Silver Level
I was wondering can any of you out there tell me if you think that a person playing on line who is about 30 dollars down at 4NL a pre cursor to them being a bad player when the limits go up. Tell me what you think.
Surely after playing for 2 years, you know that playing 30 minutes of 10NL is totally irrelevant when determining any sort of ability?
I also don't understand when you say about the limits go up? As others have said, beat your current level first.
On topic/off topic question but I see the saying "beat your current level first" a lot obviously and have never thought much of it. When exactly do you know when you are "beating" your current level at a cash game? X/100BB over X # of hands?
Its a good question. IMO:
Anything close to 5BB/100 over at least 50k hands should give you confidence you're beating the level. Even anything in profit after around 50k means you're capable of better results. Anything under 30-40k I would say is pretty meaningless information.
Entirely subjective. For me my current idea of beating a level is maintaining a healthy winrate while playing most everyone without so much as a bat of an eyelid.
I think that we can evaluate a player level only at NL25 and above.
The micro stakes are level less...
His answer might have been subjective but I did ask for more of an exact 100BB win rate over a certain amount of hands- ball parking it. Your post is also subjective stating that beating a level is "maintaining a healthy win rate"- which is?
Very untrue, as a lot of members here will tell you: 5NL, 10NL, 16NL games play tougher than some of the higher levels on any given day.
Variance can still be brutal even with a winrate in the double digits. In my last 100k hands at 2nl in stars I have went on a 13 BI downswing at one point.
I'm still hitting 10.5bb/100 hand 12-tabling
Variance is insane. Go figure
Also, you winning 2 buy ins at 10 in 30 minutes means piss. Any fish with sufficient luck can do that.

well this is just wrong,
Maybe I had that backwards, I think what I read is that lower stakes online play tougher than higher stakes live.
how many 2nl hands have you played?
I still disagree, I can build up a bankroll from 2$ to 200$ in 2 days at NL2, but this never gonna happen at NL50+
