Re: How do you acclimate to moving up? (lc)
I worked one 200 table into my normal rotation. I probably played tighter (not by design) as I got comfortable with the bet sizes. After about 2k hands I was 'weaned' off of 100 and just played the 200's. The key is to have a sufficient bankroll so that losing a buy-in or two right off doesn't cripple you or cause you to drastically alter your play.
Grunch's method of taking a shot is good. You set aside a portion of your roll to play at a higher level. If you hit a burner you can move up permanently. If not, you get a feel for the game without any real pressure since you have limited your losses up front.
