    for some reason my last 9200 hands i played at 25nl on PS.. i've been struggling.

    im up +$27.85 in profit but my EV is -$83.23

    im fortunate that im running above EV so far, but my negative EV the last 9200+ hands starting to worry me as if i cant beat this stake anymore.

    my overall: 24000+ hands at 25NL

    my bb/100 is 5.19, BB/100 is 2.59
    my EV bb/100 is 4.00, my EV BB/100 is 2.00

    i noticed ever since PS removed the american players and those 25-50bb tables, i've been struggling to compete against the regulars on the 40-100bb tables. i've also played many hours during PS low volume times, when there is only 50K-60K people online with 6-8 25NL tables only.

    i've also noticed that the 25NL games have been improved in skill level lately, people are identifying stealing blinds, and starting to 3bet light now. it seems like i cant counter the regs who re-steal my 75 cent raise.

    any suggestion would help

    limp the button more if u want to see a flop so you dont get priced out,play a more trappy style, check raise bluffing might be profitable as it appears stronger than leading out, limp raise with hands like 88 99, to positional raises if you are inearly position. dont bluff too much.take my advice or not i pretty much only play tourneys

    In NL games, its very often described online as the max buyin (or 100bbs). So when blinds are .10/.25, its often referred to as 25NL.
