hi all,
I recently put $50 into my bluesquare account with the full intention of playing sensibly and within my bank roll.
I started playing the 0.05/0.10 10 seater cash games and although i was playing well, making strong raises with the right hands and position, i was constantly getting beaten by hands that should never have been in the pot in the first place.
I don't know why i did it but i sat down at the 1/2 full ring game with my whole bankroll of $55, this may seem crazy but being a tight player i sat at a table with 10% p/f as i thought that if i was going to move up like that i wanted to be at a table where my raises that weren't gettin respect in the smaller games, because of the stakes (3xBB is only 30c after all) would get respect when the stakes were higher and the standard of play more suited to mine.
Over the past week i've turned the $50 into $180 by playing a tight game, only raising with good hands when no-one else has entered the pot and when i'm going to have position after the flop, also with a few cheeky raises with suited connectors where i can steal the blinds or have outs if they call.
The thing is i know that this won't last forever and i know that my BR isn't big enough to take a downswing at that level, but it's working, i've made a profit so i'm obv not doing much wrong!
I was just wondering what anyone elses take on this is? Should i stay playing at the tight 1/2 games where i'm making a profit or drop down to a level more suited to my bank roll and keep getting beats from chasers and general idiots?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated, thanks
P.s just qualified through a freeroll for a Super sat to a Sat for the GUKPT Walsall!! yey, it's not much but i set myself a new year resolution of free rolling into a main event this year after just missing out on a trip to EPT Prague that i originally bought into 2 tournaments earlier for 100 PKR Points![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
