Only the first 20 minutes. Then I loaded up to full. Then the boredom of seeing too few hands kicked in and I fired up another table after about an hour of play. Meh..

I am scared though because I kn0ow the average $25/£25 player so well now and I would feel so... uncertain at a higher level.
I can totally relate, but I truly believe that the people and the play aren't *that* different. However, it'll take 2-3 days before you can see this! I think if you can minimize your losses in that time period (which is hard, because you'll be disoriented) you'll soon be feeling right at home again. And since everything doubled, this is a good idea in the long run.

That's my reasoning atleast.. too inexperienced to know if it's accurate, but I go on this for now


~ and I actually already feel too much at home at 20NL now. Had another downswing yesterday night because I got overconfident after I noticed how similar the play was to 10NL, which I could routinely murder.. so suddenly I got over aggro (raise everything) and over floating (called everything down, even OOP, assumed they were bluffing constantly, never wanted to back down, etc). Also the fact that a bunch of people came over and they were all in awe about the money I was making right in front of their eyes, this didn't help calm down my ego either. But it's all good.. in the long run I should do fine lol..


(funny thing, unrelated but whatever.. this girl came over while I was playing and she was looking all nice, so I complimented her and she proudly told me how she had made €10 from a modeling session, and right then I cracked AA and made double that, in the 2 minutes she was there.. that was cool lol)
