Well NL200 is definitely kicking my ass. I win a bit and lose a bit, coming up even most of the time and then I make a stupid move, which tilts me a bit into a second stupid move and then I'm down. I quit and take a break and try again later. I drop down to NL100 and do great, win back everything I've lost, then I try NL200 again and the cycle continues.
The weird thing is that most of the time while playing NL100 I am very clear on what I'm doing, what's going on, and how to interpret peoples moves. At NL200 I'm running into much more aggression in the form of donks, check-raises, and 3bets, and it confuses me. I managed to make a great call of a bluff right when I sat down on a table and double my stack, and then within 10 minutes I'm having to rebuy cause I've lost it all through small stupid moves.
This is DEFINITELY the hardest move between limits I've ever had. 50 to 100 was pretty tough, but this is much worse. I think it's gonna take a lot of work to make this transition for me.
When I play a NL100 session I pull 1-3 hands out that confuse me. During a NL200 session I feel like 1 out of 5 hands that I am involved in are confusing, lol. Pretty sad =( I will go through my PT later tonight and pull all the confusing ones out and put down some threads. Luckily the 2 biggest losing hands of the night were on idiotic moves by me. I say luckily cause at least I know how to fix those cause they were plain stupid... so just don't do blatantly stupid shit in the future! But I've got plenty of hands where I just dunno what to do that are minor losers and some are even winners.
I have tried to play a bit more standard LAG @ around 22/19 or so instead of my looser LAG. I can pull it off @ NL100 but @ 200 I just can't play well enough postflop.
Anyway, probably down about 1.5 buyins @ NL200 today. Geh.

One thing that has worked pretty well for me so far to make money at NL200: Frequently check behind / check+call your top pair type hands. I make loads by letting people bluff at me.
Edit: Notice I said frequently, not anywhere near always  The idea is to check behind an Ace high type hand at least once so they start to get a feel that you will check it down if you make nothing, then mix it up by checking decent hands (and they'll bluff the turn), or betting when you have nothing (which can fold out better hands). Both good results obviously. |
