I agree. When I moved to 5/10, it was a disaster. I moved to 10/20 and have been consistently winning.

I'm sure this has been asked before, but my search effort yielded nothing. I moved up to 3/6 about a week ago, have absolutely destroyed it (run of good luck) and now have the required roll to go to 5/10. Comments on differences in play between it and what I'm likely used to? Or should I stay and get more hands in at 3/6? Sorry don't have more posts, enjoy reading more than posting.

learn to play short handed. in aggressive games you need to play well from the blinds, and also many pots are HU or 3-ways. SH will teach you this. hopefully.

5/10 is less weak tight, more aggresive, and has much more variance. A lot more multitabling TAGs/rocks. There are a few weak spots but there are better games out there

Just move to 30-60, you will lose your BR faster that way, save you some time.

Serioulsy, play a decent amount of hands at 3-6. Just cause you played 1 week = 10,000 hands doesn't mean anything. I've been break even over 15,000 hands at 2-4 and I'm a long term winner. Don't move till 5-10 until you can handle the huge swings.

Other end of the spectrum I was doing well at 5/10 and moveded down to 3/6 as people were saying how bad the players were. One bad week of bad beat after bad beat and I may have to move back up to build my bankroll [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] Man the chasing that goes on in 3/6 blew me away.

Aye, gotta hate the chasers. Every once in a while i have to play a few orbits at 30/60 to rebuild after the endless bad beats given by the chasers.
Luckily people respect my bets and raises at the higher limits so winning there is not a problem.
