I was trying to illustrate here that I didn't yet understand that no level is actually "cursed." I was actually in the same mindset as the SS Reg at the start of the story (the mindset that many players have) that whatever level you are "comfortable with" has to be the most profitable on the site.
"During this stretch, I occasionally played $5/$10 NL, but could not beat the level as I just ran terrible all the time. (I can tell you the real reasons you "run terrible all the time" at one level higher than your main game.) Anyways, it was pretty clear to me...$3/$6 NL was the most profitable level to play. Anyone playing $5/$10 NL was an idiot. There was no value there."
Yes, I did sort of skip $5/$10 NL. When PS introduced the 50BB tables they were so good, I learned everything there is to know about 40BB and 50BB stack play and started playing $10/$20NL with a $1k buy in (which I was much more comfortable with than a $2k buy in.) From there I got used to the amounts and more comfortable playing a little deeper until I became real comfortable playing with (and losing) $2k stacks.
So $5/$10 did sort of get "skipped" but it was more bc of the circumstances that unfolded...def not bc it was "cursed" in any way.
