I keep winding up at PLHE tables on Stars...

Has anyone noticed a significant difference in their win rates between PL and NL? At $50 BI and below? My NL is WAY better but I only have a couple hundred hands...

HELP!?

Trying to figure out if it makes much difference or should I just stick w/ NL.

I don't like PL because you never have the option to shove when you have the best of it and think there is a good chance you'll get a call. Situations where you have 44 flop QQ4 2 hearts and maybe you get an AQ or flush draw hit on the turn that you can stack. Those are the money makers. :D

For the most part the play should be similar, maybe you get more chasers at pl than nl. But you can do a pretty standard 3bb raise and 3bet to 9bb if someone else raises. You cant 4bet shove so there is some lost fold equity. I think shoving when you have a full house on a draw heavy board is not a good reason to stay away from pl, honestly shoving with a fullhouse with potential draws seems awful and you should be soaking people for value not forcing draws to fold when they may have otherwise called.
