Re: Preparing for the $10/$20
I'm kinda in the transition- closer to staying with 10/20 (unless i get a massive beatdown in the near future).
I've been jumping back and forth for several months and I think 5/10 and 10/20 are much differant. 5/10 is a striaht forward ABC poker game. 10/20 is much trickier
Much much more aggression on all streets, especially preflop. In 5.10 your able to see quite a few showdowns for free, I find this very rare in 10/20 games, i.e. its very rare in 5/10 to have to make a decision to call down with high card.
I think the major increase in aggression also leads to high variance-make sure your BR is big enough or your mental game is solid.
it also seems as though there are more "pro wannabes" making plays when they shouldn't which pays you off.
i must say 10/20 is lots fun though. After playing 5/10 for so long,i stopped feeling the the thrill like when I played .5/1 and moved up to 1/2. I lost 100 dollars and was freaked out [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
gl with the move!
