just curious how you guys handle moving up a level..

do you tighten up and try to get a feel?

come out with guns blazing?

play your regular game, but just think of it as with higher stakes?

i'm about to move from 25NL to 50NL (i know, no difference) but i'm curious for when i make the leap to 100NL and 200NL)

thanks!

Have patience. Your daily losses (if you have any due to normal variance) of 5 BB may seem like alot in $2/4 ($20) when compared to .50/$1 ($5), but coach yourself and realize that this is just like your normal game, except inflated due to the obvious structure of bets.

That's the biggest psychological hinderance i found. Once that's settled, and you can handle those "swings"<-- in quotes b/c it's not really a swing, but normal variance then you're good to go.

I play tight as a drum until i get a really good feel. As you go up in limits, you'll see for yourself, the skill level does improve.

Again, the variance, which in lower limits, QUANTITATIVELY seems smaller, is QUALITATIVELY the same...
