3/6 to 10/20 NL

[JDMcNugent7]

I was gettin bored and frustrated playing 3/6. I was having a bad week of it - Lot of 2nd best hands.

Anyway I decided I can gamble a bit, and moved up to 10/20 NL for the first time in awhile tonight...

Playing 3/6 for so long and then going back to the game I used to play almost exclusively was very weird. I was actually nervous - never before playing 10/20 NL was I nervous at all - this time I admit my hands were shaking ... I was very surprised. I guess I really learned the value of money after grinding 2/4 and 3/6 for so long.

Anyway I also noticed just how much better the players at 10/20 were. At 3/6 if I had strong drawing hands it seemed I could manipulate my opponents into letting me bet and check when I wanted, getting it all in only when I actually hit my draw... at 10/20 the many big bets into me and Check Raises forced me to push my stack all in twice with Big draws. Both times I (luckily) hit.

I also made a dumbass play I know I wouldn't have made playing 3/6... pushing all in on a total bluff... and getting called. Playing limits ur not completely comfortable with forces you to do some dumb things.

Anyway I luckily made a quick 2k and decided to run with it before I did anything dumb again... tonight I really noticed just how much better the 10/20 players are than 3/6 and I don't plan on going back anytime too soon.
