Playing at a new site

[2Tone]

I'll always play at least one rotation at the lowest possible limit just to get a handle on the interface. Agree that with the exception of Pokerroom, everything seems to be pretty standardized these days.

I was more referring to the players and the action on the table. Just joined stars, and I'm getting schooled. I can't hit nadda...pp always run into higher pairs and stuff...this just ain't fun

pokerstars tends to have more rocks or solid players on it than the other sites.

I never had a problem adjusting.
There were always a few minor issues, like for example, I hate how your chat blocks your cards on Absolut, and it took me a little to figure out all the setup options at UB (i.e. fancy, unnecessary stuff like backgrounds etc), but as far as gameplay goes, its not like you need a rocket scientist to figure out how to work the software.

I have trouble adjusting, as well. Just joined Bodog yesterday. Going slow at first.

I find the easiest way for me to get used to new sites is to work my way up all of them. On sites I have been playin on a while I only play 2/4 or 100nl tables for the most part. But whenever I join a new site, I make it a point to play 1000 hands at every level from .05/.10 up to 2/4 or 3/6. It just helps me get a feel for the site, the players, the game pace, and generally when I get upto the higher amounts, my money is long gone and I am playing on theres for the duration.

I also have been known to flunk myself down a step if my stats for the 1000 hands are not where I feel they need to be. Even if I have turned a steady profit, if there is a hole in my game it needs to be plugged period.

Poker is a game of self discipline.
