Big Stakes, Small Stakes

So I've noticed a disturbing trend lately in my play. Seems like I take the 40/80 game much more seriously than the 20/40. When the stakes get kicked up, I seem to play my A game much more often and correctly. In the 20 game, I seem to be just donking around more and having fun rather than taking the game super serious. I think I need to try and maintain my focus at all times even if I am playing in a smaller game. Anytime you have a months rent or mortgage payment on the table, it's serious money. Last night, I think I played some of the best poker of my life. Plus it didn't hurt that I flopped a ton of sets and had a large share of pocket pairs that held up. Ship the 6 and a half dimes!
