afte ri reached 2000BR again i tried a NL 100 session today
the shoot came earlier than i originally intended ... but i simply figured out that i beat NL50 so hughe that it was a waste if i didnt try another Nl100 session.

So i started playing.
1st thing i really realized now is that NL100 on Ipoker is much more like NL25Pokerstars then Nl50Ipoker
ure fold equity in big pots is close to zero >-<

80% of my NL50 winnings whith which i crushed it came from pure agression and being a sick aggro postflop player
i realized very soon today that this style will not work one bit at Nl100
As soon as people are in the pot they will either insta fold or they will play till showdown ...

So there is absolutely no way to bluff people out of big pots ...
i was - 450$ after just 400hands trying to play my NL50 style ...

Then i changed my style completely
Ofc since i figured out the style which whitch i approached Nl50 was not working on Nl100 and i had to change something.
so since every "reg" at Nl100 plays TAG hit or fold poker , i figured out the best way to beat them is polarize my preflop range more and play all kinds of low SConnectors...

this was the only way to make sure i can constantly win big pots vs them. ( since they overplay their overpairs and TPTK)
besides that i really tightend up so much postflop and did only maybe 3-4 bluffs in the next 2K hands
bluffs worked really well on NL50ipoker but on Nl100 Ipoker there is almost no chance ...

And hell it worked !
next 2000hands i had the biggest cashflow/hands i ve ever had in my life
i made + 520 $ in 2K hands with that strategy ! I stacked people left and right with my hidden 2pairs,trips and straights vs their overpairs and TPTK
-> lol that was 130$ net profit an hour ....

at hand 2400 i was + 70$ and about to quit the session ...
last hand unfortunetlly i had Nutstraight on a paired board vs an 87/30/2 donkey ...
this time he rivered FH being 150BB deep with me ....

so i was - 80$ again and didnt want to quit session ...
then i lost every flip vs shortsacks and also tilted a bit ...
finally ended down -230 overall

Negative
well BR is down to 1750$ again and i had a losing session which sucks ...

positive
-I found a way from which i firmly belive is able to beat Nl100 for > 4BB/100
-I again progressed as a player
- session starting from where i adapted my strategy(including tons of ugly bad beats and coolers) was + 230$ in 2,1K hands which is really nice... ~ 6BB/100

Well i really liek to look at it from an EV point of view
today I lost some money but the expectet value of money i will make in the future drastically increased.

maybe i ll play another session in the evening

btw here is a pic from yesterdays party where i met the drunken poker player ...

I really don't like the way you make your conclusions after such a short time/small samples.

"I stacked people left and right with my hidden 2pairs,trips and straights vs their overpairs and TPTK"

Maybe you just run sick hot this 2000 (?) hands? This sounds like you were always behind and were just catching up if you "hitting trips, 2 pair, straights against overpairs or TPTK".

I don't wanna be an ass or something...but such conclusions with such small samples can be heavily misleading.

i know what ure trying to say

But its just the way people play on Nl100
I was ahead when money got in ofc ...

and ofc i was behind preflop ...
but it really comes down to ; which ranges make the best profit vs villian ranges and i find that low sc have sick implied odds vs their ranges

U see what i did there with A8 ? He 4 bets and there we go insta jam A8 : ---booooom -- . hahahaha ( Krantz)
