Calling Stations and Moving Up

Have moved up to 200NL on pokerstars. Doesn't seem to be a huge difference in these games and in fact they are very similar to the 100NL games at full tilt. Table and seat selection is going to be the key.

I have noticed when moving up a level I always seem to play a little too aggressive for the first few sessions. I think this is because I am trying to prove to my opponents that I belong at this level and am not 'playing scared'.

This is not too much of a problem (better than playing too passive) but the fact is my opponents will mostly be unaware that I am new to the level. I will just be another unknown, my play will be taken at face value, and when I make a spewy 3 barrell bluff into a calling station, they will label me as an over aggressive donk!

Note to self:

A calling station don't fold QQ at whatever level, whatever the board and repping a monster with effectively air is therefore -EV!

The crucial thing here is to learn is to make adjustments and use this image to my advantage. My opponents are now much more likely to be paying attention.
