Playing at a new site

Does anyone else find it difficult adjusting to a new site? It seems to take me a while before I can get adjusted at a new site...does anyone else have a similar problem?

Only PokerRoom. All the graphics and the fact that the avatars stay the same as people come and go really gave me a hard time when I first started there. I also think it was/is more of an issue because the colors of the backgrounds, "name boxes", and text are all similar, so if the avatar doesn't change and the text saying its a different person doesn't jump out at you, you are playing someone else on your previous read of another player. Never a good idea.

Just takes some getting used to. Maybe i'll get some sticky notes out and write names on them

What site are you asking about? Do you have issues with one?

I'll always play at least one rotation at the lowest possible limit just to get a handle on the interface. Agree that with the exception of Pokerroom, everything seems to be pretty standardized these days.

I was more referring to the players and the action on the table. Just joined stars, and I'm getting schooled. I can't hit nadda...pp always run into higher pairs and stuff...this just ain't fun

pokerstars tends to have more rocks or solid players on it than the other sites.

if you play the tables a lot - colour code the players, this might help you as if the player is coded one minute and then not coded the next theyve obviously changed

they also let you add notes

I don't know, I'll see if I can make adjustments to my game. The play on these tables are lot harder than on say pacific poker. We'll see what happens, I just want to clear the bonus...better not bust out before then ><

Changed my game, doing a lot better tonight. Won back half my losses from yesterday, but can't really complain. I guess last night I was just paying for tuition.
