Default Making the Jump....33 to 55

Ok I think i'm ready.

I've been playing the Party 33's almost exclusively for a long while now and I think i'm ready to take the leap up to the 55's. I've taken several stabs but most of them have been losing sets. Though over the last few days I've played several sets and have been winning much more than my fair share, so I'm starting to get over my jitters and feel comfortable at the table.

I've done a great deal of searching here on the topic as well as asking specific posters and so far as I can tell these are the key differences:

Should be limping w/ all PP's from any position
Should start stealing later (blinds 100-200 or later)
Should steal less often as players are better and will likely call a lot more.
Same tight-passive strategy first couple rounds.


Anything else???



Wish me luck!!!!

have already logged the following this month.

215 $33s
148 $55s

Intend to do the remainder of the month at the $55s. ~500+ more. (Unless I move all the way up to the $109s)

"Difference" as 3 syllables is questionable, Scuba.

Suggestion: "Diff'rence" + one word.

Love,

Hey Scuba, I didn't know you'd made the jump. Congrats, and I hope it continues to go well for you (since I'll hopefully be bugging you for tips in a few months... [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img])

Do you think so? A winning player at $22 will be able to beat the $55s also?

Yeah, me too.

Df, how many $22s do you expect to play before trying the $33s?
