Re: Advice to people stuck @ the small stakes too long
 

The stakes don't matter that much because I am not playing the higher games as my primary game. Let's say someone has 400bb's and play 3/6 regularly and is a winner. He logs on one day and see a 10/20 game thats play like .5/1 I would jump in with whatever I'm comfortable with losing as long as the game is good. If I go up 4bb and the fish leaves then I'm done with the game. That's what I'm talking about. If you play poker as your sole income the advice may not be a good idea, I agree. I don't "take shots". I don't sit in a game wondering if I can beat it or not. If I'm playing I'm sure I'm a winner. It seems to me the consesus here is to have a super nitty bankroll, always play in a so-so game, then become a gambling retard and try to luckbox a higher game you're unskilled enough to play, hoping that if youg et lucky your skill will catch up with you before ev does. I'm not even close to the best guy in the SS skillwise forums, but my results are probably close to it.I focus on what matters and don't sweat the small stuff.

too many things scare you, imo.

Poker is a very odd hobby for just that reason.

Yeah, meep, I've got you with solid stats in my PT as well... to quote Rob Schneider's idiot character in Waterboy, "Youuuu can doooo it!"

Solid stats != solid play. [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]
But, if the players at 5/10 6m is as bad as 3/6, i'll probably give it a go.

in my short 3k stay so far, the games have played pretty similar, 5/10 is more aggressive
