Playing at a new site

[mrkoontz]

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.
