                            So I hit 4k yesterday and decided to start taking some NL200 shots, especially starting today and going through the weekend since we should be getting a huge influx of fish right now.  I played about 200 hands this morning and lost 1 buyin while running super cold.  Every flop I missed and Cbet I got raised or check-raised, and every flop I hit my Cbets were met with folds.  I think I also sat into people having a huge heater vs me cause I kept getting 3bet and whenever I 3bet I got 4bet.  At first I was thinking "WTF raises, 3bets, nonstop, is NL200 super fucking aggressive?".  But my session later today showed that I was just running into hands. 
 
My second session went better though I made some mistakes and got lucky.  Could have been a devastating session but I sucked out JJ vs AA AIPF and hit a flush vs a set all-in on the flop in a 3bet pot.  I ended up winning 2.5 buyins and recovering from the first session. 
 
When I tried to move up to NL200 10 months ago I failed miserably.  I was terrified and playing very scared.  The money seemed like so much.  And my heater was ending so all my spewy plays were causing me a lot of pain.  I had no idea how to handle 3bets and suddenly people were 3 betting all the time, causing me to spaz out and spew.  It was really bad. 
 
This time went much better.  I wasn't nervous at all.  The money didn't seem like a lot.  I felt very comfortable.  The only problem I had was in 3bet pots - I didn't have the balls to be aggressive unless it was a perfect board for it, and I was also a bit too stationy.  I need to review all my 3bet hands and figure out if I was just playing scared or if I was being smart.  Other than that I felt great and can't wait to make NL200 my regular level.  For the first time the money feels significant enough that I think "Yeah I could make a some good cash outta this".  NL100 kinda has that feel, but you gotta grind a lot.  NL200 is still a grind, but to the point where I can do it on the side and make about 1-2k a month which would be a nice supplement to my job. 
 
I'm gonna go study now and if I feel good after studying I will play more poker.  If the tables are good I'll do NL200, otherwise I'll keep on NL100. 
 
Hopefully I'll soon be making a post about having a huge NL200 heater!

                            haha it may seem like that since I haven't talked poker lately, but it's been over 10 months since the last time I tried this.  Taken me 10 months to get back here.  So it's been way long, hehe. 
 
but things have gone much faster after doing coaching with sakisaki =)  |
