Hey guys I play stictly on party skins and currently do all my playing on eurobet and pokernow where I get 25% rake back. I have amassed a very large bankroll playing nl100. I was just wondering your guys opinion on whether I should move up to the nl200 or just buy another monitor and start 6-8 tabling the nl100. Any advice would be appreciated.

I think if you have the BR to move up you should. If you get beat there you get beat and move back down where you can make a killing.
NLHE upper limit games arent filled with as many fish, so just be careful and you'll do fine. Its the same game, same cards, you just need better reads.

Remember the above came from a NL stakes master who only plays limit. Um something doesnt add up. I agree anyway.

*coughs loudly*
You can play 1 or 2 200 NL talbes and fill the rest with 100NL. If the 200 seem too difficult or you go on a bit of a slide, you can return to your 100 world of fun.

You mean the revolver, sir?
Precisely.

Those 200 dollar rooms seem to be pretty maniac heavy, just my experiance. Give it a try though, just so you know what it is all about, but be prepared to turn up the aggression. It is a completely diffrent game and you can't pull the cute shit you can at the 100s. It's fun as hell though, if you don't lose. What is your SN on there?

Ya I played on them for a couple of hours yesterday.....net losses 268 dollars. I lost one buy in to your standard all in with AA preflop losing to a set of K's The rest I just lost off off of reloading. Those guys up there are a lot more aggresive.

There are two guys, in my local game, that have been playing alot of hours at the 100NL tables for over a year. One is a "pro" (just finishing college, decided to play party instead of getting a job). They have both said that it easier to make money 8 tabling 100NL, than 4 tabling 200NL. Same thing 4 tabling 100NL vs 2 tabling 200NL.

Is that guy still part of the forum??

8-tabling ring games is doable, though 6 or 7 is more managable.
Playing more than 5 6-max tables=chaos
