Making the transition to 10/20
I'm looking for any tips people might have for making the transition to 10/20.
1. In general, does the increased agression mean that i should be going to showdown more or less? I do realize that good reads here become more important.
2. Are my opponents going to be more varied in playstyle? I have played a bit at a small site, which has mostly casino traffic. I found that players seemed to play either quite lagish (30/20 style) or very weak tight.
3. Should i be attempting to steal more or less vs. typical opponents? I assume people defend the BB more. Is this offset by slightly higher steal sucess because better players fold the SB more?
4. Should i be defending the SB and BB more or less than in 5/10? I was thinking the slightly better odds i get are somewhat offset by the skill of the players making use of their position on me.
5. Will my opponents be more or less likely to fold to check-raises, stop and go, etc? What level are most of these guys thinking on?
6. Is variance bigger or smaller at 10/20? I was quite comfortable (and successfull) making the jump from 3/6 to 5/10 with only 300 BB. Should i be looking to start 10/20 with a significantly bigger bank roll?
