Re: Fear of a bigger game
Excellent post. When I move up in cash games I make sure of a couple things...
1) start with one table
2) absolutely no looking at cashier during play
3) think as much as possible of the money as units of betting...i.e. try and abstract the money if I can. This works well depending on how much you jump up (i.e. from 3/6 to 5/10 this might be easier than from 10/20 to 30/60).
If multitabling helps you avoid tilt then a better method that helps with fear is adding tables at higher limits very slowly. I.e. if you are 4-tabling $50 SNGs start with 3 tables of $50 SNG and 1 table of $100. When you are comfortable with that move to 2 $50 and 2 $100. Keep going until you feel more and more comfortable with the units of betting.
