You have poor game selection if you believe this is true.

Finding NL600 games in the first place is difficult (2 or 3 on Party network), but NL400 games I usually go on pot average/ flop % first and then targetting/profiling weak players. It's still not like it was in early to mid-2004 low stakes where you'd see TPTK stacked by an overpair on a regular basis. Flop check-raises mini to big often represent a monster.

Sorry if I'm just restating the obvious for everyone here except other beginners who stumble onto this thread.

ANALYSIS:

I seem to get caught wanting to push here.

These are exactly the types of hands that are giving me trouble on the NL400 tables. I've been pushing and losing in these situations.

Good thinking players stick out like sore thumbs in NL400.
So I assume this is an average NL400 player like the ones I play against or the OP would mention it in his post.

At this level most players can't think beyond their own hand.



NL400 players bets mean what they say.

There is no guile in NL400.

He is screaming, "I have a fabulous hand"

I seem to lose money when I push in these types of situations.

I should learn to belive these guys and call or fold.

Checkraising the flop seems to be the limits of their trickyness for the most part.

SUMMARY:

Call if you like the pot odds, fold if you think you're beat, but don't push unless you think he is one of the rare thinking NL400 players.

Is that correct?

// BTW I'm a terrible player but I've been winning in the short term (5000 hands)

On party this is true, on Prima, Youd be surprised, but alot of players take this line with AJ KJ as well, [censored] they cant fold preflop.
