I used to play NL10, but I realized it was too exciting (I can't afford a big enough bankroll for that) So I switched to NL2 and now I almost don't worry and show my best results.

Nice results, what stakes are you playing now? Only scanned through the thread but looks like you must be putting in some decent volume, are you multitabling many tables?

Thanks so much to the three posters above. I only just started playing again as I left Costa Rica in December 2021 to go back to the Uk. I got a “proper job” in recruitment but working for “the man” isn’t for me hahaha.

I’m back in Central America. This time not only with my wife, but also our 1 year old son.

Im grinding up from 2nl again, I made a deposit of just $30.

I actually do use a 100 buy in strategy once I get to 10nl and above. 2nl and 5nl are low(ish) variance for me.

My winrate at 25nl was not a large enough sample to bother mentioning but I think I was positive over a few thousand hands. I had to quit and go back to UK for birth of my son, so I cashed out the roll.

Im not sure if I’ll play zoom or regular tables this time.

Good luck with the poker and central Americawith a 1 year old!

If you were playing 25NL before it might not be necessary to drop all the way down to 2NL unless the $30 you deposited is all you can afford to lose

A 2nl move to 5nl and having in mind your up climbing diagram is a decent step in front, in your poker situation.

Hello friend, muchos gracias. I just started playing again from the bottom just 1 week ago, but I've been very sick in bed with flu for almost a week so i dont have any graph to post. I think I will play 2nl and then 5nl zoom before switching to 10nl regular tables.

Thank you kindly good sir. It certainly has its challenges. I have a healthy savings account based in England so I don't actually need to grind up from 2nl, but I find that when I take a break for a couple of years it always helps to just start from the bottom again. I also enjoy starting from scratch. I should be at 10nl with 100 buyins within 3 months. And then perhaps another 3 months to 25nl? lets see.
Play where you are best...
Thank you. The problem is, I don't know. I have plugged the numbers and a 5bb zoom winrate at 10nl and 150k hands a month would be more than a 12bb win rate at 40k hands a month on regular tables. But zoom comes with higher variance. Im undecided.

Many thanks.



PS

I will upload a graph once I have climbed to 5nl. No one cares/ wants to see weekly 2nl graph updates haha.

Thank you.
You welcome.
The problem is, I don't know.
You feel rusty? (This is a great absence in your case)

Reg tables are said to be softer than zoom.
But zoom comes with higher variance.
Yes, it's pretty fast...
Im undecided.
I would prefer to start from the lowest level... Right, so for a warm-up...
I see you are quite experienced. You'll have no problem catching up...
