    Default 25NL the old 50NL?

    i feel that 25NL is no longer the "starting point" for players. 10NL...or 5NL...is. 25NL is the old 50NL. full of rocks and hard to grind through, imo.

    any thoughts? or do i just suck now? lol.
    LHE is a game where your skill keeps you breakeven until you hit your rush of random BS.

    Nothing beats flopping quads while dropping a duece!

    My opinion, Full Till full ring. There is a difference between 10nl and 25nl, but the jump to 50nl has been the first where i've been forced to get better to keep winning.
    I don't know how it used to be in the good ol' days tho
    don't raise with the straight flush bro, nobody ever gonna call that shit
    allin, reload, repeat

    I think that's true, but it also varies from site to site. Full Tilt 50NL is harder dan Party/Everest etc.

    25NL/50NL on party is still pretty weak. I only played just over 7000 hands, but still found a lot of players taking TP type of hands way way too far.

    Its weak because everyone takes the same line with hands, no one ever mixes it up. I find that a lot of players are pretty solid with their PF hand selection and hands they take to showdown.
    this is at 50 btw.
    Flopping quads and boats like its my job

    4 people all in against your top set for 100bb, and two of them didn't have a pair yet. You would find yourself laughing maniacally at your computer, while planning purchases.
    It's not what's inside that counts. Have you seen what's inside?
    Internal organs. And they're getting uglier by the minute.

    lol nice, 50nl aint so bad its still easily beatable. I do agree you gotta think more.
    Jman: every time the action is to you, it's an opportunity for you to make the perfect play.

    after moving down to 25nl recently, its slightly harder than it used to be but still very exploitable.
