Depends. How good are you? Are you already comfortably beating any of these stakes? Are you planning on playing 6-max or full ring?

The best course of action is usually starting at the lowest stakes. NL2 in this case.


2. What BR I need to feel comfortable?
If you have a good edge, 20 BIs is enough (which would be 40$). If you're unsure where you stand, you may want to start with at least 50 BIs (100$).


bankroll management is going to be very important! Make sure that, if you move up, you are sufficiently rolled for the new stakes, and if things go bad that you drop down again!!!


Personally, I play with 50 BIs for NL2 (100$), and when I reach 120$, I take a shot at NL5. If I drop below 100$ again, I go back to NL2. If I reach 290$, I take a shot at NL10 (dropping back down to NL5 when dropping below 250$).

When taking shots at a higher stake, it might be interesting to start the shot-taking on the weekend (for a softer field of opponents). That gives you a bigger chance of starting off decent and being able to stay at those stakes.

Pick a BRM system that works for you, and if you're a winning player, you should be playing indefinitely.

Good luck!

5NL because more serious players than at 2NL (2NL sometimes looks like PS freerols) limits, and not as much allins. Bank is 40-60 (200$-300$) buyins to feel comfortable (!) imo 150$ (30 bi) can be enough to play 5NL.

Yes, I really think 5NL is quit better then 2NL, because of less number of paltry players.

I know what I did, but that's just me. I started with a 10x BI 'roll, and haven't had to deposit for a year and a half. No tellin' what your comfort zone is, but I wouldn't think there'd be such a big difference from 2NL to 10NL.

I think it is obviously, that NL2 is the worst poker LIMIT

largely between these limits there is a huge difference. if you can play at the limit nl2 and nl10 too can. So start with the maximum .

Start at $2 NL to get the feel for the game.

If you're a winning player, 30 buy ins for whatever limit you're playing should be sufficient to withstand bad variance, so that would be $60.

If you played before at 5NL or higher, then go there, don't waste time at 2NL.
If you didn't then try 2NL to see how it goes. If you have a good run then you can go up to 5NL and eventually 10NL.

For BIs, it really depends on you. I prefer smaller amount of BIs, like between 10-20 because it keeps me more focused. But if you are not that kind of person then you could go with 20-30, that should be enough.

Start at the bottom and work your way up unless you know for sure you're a winning player unless you don't care about your money. Deposit 40-60 and start at 2nl. I built my bankroll from freerolls. Took about 1.5-2 weeks but my time was very limited.
