Re: moving to 400NL
play how you play, open your game up first at 1/2 and see if it works if you're trying to loosen up.
15k is fine |

Whether you play 19/12 or 24/16 has minimal effect on your winrate. Being aware of how you are perceived and reading hands well will have a huge effect on your winrate.
I personally find it easier to read people's hands if they perceive me as being pretty tight. |

Re: moving to 400NL
15k is good.
when taking shots i find it easier to play a few tables at my normal stakes and a couple more at the next level at first. as i begin to feel more comfortable ill start 4 tabling for a day or say then start 8 tabling soon after i get a feel for the stakes |

Re: moving to 400NL
I think if you change it up to 19/15, you'll be fine.
but there ARE people with 12 prfr and get away with it. (and beat the game for a nice amt) |

IME, I have more equity in calling down, then RR, especially against people who I think I can read enough postflop, but maybe this is only true for 200nl. What about the RR range from SB/BB to BTN raise? thx |

Re: moving to 400NL
you definitely want to start out with fewer tables when you're moving up. if you feel like you're getting run over or getting outplayed it can be very overwhelming if you're on a ton of tables. it's much easier to look at each hand after it's over and analyze it and get a better feel for the table/players if you're only on 3 or 4 tables instead of 8.
