I wrote a post below about my recent experiences in moving back down from $100 and $200NL to $25NL and due to a large withdrawl. I actually decided to change websites, I had always played at mainly party or pokerroom, but I find almost every $25NL table is %50 full of super tigh idiots who buy in for $5, which as I referenced in my post slows things down tremendously and almost forces u to play a pretty tight. Furthermore almost nobody is paying much attention to ur playstyle so u can get action even when u play ridiculously tight (I did an experiment where I only played PPs and AK and found it to be very profitable at $25NL), though very boring), also any hand I played I was betting preflop which helped to generate action for the sets or big pairs down the road, I was surprised by how little i ever got a RR, ull see JJ-AA flat call ur little preflop raise much of the time in $25Nl thinking they are gonna "slowplay" you. People do remember if u bet alot tho (as opposed to if u dont) so often times if u want to fold someone who u think is ahead of u but has a marginal hand u can change things up and start checking, most likely they will assume ur trying to "slowplay" some crap on them and get out of the hand..

Aside from that little gesture tho I found LAG play at $25Nl to be very inefficient. People grow attached to their hands and wont fold even to dangerous boards, and u wont get near the action u deserve.

$25Nl seems to me almost a grind within a rigid ruleset (tho u do have to do the odd thing to keep everyone a little on their toes) without a ton of room for creative play. I moved to titanpoker because oddly enough I observed there are a much smaller amount of $5 tightwads there. (which seems counterintuitive since u cant use pokertracker for titan so u think they'd relish some anonymity) I think the final straw was when I sat down at a table without checking it out ahead of time at party and of course i had bough in for full stack, $25, only to look out at 6 guys with between $3-$5 , one with 7.50, and lastly a guy with .93 cents. So far Ive been much happier with titans players.
