3/6 v. 5/10 6-m

[Maulik]

do these play very differently? I'm more or less ready to take shots and have many things to work on but am considering it.

i understand the jump from 5/10 to 10/20 is similar to the jump in limits as $30 SNGs to $50s. Is it similar or more difficult than the said jump?

From my experience 3/6 and 5/10 play nearly the same. 5/10 has more LAGs though.

From what I hear the move from 5/10 to 10/20 is a biggie.

In general, each individual is different. Some will move up and have a terribly hard time from one level to the next. Others won't have a problem at all. The move from 3/6 to 5/10 is probably a very small jump, you will just have to deal with a few more better players but you still have the same amount of bad players. If your physical bankroll and psychological bankroll are good to go for 5/10, take a shot only you will know if you're ready for the game. There's nothing wrong with taking a shot and dropping back down if you are not ready. Coming from someone who ran 40k breakeven hands at 5/10, the game is not hard at all [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img].

The difference is not that big. The 5/10 tables are even more loose from time to time.

[Ray Of Light]

No difference, just more aggressive at 5/10... and in my experiance, looser too.

Lots of multiway pots with players who love to CC with A3o.

I tend to agree with a lot of this, i just took my first shot at 5/10 (granted I only have about 1000 hands and ive been running hot), in general the TAGs are a little better but the bad players seem to actually be worse than at 3/6. It'll take sometime to adjust but you should be able to figure it out, oh and in the beginning it helps to run good.

[beset7]

be really anal about table selection while you adjust and it'll be easier.
