Tough Time Moving Up

Hi everyone.

I've just moved up to nl400 on P a r ty. I've found the game to be way harder than nl200.

One hand in particular from my 1st session stands out. I don't see this play typically at nl200 so I'm wondering what I could have done differently... Both opponents seem like very good players, capable of laying down big hands and pushing air with a read :

Maybe I should have just pushed preflop? Many thanks for any advice.

Is this a joke? If it is, I don't get it. NH.

If the 2h was an 8s they would have both had you beat. consider yourself lucky

NH.

Gonna be honest, I don't think I get what you are asking. Then again, I'm currently at .02 / .05 no limit, without a proper bankroll. Is there something I'm missing?

your being sarcastic right ? there's still plenty of fish in NL 400 , especially 6max

nice hand by the way ...

That one hand is like 10 times my whole bankroll!

Still can't see what you did wrong though... Ok, I might have pushed pre-flop, but the flop was nice to you and so not much risk of getting rinsed. I would still have been crapping my pants though

It's a joke you guys! A FUCKING JOKE!!! He's saying higher limit games can be laughably soft too, and he's just trying to bring it around in a humorous way.

I'm folding to that flop bet.

QFA(quoted for awesomeness).

Yeah I figured I was probably beat on the flop.

But wtf, I was priced in, ya know?
