nl50, the drama continues

still taking a shot at nl50 and the differences are coming through and i'm starting to adjust my natural game. so far i've noticed the following;

1) tighter - the games have tightened up a little i think, not by much but i would say players ranges are a little tighter so you need to be playing hands that can withstand a little pressure

2) aggression - this has shot up from nl25. players really push marginal hands on the flop and also play their draws aggressively, especially flush draws

3) floating - never really noticed this at nl25 but have certainly seen players floating and pushing on the turn

4) shortstacking - geez, its everywhere, really hard to find a game with all players sitting on a full buy-in. funny thing is, players seem to be shortstaking with 50-60bb or so but aren't willing to commit as easily as they do in nl25. think this is defo -ev

still looking for more differences and no doubt i'll continue to spot them as i play there but the good news is that i've managed to wipe out the disastrous start i had at nl50 and turn the month around to be in profit...just :)

also still unsure what to do with my first rakeback. any suggestions would be helpful!
