Moving Up, But Not Really

[Miguel Olivo]

I just moved up to 25NL and ran bad for two hours with minor tilt which effectively killed half my roll. Now I have $210. Obviously plenty for 10NL but would it be stupid to shortstack 25NL instead?? Thanks for any input/advice.

If you lose half your bankroll in two hours, you probably should move down.

Over 3 days, but 5 or so hands killed me. Flopped 3 sets that lost to straights and 1 flush. Basically 8 buy-ins. My only tilt was going all in with a good hand, and that cost me in the sense that I didnt get paid at all with flopped straights and what not. I was playing well, really, but 5-10 hands for a buy-in a piece will do you in...

210 is not plenty for 10NL - you actually have just the right amount. and yes, you should move down.

Don't shortstack if you want to learn to play poker. Move down to $10NL and have fun playing and learning. I won't play any level without 25+ buy-ins.

If you can afford to go busto just keep on playing 25nl untill busto and reload if you're comfortable playing that level.
If BR management is a concern well you better grind up to 25x30 = 750$ to move up comfortably.
I'd take shots at 550/600ish and rebuild back to that level once you drop to < 500

You could even move down to 5nl and play 200bb deep, losing a few buyins at 10nl could put you on a very slim roll

paly 1/2, you have some breathing room to reload even.

What's the hurry. Drop down and grind it up again. The main reason you want to shortstack 25NL is to "make back" your losses - means you're going to be impatient and this will just lead to more tilt. Take your time, relax and just work it back - no pressure.

I can see I'm going to have to write an article on shot-taking, this is getting totally ridiculous.

OP, MOVE DOWN FOR THE LOVE OF GOD
