Default 10/20 v 5/10 (complete-whine)

Fixed your subject.

Seriously though, I have very little to add - the other posters here are pretty much right. I experienced the exact same thing as a bunch of 5/10 players moving up. The LAGs ate me alive. First I played weak and got pushed off hands. Then I became a calling station fish and paid them off every time. Then I tried to out-LAG them After the carnage was over, I went back to 5/10 to lick my wounds. I moved up again, this time with much better results (over not many hands). In any case, I feel better about this game now. It's important to maintain emotional control in the face of idiot plays and horrible suckouts that seem to cost a LOT of money. Just keep playing good poker and the money will come your way eventually.

Also, game selection is key - there are LOTS of multi-tabling TAGs infesting the tables at all times of the day - HUSH, I'm looking at you. . .
