Moving back up to $100NL has given me mixed results and mixed feelings. I did quite well at $100NL winning around $500 in 12k hands and was $300 below EV, I also lost 3 stacks with KK vs AA and had no AA vs KK myself which means my results were even more impressive. That said I still wasn’t comfortable grinding $100NL, I was playing too tight for my liking and I put this down to not really having the bankroll to grind knowing at I could have a 20-30 buyin downswing at any time. Therefore I’ve decided to move back down to the $50nl shallow tables until I reach SuperNova, I have around 140k fpps right now and when I reach SuperNova I’ll have enough to purchase the $4k cash bonus from the vip store.
I’m pretty sure I can beat $100NL, I’m just a little nitty with my bankroll until I know I can beat it. I really want to open up my game, I’ve been playing pretty tight at $100NL which is mainly down to people wanting to play back at me because of my status, a lot of those players are better than I am and I tend to over adjust to them sometimes, people might see me 4bet them and think I’m only doing it with a big hand but the truth isn’t always the case, although alot of the time when I make a move I get owned and 5bet shoved on, I can’t always be running into monsters.
What I want is the confidence to open up, try new things and not worry about dropping 20-30 buyins in the progress of trying to improve my game, right now I don’t and won’t until I reach SuperNova.

Good luck at $100NL man. This is where you can start to make some pretty serious coin
Keep up the good work, and good luck at the tables!

Hey Jeff, thx for your kind words, I’m not crushing yet but I have improved quite a bit recently.
I might just take you up on your offer when I move back to the 40-100bb games.
Takecare.

Just found your blog from a 2p2 thread about you – really enjoying it. Guess there’s an opening on team online for the nanostakes representative now you’ve moved up
btw, is there anyway you can set your feed settings to show the whole post? I’m following you using Google Reader and it only shows a short snippet for each post…

it looks like you’re using wordpress, so it’s under Settings, Reading, then ‘For each article in a feed, show ‘ and select full text
(if you want to that is, I’ve added you to my blogroll anyway!)
