Hi all,
I've in the last 2 days moved up from NL10 to NL20, and have been losing consistently since then playing FR SSS. Now, how would I be able to tell if it's just a standard downswing, or if my play is not correct? I haven't adjusted my style at all from NL10, where I was at 3-4BB/100 over 30k hands, but it seems that no matter what I do, i'm losing money on the new limit, at this rate i'll have to move back down by the end of the week, and ideally i'd like to plug any leaks before I have to do that.
I've noticed some difference in play on NL20 at Titan, namely a lot of players slowplay big hands, and I end up pushing against them with marginal hands (as per the strategy), only to come up against someone slowplaying the nuts. Should I adjust my play somewhat to account for this, or just keep grinding the SSS?
A couple of examples:
