200NL treating me well.

Well, I have moved up to 200NL and things have been going well. Rather than playing 8 tables like I was at 50NL and 100NL I have only been playing four tables and really trying to concentrate on my game. It seems to be working for the time being running at 14 ptbb/100 over my first 2.5K hands at that level.

In my oppinion 200NL is much easier to beat than 100NL because the play is much more predictable. Players are not making moves that don't make any sense. They still make bad plays but at least their bad plays have some logic behind them. If I put someone on a range of hands usually I am pretty close to what they actually have, whereas at 100NL sometimes I would be completely off. There are still times at 200NL where players baffle me by doing something stupidly insane, but like I said, things seem to much more simple.

Neteller shutdown to US costumers now and it seems like it is getting more and more difficult for players in the US to put their money into sites and take money out. I keep thinking that it is some kind of bad dream and I will wake up and poker will be legal in the United States again. It seems like the PPA is doing a good job trying to get an exemption for poker, so hopefully that is something that happens in the near future. If so, in a year or two I hope to have the capital to create my own online poker site and make millions of dollars as the casino operator rather than the guy that feeds the rake.

Peace.
