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 :
