Hmm. Well at least as long as I don't stay at NL100 forever. [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img] But the plan is to crush midstakes by next summer and go from there.

My only advice is to not be scared of moving up. NL200 is not any different from NL100, except you double your hourly rate.

I was playing breakeven NL25 3 months ago, now I'm winning 5ptbb/100 at NL200. And I'm planning on taking shots at NL400 before the end of the month.

After playing ~70k hands at NL200 I'm inclined to disagree. There are more regs and as with all levels, the players are generally a bit better. I moved up to NL200 in may and before I hit a big downswing I had a winrate of 2-3 ptbb whereas I've always had a winrate of 4-5 at NL100. Current lifetime winrate is probably 0 ptbb. There was a lot of tilt though. The difference isn't huge but it's still there.

Good for you, hopefully you continue to run well. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

I've been trying to loosen up about the stakes I play. The bulk of my hands are at NL100 for the moment but I also play some NL50 and NL200. I think it's good to be able to move up and down where necessary.

And... major downswings will happen to everyone sooner or later. Be prepared and adjust accordingly. I had too big of an ego to move down the stakes in august when I started losing and it resulted in me spewing chips to what I considered fullblown idiots at NL100 and NL50 until I hit rock bottom and realized I had to do something differently.

Luckily things are turning around now.

Ikestoys had a rough time at 5/10 recently and is now grinding NL200 for a while, which I really admire. It it also the best way IMO to deal with losing, downswinging. When you're running/playing good, play as high as you dare or your bankroll allows, but when things aren't going your way, don't hesitate to move down one or two levels until you feel confident in your game again. You'll only get angry at yourself for the unneccessary spewing.

People keep saying that this is brag. Is that winrate really good? what does your average 2+2 100nl run at?

Lower than yours [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]. Although my MT ratio is higher. I was generally wondering, not saying that 5 isnt good.

I just remember reading bout people talking about 7-8bb/100. Really don't know what is realistic for a solid player?

People with 7-8 ptbb/100 should move up, fast. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

EDIT: And they usually do.

This has been discussed to death. But the answer I believe is that the average 2p2er has a negative winrate.

Is that a fact? Are we counting the lurkers or only the active members?
