Default Re: Big Jump - From Party $100NL to $1000NL??

I haven't posted much lately, and not at all on this, so here goes.

The party games are great, obviously. I'm playing more there now than prima or pokerroom

The 600 may be more profitable for me than the 1000. I'm doing well in each, but often, I'm one of the best 1 or 2 players at the 600, this is rarely the case in the 1000.

The second tier of superstar NL players (not prahlad, other known pros, etc.) are in the 1000. They are tricky, they trap, they will rape you will slick when they catch you on AQ. They extract the maximum out of tptk and other marginal hands.

The "huge" pot averages are often reflective of this fact. If you want to move up, play the 400 or the 600. There are solid, straigtforward players and donks; rarely will you run into 3 superstars at the same table.

At the 1000, you'll see what appears to be a donk (vpip 40, pfr 20 over say 500 hands) who's making the fish comfortable and lulling the weak tight pokertrackes worshippers to sleep.

good luck
