Moving up

Yeah baby, yesterday I had my 1st ever shot at NL100.

Since I’m usually 2-3tabling the plan is simple: 

2000 - 2250: 2*NL50 + 1*NL100
2250 - 2500: 1*NL50 + 2*NL100
2500 - 4000: 3*NL100 – but I will play on both limit depends on my targets

Sometimes I feel myself really good so I can 4tabling but that’s the maximum. A chance to lose the game flow and my ability to take notes... well for me those extra hands that another table would means just doesn’t worth it at all.
 
I played 3 mixed sessions: 342 hands at NL100 and 606 hands at NL50.

My first impressions, feelings, thoughts
  • my pants was full in the 1st session
  • I played a little bit passively (less 3bets, sqz, 4bets) than usual
  • but the game is the same, fish is fish - reg is reg
  • this is still poker “not the science of rockets“
  • I thought this limit will be more aggressive than the NL50 but it wasn’t
  • I know, this is very small sample but looks like the only difference is in our head – because of the bigger stacks, pots, blinds etc

So I played my B or B+ game at NL100 imo. In the same time I was really good at NL50 (I will post a river overbet hand in the other thread). I had bad luck: lost a pre ai w AA vs KK but luckily not at NL100 – always look on the bright side of life :-)

Anyway I had a very funny hand which makes this 1st shot much nicer and easier. Look at that brilliant turn play :-D

Opponent is a 66/2/32 fish after 324 hands. He is not an aggro monkey and he is able to fold to cbets (F: 52%, T: 46% - 100% in 3bet pots). He doesn’t like to bet vs MCB (25% oop).

I thought my only chance to win something here if he has an Ace or if I can irritate him and makes him angry. That’s what I was doing on the turn…
