Default Re: Getting over a mental hump

Even when you are well bankrolled, it can still be difficult to think of your buy in as simply a buy in instead of a dollar amount When you are 10 OOTM at the 22s its really the same thing as when you are 10OOTM at the 11s, but it certainly feels different.

I recommend doing as much gophering (popping up and then back down) as you feel is necessary before you settle yourself at the 22s. As long as the money is not as issue for you, then you will probably adjust to playing the 22s soon enough.

OTOH, if you have financial problems, or you are not well bankrolled (I DON'T mean 30x buy ins, which is a massive practical jopke being played on all the SNG grinders) it will be a problem for you to make this transition. If this is the case, grind out a fat roll at the 11s or start bonus whoring cash games with rakebake.

Best of luck,
Snowball
