Starting hands?

[Jimbolito]

Iv´e just played NL for about 100 hours. Before I only played limit, up to 3/6$ but was gettin tired of being outdrawn all the time. Then I decided to try NL. I started with NL50 cuz I felt I didn´t respect the blinds at lower stakes. After about 50 hours with good results I moved up to NL100 where I am now. The thing is I havent read much about NL. There isnt as much info as there is on Limit. And I´m not sure about my starting hands Preflop.

At limit I played Tight, under 20% seen flops. But now when I lay NL I noticed I play a little loser. I would guess just above 20%. And I´m not sure this is optimally play.

I wonder if there´s any chart on the net for NL? Or if some of you better players made one yourself? Not theres any chart that always is correct, but as a gudeline.

I play medium ans small pairs alot more cuz of the implied odds. Also suited connectors. But play big unsuited less, Like K-To and Q-To. Also I often fold A-Qo agaisnt a significant preflop Raise, wich I often didnt in Limit.

So again, any charts out there so I can get a better Idea about startinghands in NL?

(I play 0.5-1 NL at Prima for now)

From what you say, it seems you have the right idea.

Don't forget position. Position is key in NL, especially 6-handed. You can play MUCH looser when you're on the button than when you're in the sb.

Of course the button is the best position and therefor u can play more hands, but in the small blind you got better potodds, double to be precise. But then the potodds arent that important in NL as in FL I guess. Implied odds make much more importance.
