Last week I asked if I should move up in stakes from $10's, everyone agreed I should, so I have and have been fairly successful. I thought I'd give the $50's a shot with 10 HU sng's and try to win 6/10, but my 1st game already blew my confidence. The game just started, I have a slight chip lead, but too much. I made a risky call but I knew he was full of it, and to my own destruction look what he had, and look what he was gifted with. He had the nerve to go "here fishy fishy". This really blows my confidence especially when this isnt my buyin level, I should and would fold this hand usually in that same situation, but sometimes your gut tells you to call, and you just have to.

Then keep playing!

Good read, go with your instincts moreso than standard play, otherwise you'll never fully become the player you can be.
