We played 50c-50c NL last night in my house. For real, inside the house and not the garage! (Mrs Johnnymac relented!)
Good group of guys (and girl, Kim) and just about the perfect stakes, at least for me. Compton and Canonico were the big winners; no one was a really big loser. I won a little bit and I think Morris won, too.
My boss came over and played NL for the first time last night and he did pretty well - he won a little bit and didn't get run over as I suspect he was afraid of. This morning st work we replayed a few hands and he pretty quickly came to the conclusion on his own that NL requires a little more optimally-timed aggression than the limit and PL games that he normally plays. "Fold Equity" is important in NL and building that equity requires a good sense of timing. He'll be better next time, I am sure.
