Gone Fishing

I had heard a few rumours that the NL100 tables were a lot better since stars implemented the table changes.

I have been playing NL50 all month and yesterday I played 2 short sessions at NL100. I made small wins in both sessions but I decided to play only 10 tables. When I was winning at poker I never played more than 10 tables at any one time.

Today I fired up my 10 tables again and have won again, all 3 sessions today. So that's 5 sessions out of 5, hmmmmmmm.

I can say that there were 2 extremely tough spots where I made big lay downs, correctly or incorrectly I don't know but if I was 24 tabling they would have probably been insta calls where I wouldn't have had the time to think through how the hand played. I usually get shown the nuts in these situations and cry for a little bit.

I will try and stick to this new set-up unless I have a hugely bad run.

Some nice fish are back at NL100 and here is an example. You would never see a reg call pre with this hand in the SB
