| Pro vs Donk/Fish/Newbie/... debate Looking @ Ferguson's most recent chart, and even in the text of FT's statement, it shows and mentions how it took CF several weeks to get to just the $7 mark. But then if you look at August (ish) of 2007, once he was in decent money he was able to grow his BR pretty quickly. Could this not (sort of) help to show that it might actually be harder to make $$ at the lower levels than the higher levels? |

But through the grinding stages you gain so much knowledge about poker and learned the 3 most important aspects(IMO) of poker and that is patience, discipline and proper BRM. And with this knowledge and BRM you will increase your BR faster at the higher levels due to less suckouts as the level of play becomes more experienced.

| Very true To be patient is what it's all about. One can have a gazillion hands delt to them, but waiting on the right ones is the pay off and that is where the BR starts building even on the smaller tables. Quote:

| re: Pro vs Donk/Fish/Newbie/... debate poker Kinda-maybe-sorta but not really? What you'd actually need to look at is his win rate / ROI figures at each level. The overall graph will make it seem like it's harder to win at lower levels because, in absolute terms, you win less money at those levels for the time invested. ROI and win rates for the individual levels will tell the real story. |

It's also easier to lose $500 in a $25-$50 cash game as opposed to $1 SnGs, which is why I'm suggesting that ROI is actually the figure you should be interested in. |

BRM is the toughest part. Those few sheckles are always burning a hole in the pocket and I have to keep those crazy impulses in check. Most will take their 50c winnings and run off to a micro table and donk it off. A little tougher on FT with the higher buy-ins, so I'm just keeping to the grind. Good luck to the rest of you with a foot on the ladder ... |

I don't expect I'll ever reach the $10,000 level, but if you stay within whatever levels you CAN perform well in, a constant improvement in BR should be possible. It will take me longer, but it's all - one step at a time. I think where the big difference comes in for most is that first larger MTT win. I struggle in NLHE MTT's, but can make it ITM often enough not to lose that meager BR. My own path will certainly be slower mainly because I try to stick to limit games, an area I know well and am comfortable with. I'd love to play on a table with Chris (or another pro) one day, but it would be just for the sheer enjoyment of it, understanding I would be a likely candidate to get my bottom spanked ...

It is out of that assumption I found out that since I have less variance, I can have a smaller bankroll at the higher limits. |
