NL strategy

[Talking Poker]

I think it's interesting. As you are seeing, it looks like playing normally is more profitable, but I do think it's interesting.

As for your 2 BB/100 win rate, if you are able to play 12 tables at a time and log 60 hands per hour per table, that comes out to 2 * 12 * 60 / 100 = 14.4 BB per hour, which is nothing to sneeze at. With a $2 BB (not sure what table buy in that corresponds to), you're approaching $30 per hour playing mindless poker, yes?

Are you really able to earn 14 BB/100 at $25 NL normally? That's astounding....

I have heard this before, but it is way too restrictive.

Easy money is there for the taking at low buy in NL games. Get on a site, look for a table where there are several players playing below the buy in. On party, it is not hard to find a table with 6-7 seats with players who buy in with $20-$40 when the maximum buy-in is $100.

Get a good hand and put them all in. They will call with Ax, QJ, 78, etc. Just last night, I went all in with JJ and was called with someone holding K5o. He had $34 and then bought in again for $20. A few hands later I put him all in with my 66 and he called again with K5, though suited this time. He typed in "K5 is my lucky hand." Not anymore, I guess.

It may not seem like much, but taking $20 at a time adds up real quick.
