So I tried to go for NL10 today to see how are things and stuff.
And I must say I am largely disguisted.
Its like taking NL5 and stripping it of the decent bigstack people that want and can play poker.

Half the hands I play are either near shoves or immediate folds. People don't let go of anything including underpair on a overcard drawy suited board and as a result It seems that I just have to go for the Value Maximising approach, forcing the midstacks (There is like 20% people with full stack) To go All-in or near it in majority of hands.

I have a feeling that apart from making money this Limit is going to be extremely boring as I take out the awesome 300bb vs 300bb battles and am left with Just A.. poker (calling it ABC is too much).
Unfortunately this forces me to tighten up my range again. Bye Bye fun 45o openings I was playing profitably with 250bb+.

I tried some bluffs against the BigStacks at first, but they seem so perverted from the majority of players that they don't fold anything decent either, however hard you represent anything.
Well, Lets hope I can grind it up to NL25 as soon as possible, I saw from some videos that the bigstack percentage and percentage of normal people increases.

Gl at the tables,

LemOn

Bluffing at nl10 is pretty worthless. Just play solid and value bet.
