Forgive me in adavnce for adding to the mountain of BR questions but I'd just like a quick confirmation from you guys that my BRM is correct.

I currently move up to a level once I have 25 buyins for that level - 1 buyin being 100 big blinds.

Sound?

Yup.Although thats quite an aggressive BRM plan, most players work on 50 or so, but everyone is different.
As long as your prepared to move back down if you drop to say 20 buy-in's you'll be safe as houses with that.

BRM isn't really about when you should move up. It's primarily about when you should move down.

Also, 25 is no magic number. What stakes do you play? How many tables? What is your winrate and over how many hands to you base your winrate estimate?

Thanks Belgo.

I currently just play 2NL and have only just started so have a sample a little over 6000 hands for which I am running at 5BB/100.

At micro stakes you can be more aggressive with your BRM. Because your edge can be bigger and the money is not that important anyway.

What you need to figure out is two numbers: how many buy-ins you need to move up and how many buyings force you to move down. And of course only move up when you feel you have an edge over your current opposition. But for micro stakes, i think something as aggro as 12 (move up)/10 (move down) should be fine. When you get to 200nl, i'd rather go for 40/35.

Thanks Belgo - this has cleared it up for me and I'll adopt an aggressive BRM at the lower stakes...

PS this is my 65th post! I'm free of the 7 a day rule!! I hope!!
