I've been thinking a bit about this lately, since I've been thinking of making a vid along these lines.
Really, you shouldnt need to make any adjustment at all, since you should be playing the $11s exactly the same as the $5.50s. Unfortunately, due to the level of play at the $5.50s, most people can get away with playing sub-optimally and still do well at them.
Most people who struggle (I think) either:
- Are too loose early/mid. Because at the $5.50s people are SO loose, you get away with being looser than you should yourself.
- Arent pushing wide enough when short. Especially in the SB, most people dont understand how wide we can make good ICM pushes and miss out on good pushes which would get us more chips.
Of course, sometimes its just variance.
Often though (and this is why I advocate posting tourneys for review rather than specific hands or general questions), its not the hand that knocked us out thats the problem, its play that you may not even realise was sub-optimal yourself that cost you chips that put you into the situation where you got knocked out.
