You have a decision to make. You need to decide if playing above your bankroll and probably your skill level, and losing a lot of money is more fun than plugging away at NL$25 (because with that bankroll you have no business at NL$50) and learning the game properly. Bankroll recommendations are partially to ensure you don't go broke due to variance but also to ensure you can actually beat a level before moving to the next.

Well I consider my skill level where I can beat the game consistently at .5/1NL online and 2/5NL Live. But of course I know I have no where near the bankroll for either. What im really thinking about doing here is just forgetting about griding up at low levels and just saving up around $2000 to play with. All of my friends who are now playing around 5-10 and 2/5 Live games won most of their bankrolls through tourny's instead of griding up from low levels.

Also the 2/5Nl live game near me is the softest, weakest game I've pretty much ever played in, so If i had about $3k-$4k to work with I could really beat that game bad. Its pretty much like playing .10/.25 online but with $5 chips instead. Its mostly old men with lots of money, so if you got the bankroll and live in Southern Cali you should play this game.
