Moving up to highstakes
 

I was curious to get some advice to people who have made the transition before. I play anywhere from 2-4/5/10 mostly and have good results (over 4 pt BB/100) . How should i adjust to 10/20?

it's a huge difference, the regs are 100x harder, and in general it's a lot tougher to win. I have a feeling that coaching for a few hours should help a ton, but I'm not sure. Just know it will take effort and time and that it is a huge difference.

Beating 2/4 for 4PTBB is such a sinch(?sp). If ur just gonna jump straight into 10/20 you're going to get eaten alive. I'm sure that the 10/20 regs are gonna hate me for telling u this cuz u must have just won the lottery or something to want to try what you're talking about. But they already hate me anyway.

pretty sure krantz is charging alot more than 500/hr these days. doubt ur gonna get a very good coach for under 200/hr tho.

Re: Moving up to highstakes
 

i honestly can't believe people would pay that much to get coached. if you aren't a winning player it seems like it'd be very easy to just go over stats and HH's and figure out what you're doing wrong and fix it.

Re: Moving up to highstakes
 

yep pretty easy

agreed, if people were just a little smarter I think everyone could be a winning player

Re: Moving up to highstakes
 

4PTBB/100 is nothing, what about that makes you think you can move up to high stakes!?!? My entire month not a single day was under 10PTBB/100 at 2/4 and I have not even considered moving up to high stakes.

good luck sustaining that

Re: Moving up to highstakes
 

wow some of this advice is just awful


the difference between 10/20 and lower limits is on 10/20 people are VERY GOOD postflop and its a LOT harder to tilt them. 5/10 is so easy to tilt people and everyone is pretty awful/weak/readable postflop.

Re: Moving up to highstakes
 

lol I didn't mean I won every single day.. when I'm down in a session I take short naps(not full, 8hour sleep) and get up and grind my way back until I'm in the black even if it crosses over 2 days.. so in my mind that's still the same day lol.

Or another way of putting it is, the LAG style of annoying small raises to tilt opponents into making a stand with you on your big hands works well in SSNL and MSNL, but HSNL guys would simply not get involved with you. They are a lot more patient and know what they're doing once the money's in.

i understand what you're saying. what i meant was that i find it hard to believe that people say, "wow i'm just not winning and i can't figure out what i'm doing wrong, i should go hire a poker coach (lol) for 500/hr and get this straightened out". and then, they get coached and they automatically turn into a winning player. maybe it happens more than i think, idk i could easily be wrong. i guess i'm biased cause i've never really had a problem winning consistently and even if i did i wouldn't potentially waste even more money on a coach.

Re: Moving up to highstakes
 

Paying $300-500 an hour for a good coach seems a lot of money, but think of how many $300+ pots you'll be involved in over the next month? How many of them you'll lose? How many you'll misplay? If paying a guy $300 for just one hour will cut down your misplayed big pots by just 1, that's already your money back.

That's why a good, reputable coach whom many players can recommend, is worth the money.

10/20 regulars will make you wanna kill yourself.

9-tabling 2/4 is just something to do while you're watching Seinfeld.

There's your difference.

Datamines with Kyuss's winrates do exist.
