Don't know what it is but can't seem to move up on ACR. Been doing very well in .55 to 3.30 tourneys, but when I try 5.50 and up I just can't do anything. I get beat when I'm ahead and beat when I'm behind in spots all the time. I don't feel like I'm playing worse when I try higher buy ins and the player pools in the medium stakes don't seem that much tougher from what I've observed. Is there any advice I can get on how to transition up in stakes? Like mindset changes, or strategy changes I should make? Appreciate any help guys.

I would say that there is no difference between $1 and $5 tournaments. Everywhere they play the same way. The main thing is to play right! That's the most important thing. It's more important than winning.

At ACR , I tried the 0.50$ on demand , but I was losing to crazy shoves.calls .
I am trying the 1$ tournaments but I haven't success , they call with everything
. I play 1$ or more like 2$ or 5$ maximum when there are nice offers/series of tournaments running with greater than 1k$ prizes , but always I face these loose calls , reshoves , crackes Aces to sets , my AK shoves lose to ATC etc etc .
I want to see when I will be able to play like them , give the bad beats to the others and start having some profits/wins at these stakes , and not play freerolls or 0.10$ tourneys all the time expanding , unfortunatelly very slowly , my bankroll .
I can play the 1$ tournaments with my bankroll nowadays , but I do it not often and when the prize is nice , until I become a better player for sure :) No meaning playing them if I lose constantly , right ?

Everyone should play the games he is good at , all the others can wait until he has watched enough of these games and has taken many notes and learned new tricks or moves , better shove/fold hand startegy , etc :)
