Default Luck turn around after a huge downswing... LC

As you all know I was on a VERY bad downswing at the $33's over the last 20 days. After a very well timed and fortunate tounrey win I was able to move to the $55's and just as i had hoped my luck is turning around there which is VERY nice because of the higher BI. I just won 3 in a row. Holler.

P.S. Don't worry I'm not going to keep making LC posts about winning or losing, just had to share as at least one person who may wonder how I am doing at the $55's.

I've always preferred the $55s over the $33s.

From the samll number I have played, >200, I have noticed that the slighly more intelligent players are easier to take advantage of. You can actually get them to lay down mid pair.

The play at the $55s suit my game better. I tend not to do so well in wild crazy games where the best outdraw wins. This is another reason why I don't like limit games. And as ace says, the people are smarter and able to lay down mediocre hands.

Well if your bluffing them off their mediocre hands ... are they really any smarter? I think more "conservative" is the right word.

those mediocre hands that you fold are usually the worst hand, barring any reads.
