Hello Guys, I am playing 5NL in pokerstars and I am finding it quite hard to get a good win rate because every1 is playing soooooo tight! at least the tables I play in... I had like 4 pockets aces and 3 pocket kings in the last session and none of them went to the flop... its ridicolous....

did u guys have the same problem at 5NL?

and how can I fight this problem?? open up more pots??

no, dont open up more pots. open up more tables and also widen your range as you approach the button. dont be waiting for AA and KK cause that kind of playing style is easily exploitable and usually doesnt get paid off because everyone realises that your a nit and nits only raise with the nuts so your probably not going to get alot of action.

When you play more tables,it prevents you from getting bored and committing yourself to pots that u missed.

but I am not playing that tight, I open quite wide from late position, I dont think my opponents think I am a nit, they are simply really tight

Are you asking why are people so tight at 5NL cause in all honesty they arent tight at all.
