    I'm guessing a mixture of 25/50/100NL?

    Probably drop a few tables from the normal amount so your concentration isn't overloaded. Also if you tile try ordering the tables so lowest stakes are on the left and highest on the right.

    What's the actual problem? Is it just bet sizing or more psychological?

    really simple things like confusing a 4x open with a limp when i'm 400bb on a 25nl ante table but know i have position on fish on some 100nl tables. I've been lazy with how i lay the tables out, seems as though consensus is that i should work on layout by stakes and stop moaning! cheers all

    Order the tables by stake. Makes life much easier. I struggled with caring less on the lower stake tables which led to decisions that didn't max ev.

    it's all big blinds. and the sooner you realize this the easier it will become. obviously losing a deep pot on the highest stake will suck more esp if there's a large discrepancy between stakes but gotta try and deal with it.

    ja, i'm trying to become fine with this. Realised it a few years ago, but it ain't always easy. I'm pretty much fine with losing pots cos bankroll management etc. good post, cheers
    I'd love a mod that would simply state stack sizes at all tables in bbs, cos the main problem i've been having is mis-reading how deep i am (in bb) at a table
