Re: What\'s 5/10 like?
[ QUOTE ]
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. [/ QUOTE ] 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.

[ QUOTE ] It can seem like it is raised PF 80% of the time, but about 60% is more accurate. [/ QUOTE ] Hmmm, my numbers show someting like 9. How can you always find the tables full of maniacs? [/ QUOTE ] Not average PFR per player. He's saying *someone* at the table raises pre-flop 60% of the time.

[ QUOTE ] As you progress in limits the game gets more difficult. Always. No exceptions. [/ QUOTE ] Ummm, wrong. [/ QUOTE ] I agree. I couldnt believe that 1/2 was harder than 2/4 when I made the step up from .5/1 - online. And even in live play I could not believe that I found tighter and better players at 4/8 than 10/20. It could be a general rule that you find better players as you move up in limits, but there will always be bad players at all limits, which would tend to make some games easier than others.

Re: What\'s 5/10 like?
I guess the OP can really thank you for the sarcastic response then.
I disagree with you. Its not always the case that a higher limit will be harder than a lower limit, it "just depends." For instance the 1/2 on Party. the 6 max games were easier to beat than the full games, only due to finding more maniacs at the 6 max games. I dont know what its like now since I havent played online a long time, but I do recall several months ago I had a harder time at 1/2 full than I did at 2/4 full. 1/2 was full of rocks and tigher players than 2/4 was.

[/ QUOTE ] 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

[/ QUOTE ] 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.

Re: What\'s 5/10 like?
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.

[/ QUOTE ] 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.
