Post Higher stakes , Less Fish ?

I'm curious to know from players who generally play the higher stakes if this is the case ?
I usually play in the low stakes games and occassionally i can do OK, but I have noticed it is not until I venture into a higher buy in, I realise just how big a Fish I can be!

Would it be too risky to set my budget for higher stake games (Within my budget of course ) to improve my game and learn more. ?

You haven't said what games you play and at which level.

To move up the levels to learn a "better" game or to improve is normally a bad idea. It is essential to master the level you play now. If you have totally control of that and your bankroll can afford to move up, you can mix the games. But it is important that you always could cover your losses with your lower level and your bread and butter game.

To improve the game it could be sometimes usefull to step back one or two level because there you have an other feeling for the money and the losses.

yea i just started playing the 5$ sitngos not 2 long ago as i started allmy bankrolls from freerolls. ( got a lil money about 30$ in 5 sites from freeroll). I played the lowest sit n gos and i can prob say i masterd it as the only time id lose is on a bad beat to a unreal river so i moved up and lost my first couple of games. recently i just won 1 tho and i must say i feel more comfortable at this level because of the rewards.

I don't think that donkeys and fish disappear after a certain level. I saw lots of donkey calls today... and not at low stake tables.

At every stakes, you will find fish.

A solid winning player at NL400$ will be a pretty nice fish at NL2000$ if he never played this game. The game change when you're going up of course.

Everything under NL50$ is about the same, mostly bad players and good beginners that will burn these levels pretty fast and move to higher limits.

After, NL100$ and 200$ are about the same, maybe i little bit more agressive at 200$ but there is still plenty of fish with stat like 40/10/1 for short-handed play.

Above, you have to be ready for agression. It's a shark's world and they want to eat right into your plate. Steal and resteal are a big part of the game. The swing are bigger also. But they think over there... think of what you have, what you think they have, they try to represent exactly what you think some time to make you make big mystakes. and they even think of what you think they think you have... They are really playing poker, but the nice think is that they spot pretty fast a bad player and thye play ABC poker against him... The poor guy never know what hit him before it's to late... He sees big bluff, all-in bluuf being called by top pair but when he call a big bet, they always have to goods.

But you would not beleive some fish that called all-in preflop bet for 5000$ with some garbage like T7s... they were suited like they say...

So every stake has his big fishes, they just have less and less when you go up. The nice thing is that since the rake is minimum over there compare to the bets, a very good % of the player are winners, because they only need some big whale to leave some 20K$ and they mostly split it between them self because they are about the same caliber.

Good post yanman. It is definately true that "fish" exist at every level.

My advice would be to play at the 10cent/20cent rooms and the $5 sngs until you have doubled your bankroll. Then move up accordingly.

I only play sngs with 5% or less of my bankroll, so for example with a $2000 bankroll I am playing $100 sng MAXIMUM! I usually play with less than 5% because I play so many at a time that if I did play with 5% I would only be able to play 20 sngs and that would be my whole roll.

GL and let us know how you do!
