Im playing 5/5 NL now somewhat outside my BR ($4000+) since you can sit down for $500. Whatever, BR management is a guide, not a religion. Anyway...
Yes, it is. Now praise my word!
I'm up $2000 tonight in 5 hours of play. Blah blah variance!!! I know, i realize this doesnt mean I own this game but im positive my game has reached a new level. I feel I pushed people off hands when I should've, utilized position at a new level and made some sick reads. I was able to lay down KK preflop when UTG called preflop and then raised hard when i bet. Easy laydown to some, not so easy to others. Im glad I had no regrets when mucking. I made some good bluffs early on and showed so that people doubted my play. Then I tightened up and took a monster 1k pot when I called $30 preflop with 9s in EP. Flop is A 9 4 rainbow. I led out for $20 and immediately got swarmed by raises to which I pushed when it got back to me. My set of 9s held up against 44 and AK.
I know this is variance but I honestly believe my game has elevated to the next level. Im certainly using position to the fullest and I tend to trust my reads more.
Thats all.

Confidence is very important to winning.
If you don't play with confidence, you don't play at your best.

I honestly think you're 100% right. Sad thing is it took me over a year to fully comprehend the value of aggression and confidence.

Best part is: you're just about properly bankrolled!

My best ring game is when I've just finished heads up in a S&G. I often carry the left over aggression into a passive tight table and play very well.

dumb question from a limit guy: what's 5/5 NL? two equal blinds of $5? what is the rationale behind this? how does it change the game strategy?

Blind steals are better.
Nothin else.

i guess it kinda makes sense since nobody ever folds their SB anyway, if the pot is unraised. being a limit player, i used to fold my SB a lot but i realized i was missing a ton of two pairs, trips, and even boats just to save a few pennies here and there.

Confidence and reads. I think you must have improved in the latter for the former to be effective.
