I really need to start getting serious amounts of hands played. Been doing too much studying/discussing various topics with friends lately. Well, probably not too much, since it's been constructive, but regardless I need to start getting hands in. GO GO GO!!!

No, but I can get it if need be.
P.S. If you are wanting to sweat me, it will probably be in the 3pm 3K GTD. It's coming up in 1/2 hour and I sattied in.
Edit: I guess I can't get MSN. My OS is XP Home and I never could get the Service Pack 2 to d/l. I've went through CS and everything and they could never figure out why it wouldn't d/l. So no MSN for me.

There is a thread over on 4 about this. Apparently they are taking 1c/20c instead of 5c/$1 before. Net effect is that 25nl players will pay slightly more rake than before because pots that see a flop but don't reach $1 will still be raked whereas before they were not. So if say SB completes, BB checks, SB bets flop and BB folds there is now rake taken. They did drop the rake at 10nl and below to like 6% from 10% so it's better for 10nl players. Only 25nl will be effected negatively, because at 50nl at up any hand that sees a flop will have a pot of $1 or greater.

Whether or not I'm seeing ghosts (i.e., whether anyone's really doing this at 10NL or 25NL), there's a really cool blog posting from gobsmacked1 on stoxpoker.com describing the strategy that my theoretical ghosts are using:
"The key concept I want to talk about today is this - using position to completely frustrate/tilt/dominate/anger regulars at the level you play... For instance, the flop comes down 9-6-3 rainbow and your opponent cbets. bluff raise that sh*t! Good tag players HATE playing raised pots out of position against aggressive players unless they are very comfortable with their hand."
The full discussion is very good, above is just a snippet. http://www.stoxpoker.com/viewblogs.php?memberblog=true

Oh boy, am I being played this way! I really hate this shit and it is very tilting. But I've learned to just move tables when I see this happening a lot.
Another thing they like to do, is when I'm on the button, they raise it 5x BB. I can't even steal anymore! Frustrating.😡😡
Blog updated from last nights efforts, can't beleive I wasnt in the 25,000,000,000th hand 🙁
First shot at 10NL

That's cra-p. Seriously must be suicide inducing.
Anyway. Hello! Been reading this great thread and going to try and get a bit more active in it now I've gone from 2 to 5NL (yeah I'm balla 🙂). Been some great advice here so far and I hope to be the benefit of it and, hopefully, make some sort of decent contribution myself.
