whats stakes did you play at this bankroll?

#1 9th October 2008, 4:39 AM

I currently have a BR of $650 at pokerstars and still play the .02/.05 NL at pokerstars lol..sometimes the 10NL as well but just wanted some insight on what other players play with that BR..

#2 9th October 2008, 5:32 AM

NL25 but play whatever you're comfortable with.

#3 9th October 2008, 5:39 AM

imo your being a BR nit, if my roll was at 650$ Id be playing 10nl

#4 9th October 2008, 5:58 AM

yeh thought so..I think from here on out Ill be playing 10nl and once I hit around 1000 or above ill take my shot at 25nl ..yes im a wuss

#5 9th October 2008, 6:59 AM

Nah, you're not a wuss... it's much better to play below what your bankroll allows and be comfortable with it rather than moving up just because you can and worrying about losing your money. Playing scared can only hurt your game.

#6 9th October 2008, 8:44 AM

Probably 25NL, at least 10NL while taking shots at 25NL.

Actually I have like a $1000 BR and I'm playing 10NL right now but I'm trying to teach myself how to 24 table without going broke in the process

Yeh thats kind of how i feel though..all the money i earned in 5nl was hard earned and those earnings go twice as fast at 10nl going up or down..

24 tables??? kinda crazy ...when I go past 10 I find it harder when I get all these good hands and sometimes forgetting to raise..

But just took a shot at 10nl and ran pretty bad..shoved with AAs and got called by JJ hitting his set on later street ...and so forth

My bankroll on pokerstars is currently $275 and I am only playing Limit Holdem $3/$6. I enjoy it and feel comfortable there. That would be my suggestion.

650$ Nl10 or Nl25, if you have playe Nl5 then go play Nl10 and if you are comfortable with Nl10, then move up to Nl25. I dont recommand Nl5 to Nl25.

#10 9th October 2008, 4:27 PM

try out the NL10 first, when you feel confortable jump to the NL25.

#11 9th October 2008, 7:52 PM

play at whatever level you are happy with. My rule of thumb for cash games is that i cannot buy in to a table for any more than 10% of my BR, so in your case that would be $65 max buy in.

#12 9th October 2008, 7:57 PM

$650? truthfully, 50nl. My brm sucks though

#13 9th October 2008, 8:02 PM

LOL no for real though I usually have around 70 or 80 bucks and my wife and I play the 3.30 and 4.50 sit and goes we mainly play for fun lets face it those sites aren't in the business of writing checks for all of us big time winners ya know. But hay play where you are comfortable it isn't like playing on line poker is paying your bills.

#14 9th October 2008, 8:08 PM

I'd follow the advice of Chris Ferguson, and don't play anything above 5% of your bankroll.

5% of $650 is $32.50. But as Hillbilly has said.. play with what you're comfortable with. Personally.. I wouldn't go higher than 25NL with that bankroll. I'd probably feel more comfortable at 10NL.

#15 9th October 2008, 8:41 PM

Nl25 is good When I had $650 I was also playing 50nl already But I had no bankrollmanagement and it feels good at that moment When you are not scary for losing some money you can get try higher limits

#16 11th October 2008, 12:18 AM

With a $650 bankroll I feel you should be playing:

15c/30c Ring Games
$20 Sit and Gos
$15 Multi-Table Sit and Gos
$10 Multi-Table Tournaments

#17 11th October 2008, 1:38 AM

You should have at the very least 20 buy ins for cash games, 60 for SnGs and 100 for MTTs. I'm more comfortable with around 40 for cash though, and it's totally fine if you play with even more than that. Play whatever you feel you should be playing, as long as you're not spitting in the face of bankroll management.

dude look up bankroll management like quickly before you go busto. Your not even rolled for .50/1 never mind 3/6. At 3/6 you can lose 72 bucks in a hand, that is a large percentage of your bankroll.

As for op, at your stage i was playing 10nl looking to get 750 before moving up to 25nl

#19 11th October 2008, 2:03 PM

I hate BR Management.

Hence I have no money in my accounts.. Just takes 1 bad day to wipe you out!

It sucks.. but you have to be sensible!

Chris Ferguson has a great article on BR mngmnt at FT---check it out and you could learn to figure it out from there.
