This level is cursed! I always suffer at NL8.

(Disclaimer -  i know not all these hands are NL8 but i had NL8 tables open at the same time so the curse stands)

Every time i move up to NL8 i get absolutely mullered and have to drop down to NL4 again. Had two brutal sessions in the last week at NL8. My BR is back down to 200 quid yet again. I crush NL4 quite easily and i have success at NL10 but NL8 is mullering me time and time again! Full houses over full houses, flushes over flushes, straights over straights. Its impossible.

Standard of play isnt any better than NL4 but for some reason i get some real bad ones every time i play.

Not funny any more.

Mohican

build a bankroll on nl4 that'll enable you to skip nl8.

AA v KK in pre is super great, sucks you lose but nout u can do once the wonga's in the middle mate, same goes for AK v K4.

K10 be glad they weren't sat full.

QQ - the old limp behind/raise with AA gotta love it, though he does same with QQ/KK and then you have the bullets !

I decided to power on through the variance. Turned it around a bit today...........

Dr just curious, been over a year since i last played NL8. How different is it to NL4 now.

unknown_username

I have read the post in the clinic and posted on that one for you mate. Keeps it all on one thread. 

Obviously, most of the above are recent hands from NL8. Might give you a very very small idea. (prob not lol)

If it's any consolation mate it's kicking my but too. 4 BI's down today. 3 times I ran into quads (once with a set & twice with a house). I'm quite surprised the lappie hasn't gone through the window tbh.

Keep going at it, we'll both get through it

Seen you kicking about bob. Standard doesnt seem too tough but i just seem to run big hands in to even bigger hands at the moment. Was about 40 quid down the other day at one point but got that back now.

Just power through the variance pal. I'll see ya at NL10 shortly.
