Been awhile since I’ve made a poker post – been awhile since I’ve played seriously but I’ve started to again. I’ve got lots of free time now and need something productive to do so I’ve decided to grind. I always thought if all else failed I could just grind 2/4 NL online and make an easy $150 an hour. WRONG!

$0.50/$1.00 NL I am having a hard time with. Nearly every player is at a level where they have read a poker book and played 50,000 hands it seems. There is the occasional donk but they are few and far between. Now it’s all about how to beat competent players and find and exploit their weaknesses.

Stacking people just doesn’t exist now unless its a cooler. AK hardly ever flops an A and goes broke to a set. They are smart and can read hands well – at micro stakes!

If I can keep making $40/hour+ I’ll keep playing just to have something to do but man wtf at how hard the games got! The US needs to regulate and legalize poker, we need those fish and we need them badly.
