.50/1 to 10/20? How Long?
 

Hi,
I was wondering how long does it take for a .50/1 player to move up to a 10/20?Im a month new to poker and i been playing .50/1 and im doing decent in it. How long did it take for you to move up to 10/20 or 5/10 and how long have u been playing poker? [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]

I've been playing for a year (almost every day) and I'm up to 2/4 dabbling at 3/6 online (I play a higher level in B&M). I'm hoping to make it to 10/20 online within 1.5 more years. So, I guess if you're ok like me (I think I'm probably an average player at best), it'll take close to 3 years. If you are good, I'm sure it'll be less than that (maybe one year?).

Bout a year. But then things will go really bad and you'll have to move back down. Enjoy.

Everyone will have a different answer to this question. For a decent player, how fast you move up depends on many things, including:
[list][*]How risk averse are you? ie. How many BBs are you comfortable with playing at each limit.[*]How often do you have to dip into your bankroll for things other than poker?

There are so many more...

how quickly can you type in credit card numbers?

Maybe this question should be answered in # of hands played.

For the vast majority of players, the answer is likely to be 'forever'.

I have been playing for about 2 years, play OK, beat 2/4, do OK at 3/6 - and fully expect to never get to 10/20.
