Taking shots at higher level, within BRM

I had $8 of freeroll winnings at a small site, have ground it up to $100 playing 2nl 6max and 9max in the last month or so. There is no 2c/5c level, the next level being 5c/10c, when should I start taking shots at 10NL?
Im thinking $110, 50 buy-ins at 2Nl, and one buy-in for 10NL.
btw, a few of the losing regs at 2NL also play the 10NL, so it should be a good jump, right?
your thoughts please.

thanks for the response.................................

I think you better add a table or 2 playing at your current lvl. It is a far distance from 2NL to 10NL and with only 11buy-ins, some bad beats at the beginning and you are where you started. What is the big deal to w8 another mounth adding a table or 2?
I would never dare to jump a lvl without 50 buy-ins . The reason is that i do not want to play with fear. Playing verry tight to conserve your bankroll against bad beats is just a way to get trapped because you become predictible. 10NL is full of semi-pros winning a decent amount every mounth and you will have a hard time to adjust witch will deplete your bankroll quick.
If you are thinking just taking a shot at 10 NL(if that is what you really ment with 1 buy-in ) with 10 dollars is just trying to get lucky . You do not even have the time to adjust to one table. And than what? W8 untill you win another buy-in for 10 NL? There will be other players at the table and you will run in circle.

move it to a site with a 5nl level???

I see your reasoning, but I was thinking if I take a shot at 10nl, as long as I dont dip below $100 Im fine. Ive been taking a lot of notes on the 10nl regs, and a lot of them are losing players at both 10nl and 2nl, so id only play when I saw them at the table. Thers only ever 4 tables open at this site of 2nl, so opening more isnt an option.
tried to withdraw my roll, its taken 3 weeks and counting for a Neteller WD, so thats not an option lol at the moment.

Are you playing on BetSharks?

I think the minimum buy ins should be 20 so you should have $200 for 10NL. Having only 10 doesnt leave you alot of room for varience..its all too easy to have a unlucky streak and be down 6 buy ins. Fish cracking your sets with runner runner straights, AA being cracked by KK etc. It can all go against you like this for several sessions in a row.

Personally I like to have 30BIs before moving up.

But it sounds like you've already convinced yourself to go ahead with 10 BIs so gl.

Taking a small shot is no harm, as long as your not prone to tilt off your 10 buyins. Sometimes just taking a 2BI shot can work well, as long as your prepared to put on the brakes if you lose it.

I guess there is no problem in taking a shot at NL 10, as long as you will strictly keep your BRM if you loose this one shot.
So if you looes and fall below $100, just play again NL2 as long as you reach again $110 for a second shot at NL10.
Don´t try to win back the moeny at NL10

nah...........
see, I would 3 table 2nl, and 1 table 10nl, if i busted, so be it. Im used to beats.
yeah thats the way I see it TB, with $110 I can afford to take a one shot at 10nl, if I lose it I just grind 2nl back up. thanks

thats exactly the plan, thanks.

In small rooms you have no choice but to play different stakes because of a lack of tables..which is annoying imo. I was forced to do so on Carbon and I guess if your american you dont have much choice in the matter. If you start off just one table of 10NL you wont need such a big cushion.

Im not sure what the best network is for americans now in terms of traffic for cash games. I was playing on Carbon March-June and it was very frustrating not being able to table select.

ah Im Uk, pretty much go anywhere!

No idea about cash games man, still GL.

Last time i think read about you was when we both were figthing to get our money out of Fulltilt via Neteller (after BF before they shutdown).

Hope your money don´t get stuck there??

yeah Logan, still got money tied up at FT, thats why Im grinding this money lol.
One day we'll get our money off FT.................

That suck man, i do have the luck to get my money out from there and jump from the ship before sink.

Playing now in Stars with tinny roll ($60) but better than nothing.

Why not go to play there?. I can ship you $10 there if you want, not much but can´t do more now. Is a pain to be playing in those crappy sites.

Still gl in the grinding, hopely Fulltilt update give you good news.

Sorry for derail your topic

yeah Logan I stupidly thought my money would be alright at FT, my fault.
thanks so much for offer, thats good of you, but I have like $20 at PS, might start grinding 2nl with that, although I love playing this other site, 200 player pool at 2nl, and only 20 competent regs, so lots of fishes.
cheers bud.
