    Default Not much has changed

    I've just got my bankroll over 250 and now making the move from $6 SNG to $11 on Party Poker and WOW! Level of play hasn't changed, second hand 7 players see the flop and three players move all in on flop As Ks 7d. Players holdings were A 9o, A 5o, 2s3s. I hope theres more players like this at this level.

    I find more donkeys at the mid sng stakes ($22 - $55) than at the lower stakes ($3-$11) to be honest, so once you get your bankroll up a bit higher look forward to more of the same. I'm not sure about the higher stakes $100+ so can't comment on them as my bankroll hasn't been big enough to support them just yet

    Yeah, that's true.

    i am not by any means a great poker player. but for the last two months, ive only played nl1000 and lower limit live games.

    when i was at ultimatebet, i had huge swings at nl400, but since then its just be gradually up with a few bumps. it does seem there are alot of donks at nl1000 to me, but i think its just because you can get away with bluffing and stealling because people dont want to piss away 100 bucks on osmething they dont feel is solid, where as at lower limits, they just call you down all day and hope for the best

    Your making a good point Coleman, the better players get the higher the limits you go, in some ways makes it easier to play, I find if I switch from say $1/$2 live to a $5/$5 or a $5/$10 table I'm much more profitable because the players have an idea of things like pot odds, if the board looks scary you can bluff at it and they will throw hands away, whereas in the lower limits and the players can't read the board quite so well and are generally just donks you have to play accordingly.

    I hope my post makes sense haha

    No that's not the point I was making, however sometimes having a higher standard of player does maker it 'easier'.
    And I'm not recommending any NL25 players to go and put their whole bankroll into a NL1000 table, lol

    I know that. But it is not easier to beat higher stakes.
