Don't worry, I'm heading fast into nl200 waters. Once there, you will still see me at nl100, but only at the really good tables (with at least 2 suckers).

Am I the only one with no ambition to move up?

Nope...I'm with ya. I play some 200NL, but only when I see some uber-droolers at the table.

You are one of the very few. Is there a reasoned argument you can provide to actually dissuade those that want to play for a living from moving up? Just wondering, maybe some good discussion can come from it.

OOOOO, I can!

At least for me, I know I'm not good enough to win at 400 or higher, so unless I magically turn into a kick ass player in the next few years, I'm not moving up because I don't want to get my ass handed to me. That being said, I know I can kill 100 and grind out a decent, unspectacular winrate at 200, so I'm okay with staying in my little rut because it's enough to live on (not as a rich baller, but I don't really care about that).

[boston]

2x that i moved up to 200 i ran into all set under sets, KK&lt;QQ, AA&lt;KK donked some money off..... so i came back to 100 to make the money back, then usually stick around cause making the money is so easy there

ill be jumping back in soon though [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

I was wondering who the hell you were since i've had you plastered to my tables all day so far [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

I know I 3 bet you a few times already, which is part of the reason I didn't do it here. Also, I've been trying to 3-bet less with AK out of the blinds.

I actually had it raised up to 13 and almost clicked raise until I noticed who raised and my position.


And yes, the donation helps... 5002 hands +119 bucks... haha

Did you really think you had any FE here? Seems like a pretty standard call of the $24 to me.
