Default Re: another stupid moving up post

[ QUOTE ]
I've said it many times before, and I'll say it again: the move up from 2/4 to 3/6 is the toughest one you'll face as a small/medium stakes limit hold'em player. The games are much more aggressive, you will find yourself in far more short-handed situations on the flop, and the aggresion you face will be much more focused (in other words, the bluffs will actually be believeable fairly often).

Harv, nice post. This was pretty much my experience exactly. I took shots at the 3/6 game and seemed be a breakeven player for a while, but once I caught on moving up to other levels (3/6 -> 5/10 -> 3/6 6max -> 5/10 6max -> 10/20) really didn't seem too bad at all. Of course I would also recommend running well, it is the choicest way to move up limits. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Also, to the OP, I definetly waited till I had between 300 and 400BB for a level before I took a shot and had a plan set up to move back down if I hit rocky waters.
