scariest jump in limit?

As you recall moving up the chain of limits, what limit was the most intimidating the first time you played?


For me it was going from 3-6 to 6-12 and I've played up to 40-80, no limit and pot limit. I don't why 6-12 was so intimidating at the time. maybe cuz it was the biggest game in the house (except for no-limit Pai-Gow). Anyways I was just convinced that all the sharks were waiting for me in the 6-12 game.

Gotta agree with you here, Boris. I think part of the reason was that it occurred early in my playing days, so I didn't realize that the skill level jump wouldn't be that bad. I only knew that I was increasing my risk. By the time I went to higher limits than that, I was more comfortable in a cardroom, and just saw the increase as a natural progression.

Funny thing, though, the few times I played 30-60 (largest jump in limits, size wise) I was unconcerned since this only meant playing with the same people I played 15-30 with.
