How many hands have you played at 10 NL? How many hands have you played lifetime? What was your winrate?I want to start playing 25nl . I have payed 10nl for a while and think I feel ready skill wise. Problem is my bankroll is only $380. I know it isn't great for 25nl but is it terrible? Im only playing 2 tables at a time. Was playing 8 at a time at 10nl
It's just some players don't have enough dicispline to drop back ,they think oh i will just grind it out and win it back. But in reality they may have a slight leak still in their game which they need to stop and review all hands played to figure it out.Yea all in clubs if I drop down after 3 or 4 BIs I cant really go wrong. I've about 30000 hands at 10nl 5bb/ 100 hands. Not huge but enough to give it a shot surely?
If you can beat 10NL, beat it for another 12 BIs and the move up. Shouldn't take too long.
I think that is a good idea there.^^ If you can beat a level, why not just get the required BI's to move up like John says, that shouldn't take too long and then at least you are rolled for it and the risk of busto or losing a larger portion of your roll is smaller.
FWIW, i move up when I have 15 buy-ins for 50/100/200nl when I deposit on a new site. Move down at 12 or something like that. 15 buy-ins for 25nl is $375, so if I was OP, I'd move up.
obv. brag post.. guy knows his maths. 15 buy-ins for 25nl is $375, .
I cashout a large part of my bankroll for hookers and blow.
Sure, but, for someone who obviously has the ability to beat that level and the knowledge and confidence to know and believe you can, its easy to say that. it's different to someone taking a shot.
Also @OP how many tables do you play at once on 10NL? You say you're 2 tabling 25nl but if you can 6 table 10NL, seems more profitable to me in terms of a $/hour number.
Finally, in my experience, setting a goal of say 30/50/100 BIs or whatever it is for you to move up AND getting these Ire truly makes me feel like I've achieved something and gives me the confidence to go and crush the next limit (Usually fails). I also think playing less tables and nitting up or changing your game to a lower variance version isn't going to bring solid results. If you make say 30BIs for 25NL then I think you can move up more confidently, play better and win more. Nitting up because you're scared to lose BIs isn't going to help you at all.
It's probably pointless me typing this out, because usually when someone comes and asks if they may move up, it's simply them looking for any reason why they should because they want to. Ask yourself why you want to and what you hope to achieve.
+1 Pure gold that response is!It always surprises me when people ask these questions, as if it is an all or nothing decision.
Play what you can afford, what you are comfortable with, and what is profitable.
Experiment with other things. Other levels, even other games at lower levels.
When you find success with something then commit more to it, and when you find something not working give it up or practice more with less investment.
Experience of playing at higher levels, ability and mental attitude are more important to deciding whether to move up levels than bankroll.
