I have been playing now for 4 month. April was my first winning month and after starting to practice what I learned here and with much reading everywhere, I find the 0.25NL really EASY!
I am playing with very low variance and still know (have identified them, mostly with PT) of many, many bad things about my play. What was definitive to start winning was to stop calling when somebody has outdrawn me (dont know why I couldnt believe I was beat, had to SEE!!). I still do it but, I am also working on that.
My stats, for the last month are:
VP$IP = 29%, PFR = 9%, AF = 1.9 , W$WSF 34.5%, W$WSD = 52% (I still need to fold more), winnings 7.89BB/100
That is for 6handed and full ring. For Full ring I am rated TAA with only 21% VP$IP, and for 6handed I am sLAA with almost 38% of VP$INP. This rating was changing all the time (6handed) from sLAA to Vanilla and forth because I find players at 6seat tables to be extremely loose and aggressive, so I, sometimes, just play tight and let them command until the river, where I bet the pot big. I am being called. And this startegy is making money! so I dont complain...
Given those stats, what do I have to know before going up to 0.50BB NL tables?
Any strategy change to keep winning when I start there?
What should I expect? Different moves? More aggressive players/plays?
My bankroll is now only 850+. I will get to 1000 this week (I hope). I think I am comfortable with 20 buy ins, so with that I am OK.
Thanks to all of you, I have been winning for almost 2 month and you are responsible of that!
