Re: Want to Up My Game
[ QUOTE ]
I'd like to start off with a roll of 10-15 buy-ins for 2/4, but it would take me a while to save $4-6k. I don't want to go back to playing 1/2 because there's truly no respect for money at that level. Not that I think it will be way better at 2/4, 2/5, but at least a little better is an improvement.
Right now, I'd say I have about 1200-1500 to work with. What are your reccomendations?

as others have posted. Stay in SSNL. 1200-1500 won't get you very far above that.
You should really work your way up gradually, as others have stated. That does 2 things for you, first, you won't have to "save" the money if you win it. Second, it will increase your self confidence in your game, and give you experience, and ultimately allow you to play better, and potentially win.
Your comments on 1/2 NL are way off base. You should "want" to be playing the players that have no respect for money. They are your long term "customers". If you don't realize this, then you have a real fundamental misunderstanding of the game.
You are gravely mistaken if you think your profits will increase at 2/4 and higher. Quite the opposite... the players don't donk off their money because they "do respect money".
The problem for you, is that you won't get their money, you'll probably donk your money off with trouble hands, like KQ into AK, QJ into AQ, JJ into QQ etc.
You should really look at your HH's as well, and really figure out if you're taking bad beats, or if you're setting yourself up for failure, i.e. making loose calls and trapping yourself with trouble hands like AJ, KQ, KJ, QJ, AQ, KT, JJ, etc. you get the idea.
Study up on BR management, stay in low stakes, and work on your fundamentals.
