Party NL100 compared to NL200?

If you can beat the 100s you can definately beat the 200s. TAG play wins big at 200NL.

Well I started playing NL on tuesday... I've put in like...15k hands since then... This has been an absolute cakewalk. 15%vpip nut peddling + stabbing at passive pots has returned me 5-6PTBB/100 I started 8 tabling half way through day 1... 4 tables was just way too slow for me.

Its very possible that I'm running well. I havent been playing NL long enough to really be able to tell...I have had a fair amount of bad beats, but i dont know if i've recieved my full share yet [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

Anyway, i'm curious how the 200NL compares? I still plan on putting about 30k more hands in at NL100. If the results are the same as they have been, I'll most likely be moving up. Will I need to start pumping up my vpip/pfr to try to get more action? Or is TAG nut peddling still a viable strategy?

Thx all,
DCW

As far as I know, Nut peddling works in any full ring game.. at least up to 10/20NL

I keep getting my face bashed in at Party NL100 tables. I can't say what it is. I beat NL25 at 17.5/100, NL50 at 16.5/100. At NL100 Im like -20/100 after 900 hands. I know its a small sample, but I was having trouble affording a larger one. So I decided to give the NL200 a shot buying in short(I know its a sin around here). But I'm beating it for about 6/100.

not much of a difference.

I was nutpeddling at 25NL and was making money. Then I decide to get fancy and imagine I'm Phil Ivey and start playing hyper-aggressive. Now I've been losing all week. Back to nut-peddling...

Money isnt an issue and doesnt really effect my play. I've made quite a bit playing limit...a 1600 downswing wont phase me in the least :P

Discipline is one thing I'm not lacking in at all. Skill, however... [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

A buddy of mine (won't mention his name since he posts here and I don't want to call him out) was crushing the 100s and moved up to the 200s this past summer. He was doing fine until last week when he dropped over 10 stacks. I don't think NL is nearly as swing as Limit but these things do happen at the 200s.

However, that being said, there are some pretty terrible players at the 200s (less than at the 100s) but definitely enough to make it worth your while to take a shot. If you drop 5 stacks, jump back down, but I say go for it.

I decided to take a shot at Party's 200 game today. So far I'm noticing it's a lot tougher. All the TAG's are no longer predictable nut peddlers. I am getting played back at when I try to steal blinds way more than I was at 100. This is the first time I've encountered thinking opponents.

In addition to the TAG's being better, there's more of them. Where NL100 had about 5 or 6 tight players at each table, NL200 has about 7 or 8. It's like everybody is waiting for their chance to bust the fish, and 8 of them are bound to be disappointed.

Note that these observations are from only about 600 hands and it could just be a slow day at Party.

agreed. you might have to make a few more marginal calls though.

Why are you 8 tabling? Didn't getting crushed when you moved up to 5/10 limit teach you anything?
