Y...Hey McBluffN,<br /><br />Thanks glad this article helped!<br /><br />You definitely don't need to 4Bet light very often (or if at all) at 5NL in order to win. But it is something that you can begin to think about working into your game because it is necessary at higher limits.<br /><br />It is definitely a difficult spot when you 4Bet bluff one of these baby aces and hit top pair.

I do 4 bet light with the blockers but its ironic because i feel much more confident when i dont hit top pair than when i do. Possibility of being outkicked is a pretty scary thing especially when youve already invested around 30% or more on a 4 bet.

I do find the 5NL games to be a bit softer in general when I have played it on these sites compared to a site like PokerStars for example which offers both 2NL and 5NL.BlackRain79https://www.blogger.com/profile/13583442498190608166noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3503203097950401361.post-17021016398859878142019-07-31T10:01:09.615+07:002019-07-31T10:01:09.615+07:00Ya people often look at me weird when I say it but...Ya people often look at me weird when I say it but the relative skill difference between 2NL and 5NL is the greatest in all of online poker in my opinion. Both games are still easy to beat for somebody with a solid strategy and tilt control, but the regulars at 5NL are considerably better on average than at 2NL.BlackRain79https://www.blogger.com/profile/13583442498190608166noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3503203097950401361.post-21778642019303450442019-07-31T06:53:23.164+07:002019-07-31T06:53:23.164+07:00You alluded to my question in your response.

Do you find on sites where 5NL is the lowest buy in, it plays a lot like 2NL and we should be implementing those strategies (which aren't that different anyway). For example, Ignition offers 5NL a sits lowest level and I find that plays more like crazy NL2 than NL2 on ACR. I just wondered if we should implement more complex strategies and stuff ForJessica Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04241043693724014915noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3503203097950401361.post-61337413293525687382019-07-31T04:39:39.436+07:002019-07-31T04:39:39.436+07:00I wouldn't completely agree on #5, studying pa...I wouldn't completely agree on #5, studying part. While you definitely have to work on your game, learning some advanced concepts may actually bring you more harm than good.

Because the truth is not all 5NL games play the same.<br /><br />On some poker sites the 5NL games might be full of huge fish and you should play the unbalanced ABC big value style that works so well in most 2NL games.

The tougher games, the more you need to play “correct poker”, and vice versa. Right now I am playing some 5NL SNAP on 888 because of a promotion, and I definitely note some clear differences to my normal 10NL or 20NL games. <br /><br />There are clearly a lot more players at 5NL SNAP, that just cant fold.
