Writing it down it seems counter intuative (only getting called by what beats you), however i've seen it numerous times when watching the high stakes tables on PS (probably some weird meta game i don't understand). |

There are people that play bad at pretty much all stakes. The higher you go, though, the more good players there are for every bad player. That's bad for you. Plus don't forget that you want people to play bad. |

| no, you won't. you had a winning session, which anyone can have at any stakes. Poker is a game of small edges that bear profit over the long run; if you're playing NL10, regs at NL50+ are going to have exponential experience/knowledge/edges on you in the long run. |

Plus if you came back after a reasonable sample and told us it worked, that would be a first. At the end of the day though, it's your money and you can do what you like with it. |

| NL10 online = NL200 live. A winning NL50 reg online is going to be better than like 99% of NL200 live players; he/she may have some issues with tells and adjusting ranges for a vastly different player pool, but that reg is going to be just vastly superior in terms of experience (pretty normal for a 21-year-old online pro to have played more hands lifetime than a 60-year-old live pro) and in understanding ranges, manipulating ranges, understanding GTO, etc. Anyway, the issue is not live vs. online; if you're rolled for $1-$2 live I'd say go for it, it'll probably be good for your game and your bankroll. If you start playing $1-$2 online you will get destroyed. I've actually come up with a theory as to why stories such as yours are so common (probably more than is statistically likely). When someone takes a shot at higher stakes, regs often profile the newcomer as a composite reg without reads. Along with that come certain assumptions; i.e. that you will be properly balanced in certain spots when in fact, you are totally depolarized in most spots. This can end up in a higher-stakes reg paying you off or bluffing when you pretty much always have it whereas a lower-stakes player will just give up. Anyway, good luck and keep us posted. |

| yes thats tru and i have read over and over not to do that for 2-4 years i played 1 n 2 - 10 n 25 cent stakes never went past that this thread was just me wanting 2 know the difference in the stakes but there has been time 2 time thoughts of moving to higher stakes thoughts like would they have called in higher stakes and a few other thoughts about higher stakes as well i dont think higher fixed limit will do but my nl skill maybe good enough for higher stakes but if i do happen try out higher stakes it will be at 50 cent 1 dollar blinds 1st then go from there not saying im going to go up in the stakes still knowledge what kind of better knowledge would they have also what kind of better edges NL10 online = NL200 live huh didnt know that by the way what is nl10 and nl200 will do |

| in general as you move up you will encounter players who are better at exploiting you because they understand your game pretty well after a few observed showdowns and a few hundred hands of stats. They will likewise be harder to exploit. better players: 1. are more aggressive 2. know how/when to properly balance and merge their ranges. 3. know when to unbalance/depolarize to exploit a particular villain 4. are better hand readers 5. value-bet thinner 6. bet-fold instead of check-calling among other things |

| I've been re-reading "Let There be Range" lately and one of the key parts of the book is posing simple questions and force you to really assess such things. It'd be helpful to post a sticky next to your monitor to keep track of some of these: 1. How often do you check-raise shove the river vs. someone who has double-/triple-barreled you? How often have you done this without the nuts? How often do you have total air? 2. Similar to 1. What's your range for flatting 3-bets out of position vs. someone who clearly 3-bets a wide and polarized range? How often do you call a BTN raise from the BB and check-raise the flop? What is your C-R range there? 3. Against some villains (and probably most at micros) you don't need to balance because they aren't paying attention. You can value-bet them to death and just fold when they raise you. Against level 1 thinkers you can just play your hand vs. his range exploitably without regard for balance because he's not adjusting. 4. ok 5. How often do you flop TPTK or overpair in position, bet flop and either check-back turn or river because you're afraid he's tarping? How often do you value-bet the river with 2nd pair/3rd pair vs. an obviously weak range? 6. pretty self-explanatory. B/f >>>>> c/c in like 90% of river situations where you've been the aggressor. |
