Default PL vs NL on Pokerstars

Seems like the action is much juicier...overly juicy for the difference in the two games.

Anyone think the same, or disagree with me?

Also, my game doesn't change much when playing PL...is that a bad thing? How does your game change when playing PL?

I almost always check the PL tables first when I log on. They generally seem to be juicier most of the time. My winrate is almost double also on the PL tables. And since I suck, I need all the help I can get!

It seems like pot bets are called more by people at PL games as if that amount has less of a fear factor in PL games, and as if opponents think their draws have a better chance of hitting. Good for us I suppose.

I'm down like 2 buyins over like 350 hands at PL. In my super-small sample size, it appears there are generally more players to each flop and more calling stations in general. Most of my losses have been on called cbets where I missed the flop. Or I 3bet pf with QQ and the flop comes AKx etc.

I do like how 40%+ VPIP PL tables have open seats for a while - I'd rather play on these tables than a 25% VPIP NL one.

Only adjustment I make when playing PL is to weigh position even more in PL than in NL. It's a small adjustment for me since I'm a position nit in NL anyways- 3x VP$IP from button compared to UTG. If the table is aggro, the limp-reraise from EP is more important since your opening raise will be weaker than in NL and you WILL get more callers than in NL.

I only play PL occasionally. Seems to be popular with the Euros.
