My opinion on Party NL600 game
Just wanted to ask, how other lp players view NL600 on party.

I am asking mainly because to me it seems like the game is getting tougher recently. It seems like it is becoming more and more regular-only game except from weekend evenings / hollydays.

Of course lot of the regulars are still pretty bad, but when I started to play in this game about 7 weeks ago, it was not much of a problem to find 3-4 good tables with at least 1 or 2 real fish (i mean, 60+/10-/1 or something). Now, it is really very difficult to find a table with these players except during weekends. Especially mondays and tuesdays are really bad imo. Also recently, I often see players that are NL1k regs to come down to NL600.

So, is it just me not runnning as hot as i did before or is it a fact, that the game got tougher recently.

And I am not writing this because of a downswing or anything, I am actually still winning in these games, but my recent winrate went a little down (not by a lot, just a bit) and more importantly I have to pay a lot more attention to table selection, because there often are realy awfull tables at times.

Progress update

March
Poker has been kinda nice during the whole month of March - I managed to like double my Bankroll. (I even made more than Saki hehe

)

April
Since the beginning of April, I have been strugling a bit -started with a -10k downswing, since then I kept slowly winning my money back and now I am already quite decently up in cash games for the month after a few good days, like 7k or so, which I consider ok, given I have played only about 22k hands.

Tournaments
Finally, I also had a decent tourney success in April - I cashed in 3 tournaments during 1 day for a total of 4.5k net profit (2nd in $55 freezeout, 8th in $33 rebuy, 44th in $100 freezeout 100k gtd).

Future poker plans
I want to continue playing the NL600 game on party till I get really confident against majority of the regulars. Then I will try out NL1000 game and see if it is that much harder or not. It can be within next 3 weeks, but it can take me months, I dunno, I am definately in no hurry to move up.
I also want to refine my tournament skill, so I will probably play more of $50 and $100 frezeouts, maybe even some $200 weekly events here and there.
