Re: Losing at low limit or step it up to high?
[ QUOTE ]
I have been playing B&M low NL games that are full of complete donks. 6 players per flop, a total messy game. No matter how i play i cant consistently win and i believe i am a decent player, and am a winning player when playing against solid players. I have just had trouble keeping a solid bankroll while being in college with bills and such. I am a student of the game and work very hard at it.
my question would be: should i wait and build up a bankroll, or keep playing the low games that are pretty much a crapshoot?
ive scouted the 20/40 limit games well and believe i could do well at that game.

A few things:
1) Do you have enough sessions against the donkeys to be sure that you are not profitable? What is the 95/99% confidence interval around your win rate?
2) Do you have enough sessions against solid players to be sure that you are profitable? What is the 95/99% confidence interval around your win rate?
3) Why are there still 6 players to the flop? Are you raising enough? Are you just putting in 3x-5x even when there are limpers in front and you have a premium hand?
My advice is to learn how to beat low limit first. As a limit player, I'd salivate at all the chances you have to protect large pots / make potents make incorrect calls because you can size your bets properly.
