Starting to Feel More Comfortable (12/6/2012)
Thursday, December 6, 2012 at 3:51PM I'm starting to feel more comfortable and at peace with my decision to drop to mid-stakes. I realized again this week how important it is to have a life outside of poker. With mid-stakes you can easily have one. I want to be playing 5 nights a week MAX. Mid-stakes for me is all about putting in consistent hours while not ruining schedule.
The players seem especially awful after coming from high-stakes. There are adjustments to be made, but you can more frequently find tables where there can be one or two spots and no threats whatsoever.
I'm not just doing this to drop the stress in my life mentally and financially. It's important that I crush 2/5. This means expanding and becoming laggier in spots that demand it. I don't plan to attempt stabalization at 5/10 again until my hourly at mid-stakes is killing it over a 500 hour sample size, or my bankroll becomes much bigger. I'm going to have to earn the right to move up again, even more so this time around.
