From Schneids: all you tags please leave my tables alone now and move over to NL

My question is, am I wasting my time trying to master LHE. Is it a dead end for building a good roll and moving up in stakes? Should I just focus my energy on NL which I am better at right now?

If your primary poker goals are to make money and move up in stakes, I think your time is best spent in NL. If you put the me of three years ago in today's smallish stakes LHE games, I don't know if I'd have gotten to be able to build a large BR in LHE or not. I'm not ready to call it a dead end, but, NL is by all means the easier game to get wealthy in today.

July results are in. My best month ever by far.

The lesson: move up and run sick hot

[Tryptamean]

Also why is every guy with TAG stats that I play against a [censored] spaztard idiot that puts in 26 bets with the worst hand and gets there every time and takes KQ UI to showdown 80% of the time. I 3 bet their sb opens from the BB 2 hands in a row and they still open with like T5o but it doesnt matter because they outflop me anyway. One guy check raised 3 players on a KQxT board with A4 to make me lose the max when my QJ missed like it always does. I dont think any player pisses me off as much as the bad TAG.
