So I ran another little brief test session in 25NL, and I have to say my intial impression is that the 25NL players in my small test case are far WORSE then 10NL players. I don't know if its the high rolling gamblers that should be playing 10NL, but the bluffing so far has just been insane. It's also been transparent as hell. I was up as far as 790 at one point but I ran into some hands like a brick wall. I paid off a set vs set (55 vs 44), and stack a guy on what I knew was a big mistake if I had just saw the signs better. Set detection is such a huge leak in my game:

First let me say I hate this hand. I chant to myself that I hope someone raises so I don't have to play AJ. I HATE IT. Anyways, the signs were there. The guy limps UTG, calls the raise, check raises the flop. CLASSIC SET! I was blinded by my top 2 pair, and I shove. Forget the $5 donk (The $2 10NL donks are 5$ donks in 25NL) who flopped the biggest set of the three, because his money wasn't even important, but man if there wasn't a big enough red flag on his set, I don't know what else is. I wasn't folding that re-raise, but I might have been able to save a few coins.

Overall I think I am going to look forward to 25NL. I'll play some sporadically over the day with no WoW, and no clue whats up with my Friday night.

Bankroll: $754.35 (10.35)
