Re: Adjustment to Mid Stakes
Jeffage has some valid points. How many sessions do you have under your belt? Because live poker is very slow compared to online, it takes many more "sessions" to get an accurate estimate of your winrate. The fact that players are more passive decreases this somewhat, but when you're playing 1/8 the hands, it just takes that much longer.
As for your question about adjustments, it's hard to answer without more information. From your post, I'm sort of guessing that your sample size is too small, and no information can be gained from your drop in winrate. Adjustments vary depending on your play and your opponents' play. If the 10/20 players are raising more preflop, you're going to need to drop some of the limping hands that you'd normally play from EP, and maybe MP. If you're playing too many hands, you need to tighten up. If your opponents are making better laydowns, you need to cut some of the "slim" value bets, as they won't get called by worse hands. This list could go on and on forever. The point is, it's not because, "Oh, I moved up in stakes; I should change my play." What you should be asking is, "How are my opponents different? How should I adjust to these changes?"
