Things haven't changed since you played then Majakovskij.

I find that I get away with this alot more at Prima than on Party (the only two I play now). For me, Party usually has 75% calling stations and Prima has 50% CS and 50% LP. But you really need to gauge based on the table you're on at any given time.

If I've got alot of CS then I limp/call till I hit and then pound them.(Completely Rock) If I find myself with a lot of TP/LP then I play TAG. Most will fold to aggression and if they dont then you know where u stand.
“The real things to know is that folks will stand to lose more than they will to win. That’s the most important percentage there is. I mean, if they lose, they’re willin’ to lose everything. If they win, they’re usually satisfied to win enough to pay for dinner and a show. The best gamblers know that.” - Pug Pearson

Zuc--

25NL strategy--Be prepared to be sucked out regularly as most are CS. That's fine. Play tight. No bluffs. Make the nuts and go all in. You'll get called an amazing amount of the time (definitely +EV to value betting).

Also, I almost always pay to draw even without proper pot odds? Why? because of the implied odds. I know that at $25NL I can probably CR them all-in with the draw I just made and they will not be able to lay down their TPTK.

First time poster and just wanted to say thanks for this thread! This BONUSAUG reload at Party was my inaugral try at NL play. I have always been a ring game limit player before. I've been wanting to try out NL and the reload seemed like a good time to do it. I was looking for advice on other forums and someone pointed me here. Great NL forum, best one out there! For my first try at the $25NL tables, this advice served me very well. Got out of a Party bonus ahead for once, almost matching the bonus. Given it was my first attempt at NL, I was very pleased. Thanks for the great tips!
