Silver Level
I've mostly been a $1/2 and $1/3 live player for the last 2 years. I've been making a lot of improvements to my game, and have been playing in a biggish $1/$2 home game (where everyone is about 200+BB deep).
This weekend I finally played a bunch of $3/5 games as well as a $5/10 game.
I was surprised that the level of play wasn't as tough as I expected. I crushed all of the $3/5 games and came out ahead in the $5/10, as well.
$5/10 made me a bit nervous simply because the bets were so big compared to what I was used to. But I made a lot of good decisions despite the pressure of the bigger bets and trusted my math and gut instincts. I was a bit surprised that that level still had a bunch of donks in there, but there were also a number of serious pros in that game whom I found pretty scary. Those guys could read me really well which was pretty unsettling.
Overall I had a $2700+ weekend which is probably my best single-weekend run. I think I'm mostly gonna stick to $3/5 for now and wait to build up some more bankroll before spending more time in $5/10.
