Ok I would really like some good advice in this regard.
This is partly a BRM question and general advice.
Firstly, I a DO NOT play ring games but prefer to grind sng's
I play about 6 - 7 hours a day, more on the weekends
I have a full time job.
I would seriously like to go pro or at least semi before I am 40
( I am 36 this year )
I've been playing seriously for over 3 years and initially I know I sucked really bad, especially at BRM and playing tournaments out of my league and beyond my BR.
I did get lucky a couple of times and cashing in some large Mtt's as well as a good win. But I suffered a downward spiral which saw my BR dwindle.
The last 18 months or so, I made a descision to do things properely and withdraw a large sum from Full tilt and started over with $40 on Full tilt.
I started grinding it out playing $3 90 player sng's
I managed to get my roll up to around $400 before a massive down swing then another good upswing which saw my roll pass the $500 mark.
I then moved up to playing the $10 90 player sngs and started crushing those. I then started playing $24 and then cashed in a number of $24 mtt's and boosted my BR somewhat. I have withdrawn from my roll a few times probably a total of about $1000 and my roll is currently over the $2k mark.
I'm tempted to stay at the $24 level until I am alot more confortable but those higher buyins look sooo goooood....
my question is this :
Does ring brm apply the same mind set as tournet / sng brm ?
whats my next step here ?
Do I stay grinding the $24 level ?
based on the strategy of only buying in for a max of 5% of my BR, that should be allowing me to be playing up to $100
What should I be focussing on?
Where do I go from here?
At what level should I consider moving up from $24 to beyond ?
The $24 level is about 1.2% of my BR, am I doing myself a disfavour my staying at this level ?
My BR would currently allow me to buy into at least 90 $24 games. Is this sufficent?
I have heard 2 oppossing statements - one being that one should have over 100 buyins for the level youre playing at
another is that you should not buy in for MORE than 5% of your BR.
So which is it?
Any serious input would be seriously appreciated.
