Post these in the micros

Yeah. The players in Micros will be more knowledgeable on exactly the challenges of moving from .5/1 to 1/2. And we don't want to take good posts away from that forum!

So I'm going to move this.

I ran 4bb/100 over 30k hands at .5/1.

When I moved to 1/2 I started off -2BB for my first 2k hands.

Quite a shock it was after winning for so long and so easily.

Your sample size is terribly small and you will adjust.

If not you move down and work on not being a nut peddler.

I think part of moving up in levels is you're nervous, even if you're bankrolled okay, just because it's for more money, and it's outside of your comfort zone, because you used to be beating the previous level and now you have to start over. I just moved from .5/1 to 1/2 (not on Party though) and there's definitely a difference but it's manageable. Mostly I've started always raising if first in, stopped playing weak suited aces unless a couple other people are in first, stopped coldcalling preflop (either fold or 3bet), and started being a little more aggressive with my pocket pairs and also in general. I know this doesn't really respond to your post but I am trying to make the adjustment too. Anyway. On your hand I feel like you're probably losing to a pair of aces or maybe the flush got there. Either way I'd call it down. Good luck!
