Systems for ladders / steps

[bwadbwoy]

Hi,

I started playing online a coupla years back on Ladbrokes poker.

I used these ladders, along with reading to learn how to play. I qualified on level 1 and built up to a $800 credit roll as of last year.

The ladders system is of the following:

Level 1 - buyin $3 + .30, top 3 qualify
Level 2 - buyin $10 + 1, top 3 qual, 4th gets rebuy
Level 3 - buyin $30, top 3
Level 4 - buyin $100, cashout $500, $300, $200



This is kind of a pscychology / bankroll post.

I can beat the $10 level no probs, peeps play pretty loose and it is the same regulars, so i have good notes etc.

$30 level is more interesting as a lot of the idiots don't make it. Also, peeps playing straight through realise they are 1 qualification away from final table so is a tighter game and thus takes more concentration.

Final table, even tighter.

Basically, when I sit down to play poker, I waste too much time by just playing a couple of $10n1s, which - win or lose makes little difference to my roll and no difference to my bank balance.

If I'm up for it, I may play a $30, yet I rarely play a $100. I've played 6 ever, results, 1 1st, 1 3rd, 2 bubbles.

If I don't make it ITM, i get upset. If this were the 'real world', I would be way underrolled to play $100 Sngs.

I've tried building a normal roll from small stakes, but find them tedious and I end up tilting and dusting it.

Can anyone recommend a good system or way forward for me?
