Playing at a new site

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.

that seems to be a pretty tough way to go about online play. i understand the need to get a feel for the site and the players there, but is it really worth your time to play 1k hands at every level up to 3/6? that seems like overkill to me, but i guess it works for you.

I would definitely start at the bottom level until you feel like you are comfortable with the software, the buttons and have a feel for the deal, and how folks there play. It's a lot better to be patient and move up too slowly than the alternative.
