200NL!!!!!! (ish)

well after breaking even for 40k hands of 100NL, i looked through lots and lots of hands, and while not running too good, iv'e been spewing all over the place. So naturally it got my thinking wtf am i doing, i must hate money. I came to the conclusion that i am actually sick of playing 100NL and am desperate to move up, despite only having 25-30 buyins for 200NL(not enough for 10-12 tabling me tinks).

So i had a good idea! I remembered a 50BB buyin strategy thread on FTR, so i looked it up and read it all and tested it out by buying into 200NL with $100.. loving it. Descisions are just so, so much easier when you have 50BB's.. for example. You raise AA UTG and the button cold calls. The flop comes down KQ9 with 2 hearts, you lead and button raises. Now if you were full stacked, this is a really tough spot, as opponent could easily have a set, 2 pair, a pair+FD, a straight etc etc and your going to have to make the choice whether to shove or fold now (calling is awful ldo).
Now picture the same spot with 50BB's in front of you.. EZ shove. Being short also helps you get paid with big hands, in the past 5 hours iv'e gotten QQ, KK, AA, AK all in vs hands like 99, AQ, AJs, TT, JJ.. where as i'd get much less action if i 3 or 4 bet and had 100BB's in that spot. Also, Q10 can't fold vs my KK on QXX :p.

So anyway, finished up a few buyins doing that, and hope to continue tomorrow, currently in 107th in the raked hands leaderboard which is sucky and only worth $250, top 50= $750, top 25=$1000, top 10= $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

Also, i have a new internet connection so no more disconnections for me kthx!

Anyways, lets play some cards! :D
