I just tried the $25 NL at PartyPoker for the very first time in my life. HOLY CRAP it was easy. I mean, holllllyyyy crraappp!! I was walking all over these people like they were made of matchsticks. Any bet over $1 and they all fold! Except, I did find one SUPERFISH who played every single hand and called me down no matter what I had. WOW he was profitable. He turned my $25 into $80 within 30 minutes!!! Prime examples follow....
