Thanks for the encouragement guys. I’ve been running good. Up a little over 4 BI in my first decent session of 25nl. I honestly think that tables on average are looser at 25nl. I don’t want to adjust my game too much as I know I’ll probably level myself but I’m thinking toning down some of the aggression such as blind stealing and raising limpers may be warranted. I just feel like I’m being floated a lot which I know I’m not it’s just players not recognizing that I’m tight and that they should fold when I bet lol. This being said if in my next session I’m sitting at a table and its nit town I’ll exploit it.

Here’s some hands.

Villain is 11/11/30 with a steal of 30 over 35 hands. Should I be waiting for more history against opponent before I try this play? Thoughts on second barrel?
