Thanks for the kind words guys!!

Towards the end of last month I slacked a bit, cuz i didnt want to ruin the good results.. Really fishy mindset, i know.. Instead I should have gone into sicko grinding mode and aim for 10k! Who knows when am I gonna get that close again :f_frown:

Well, hopefully this month haha..
I planned on taking the nl200 shots after I am 1k up for the month..

Well.. who can say no to 1k days, right :f_biggrin:

No, I dont think he ever bluffs vs my CO cold4b vs MP 3b UTG open, so I dont think there is any reason not to ship it in..
Just in case someone wanted to ruin the good vibes :f_biggrin:

Hahaha, awesome video! :f_biggrin:

hey, Xavier, glad to see you back! real world jobs are shitty, right

The shot went ok yesterday.. played 1.6k hands, up 2.5bi, so I can hang around for a bit longer.. yippyyy

I expected the field to be tougher... I mean.. its way tougher than nl100, but still, I mark most of regs as regfish given they have some obvius leaks..
Marked only 4 poeple as buletproof good regs who give me no reason at all to mess with them so far.. On nl100 there were 0 poeple like that =)

If bitchy variance doesnt strike in, I believe I should be able to be profitable in these games longterm.. Lets see :f_grin:

Hey Thomas,

Actually no. I found a job I really love alot. Of course not everything is perfect so I prefer to work at my own timing. I'm get the satisfaction I long looked for in poker.

The only time I remember you playing poker was at bkk heads up with twicet telling you to make some moves and you was OMG yes I won!

Yoyoo!!

well, I suppose I should update you on the nl200 adventure..
I might have been to quick with the judgement.. Eventhough most of the regs are exploitable in some way, I started to learn that the LONGTERM is really important factor up there. Poeple do make mistakes, but really tiny ones compared to nl100 and below..

The jump between 100 and 200 is the biggest one really. 25 to 50 is pretty much same as 50 to 100.. so 25 to 100 is quite similar..

I started to ran pretty awefully, but I probably ran pretty good at the beggining, so I suppose being b/e is somewhat of a fair result

Anyways, I feel it is incredibely challenging to be playing at 200, and I started to not feel really comfortably after the 12 bi downer, so eventhough up, I still moved down to play some more 100..

I mean, the goal is to make moniez.. So I will give 200 another go after I am 4k up for the month, so even if I blow 5 bi shot, I still have decent month. hehe..

But yea, nl100 is peanuts compared to nl200, I hope next time i will be able to feel good longer.. After all, last month I started to play 100 after couple days, then went back to nl50 after 20k hands of b/e and with the next shot i crushed nl100 pretty hard, so i hope and believe that history will repeat itself.. :f_biggrin:

GNITE!

hello.

I've played a lot of nl50/100 in the past and i can assure you I've seen players there that would do well at 200 and certainly I've seen terrible regs at 200 and even 400/600. The biggest difference between 50/100 and 200 is the rake to be honest, the rake is simply huge at 100 and so if you're a decent winning reg there then you probably should succeed easily at 200 as well, difference in skill cannot affect winrate in such a way that you become somehow breakeven or loser if you had like +5 or 6bb

good luck

Hmm, I dont know man.. There is not a single reg that I have marked as "badass motherfucker, leave him alone", while on 200 I have at least 10 of those..

Obv my sample on 200 is very tiny and my respect for the limit might add bit to the formula as well, but I really think av 200 reg makes slightly less mistakes than av 100 reg.

Anyways, I hope and belive I should be technical-wise I should be able to play nl200 with positive WR and I intend to keep on attacking it, but at the same time I feel like the money start to be a factor for me, so will mix 100 in to keep on building BR so I can feel more and more comfortable with losing 3bis on 200 :))

Ty for the insight though, appreaciate it.. Next time I play 200 I ll remember your words and will treat if without respect, like its nl100 :f_grin:

Hey,

as I see, our journeys are quite different. You want to own NL200, I want to get to from NL2 to at least NL50 in a reasonable amount of time.

I am just wondering, do you think I can get to NL25 or NL50 by playing straight forward?

And what is the biggest leak of the playerpool there. Are they very experienced, in puncto 3bet/4bet. Do they know what they're doing, or will they exploit themselves if I just play it decently?

Btw, do you live in China? Because I am in Hong Kong right now, living with my girlfriend, and trying to stay here :O

hey there!

I guess playing ABC can be profitably even at higher limits than nl50 if you table select properly and avoid competing with the regs.

Its tought to generalize, everyone has some sort of leak.. I guess what most ppl have in common is folding too much to 3bets and not defending enough on BB vs steals.

And no, I dont live in China, I live in Czech Republic :) I like China and I like HongKong and Macau as well, but havent been to Asia since 2011 :f_frown:

Best of luck living in HK! I envy you the trips to Macau!;)
