Default Re: The 3rd Shot at 10/20 is a charm... but not

krishan,

I have 21,000 at 5/10 6max, and also 3000 hands at 1/2 6max and 7000 at 3/6 6max.

My numbers all around are all generally the same as well.

I don't think this is a sufficient number of hands to be able to assess your winrate or ability at these games. Do you think the move up may have been premature? Not saying it was, just wondering if you think you need some more time to ascertain your true winrate and ability over a longer period and number of hands. Do you have an extended amount of live game experience?

Yes, I agree that I have not played very many hands. I also do not have any live experience, except the occasional home games with friends, but all they want to play is No Limit.

Well I played about 170,000 hands of 5/10 before moving up to 10/20. And I still think there were more things I could learn at 5/10 even when I left. So one piece of advice would be to play another 150,000 hands and then you'll be ready. Now I don't actually recommend this. But you should know that not everyone moves up quickly. One benifit is I had a 2K+ bet roll when I moved up.

Secondly, you probably don't have quite as intimate an understanding of variance as more experienced players. 20K hands is basically a microscopic fleck of sand on a microscope in the sahara (I'm exaggerating for effect here). I don't think it's possible to know if you are even a winner at 5/10 much less if you are ready to move to 10/20.

Again, you are right that I have played a very small number of hands. I should probably play more before moving up, as there are probably quite a few things I could/should master before moving up, and to be sure I am a winner.

I would agree, this is clear now given all the info. Spend some time at 5/10 and keep in mind there is no rush, poker isn't going anywhere.

How many hands do y'all recommend playing at 5/10 before moving up to 10/20? Is 500 bets a recommended BR or 1000 for the 10 game?
