When should I move up to 10nl?

#1 4th December 2009, 2:35 AM

Hey guys, right now my current BR is at about $210 or 21 BIs into 10nl, which according to BRM says I can move up to 10nl. I don't really plan on moving up to 10nl since I don't feel ready but i'd kind of like everyone's opinion on how i'm doing and if i might be ok at 10nl. Check the graphs:

Here's my over-all graph from 2nl-5nl:

Here's my swingy 5nl graph:

I don't know if you guys care but here's my EV graph for 5nl:

You're input would be greatly appreciated

It's hard to give great input based solely on a graph, but if I had to I would say just move on up, and give it a try. I don't think moving up or down has to be this concrete thing. Open up a few 10nl tables, give it a try and see how it feels.

13BB/100 is pretty sick, so you'll likely be just fine.

I probably shouldve included my stats for 5nl too: 19/11/2.6

You'll be fine I think.

Suggestion - whatever number of tables you currently play (if it's more than 1), cut that value in half (so if you're 6 tabling now, play 2 or 3 tables). Set aside $30 or $40. Play this number of tables as best you can, paying as much attention as possible to each player at the table and picking out who you can pick on, until you either lose what you set aside (if you lose it, drop back down to $5nl) or until you increase it by 50-100%. Once you've met your goal, go back to your normal number of tables.

As you move up, esp when you get to 25nl, you'll def want to decrease the gap between your VPIP and PFR... If your VPIP is 19, you generally want to see your PFR somewhere around 15-17.

Oh yeah, good luck when you decide to give it a go - though like I say, I don't think you'll need it...

I just got back to playing cash games after spending a lot of time at the SnG's. I had been microing it up at the .02/.05 tables and just made the big jump to the .05/.10's. I like it better and ame making a little profit. I figure the play isn't much different from the opponents (still have donks, chasers, hyperaggressive bullys, etc), but the main thing is your comfort level so you are still playing your game. G/L

I found it hard to move up since I got used to 5NL/2NL. I think I'm doing OK now compared to how I started (massive SWINGS, 5 buyin swings with tilt ). Reading players is key cause I find 10NL players to be either really aggressive or really nitty. Don't get invovle with too many hands when you just sat down at a table, make sure you have a brief knowledge on how these players play before you get into a pot with them.

nice graph, yeah give it a try u always can go back

How many Tables you play normally????

#10 5th December 2009, 1:24 AM

i normally only play about 2 or 3 at a time

Heck yeah man, go for it! You'll be fine, I think. Looks like you're beating 5nl so if you lose a couple buy ins at the next level, you can always drop back down and win enough to take another shot. Good luck!

I think the amount of hands is enough and you should just give it a go, play 2 tables like sly said and try and play your best, you'll get comfortable in no time.
