Default Re: I need calming - waiting to move up

Not sure it needs quite that much thought.

Relevant considerations are:

1. Why am I moving up?
Is it for the challenge/ego/status?
or is it for the money.
If its for the money should I not just buy a/some decent monitor/s and add a few more tables to my game.
Factor in reduced win rate bonus/rakeback structure etx. when working out wether you need to move up.
What do you want your hourly earn to be?
anything under 40 usd/hour and you really don't need to move over 2/4.

100 usd per hour and 5/10 makes life easier.


Think about your goals before you fret about your game.


2. IMHO You really don't need that much deep thought to beat 5/10. Just some decent mental heuristics which you can adapt to the site/game texture.
There are some very effective approximations to optimal play, that make decision making much quicker, and simpler.
Find them. drill them, and forget about all that deep study. If its not money your after though, and just like game study, then Chess or Go are excesllent games.
