Good idea -- it require disipline though

Could you really play the same at 10/20 and 1/2 though? Or would you be making more calls with medium hands if you have a feeling your opponents weak, being aggressive with drawing hands, seeing flops with a wider range of hands etc ("eh its just 200 bucks")

I know once I moved from my live 1/2 Game (which plays like a 2/4 online) and moved to the 5/5 game (which plays slightly below 5/10 online) it was hard as hell to switch. Occassionally there wouldn't be a 5/5 game goin on when I'd be there and I'd sit and play 1/2... the play is so different and the players are too.

To be perfectly honest, 1/2 and 5/5 are two different games. When things are only 12-17 preflop for example, (about what a standard raise is there) players treat it differently than if it was 30-35 preflop (standard 5/5 raise). Moves work differently, value bets are different etc.

Switching between stakes could require some adaptation.... You up for it?
