So, today after a successfull session on NL200, I decided to finally make my first try on NL400. Although I wanted to start NL400 with a little bigger BR, I decided that I already have what I consider the required minimum for me.

The session didnt start off very good. I was slightly up in the very begining but then I lost an expensive race (AQ vs 44 allin pf) and kept being colddecked for a while, which resulted in me being about $500 down. But then I started getting some hands and since I had a pretty aggressive image (I was playing little looser than usually, like 22/18 overall, but like 26/22 in the beginning), I got paid off of many of my good hands, often times with pretty crappy hands by my fishy opponents. So I finished more than 2.5 buyins up, which is uber nice for such a short session

Here are the exact results for today:

As for the NL400 competition: I was pleased to see, that there were still quite a lot of fish, basically as many as on NL200 and they were just about as bad too. The regulars though seemed kinda tougher, much less nits, from who u could constantly keep stealing without any resistance. Basically the regulars were significantly more aggressive, were reraising me light pf and overally played better than regs on NL200. But sometimes their aggression was also they weakness, since their play in big pots was quite readeable.

Thats it for now, tommorow I am leaving for a short trip to Copenhagen, Denmark with my friends, so I wont play poker during the weekend. After that, I hope I will be able to stay on NL400 and attain some decent winrate (4ptbb/100 over a bigger sample would be nice).

If I will be able to beat NL400 game, then I intent to stay on NL400 for a little longer (than on NL200), because although I will keep building my BR, I will also make some cashouts, so my progress will be slowed a bit.
