ty for the responses. I think my biggest problem was, just like you said, not adjusting to the players. the players I play live (in a set of different home games) have adapted me to play the way I do, and I did not develop the ability to come down.

thanks for not flaming me. I will definitely work on this. the reason I brought it up at all is that I did jump up to 100nl for a while (before I cashed out too much) and did reasonably well... but for right now my b/r dictates 25nl.

Im glad I escaped the "flaming noobie question" pretty much unscathed. I realize my biggest leak right now is thinking in cash earned instead of BB/100.

thanks again
