Default Jumping up with bankroll from outside poker activities

I love that thing about "start at the deep bottom and work your way to sun and glory". Really - love it. It sounds so nice.

But, the more I play, the more I start to thinking about just get more money in my bankroll other ways and jump up the limits. It's not because there are more money. I am just sick and tired, that there are 80% people, who don't know nothing about the game and just plays: "Uoah! Me got SixSix - I will go till the end with those no matter what".

I realize, that there's the beauty to stack such a player, but if almost none of the opp don't respect nothing and there is no way to build your image, exploit it and outplay people - it's just gets frustrating and boring poker.

What are your thoughts on this matter?

If you cant beat the tight low limits good luck when you hit 100x the aggression up top. I wish I had a room full of players at all times that just called down and played their hands like that. You get sucked out on.... its the same guys that draw to gutshots and other stupid draws or draw dead even that pay you off. You'd rather people played great? Lol.

If you have the means I wouldn't start playing anywhere below 100NL. For one the rake is no good 50NL and below and in my opinion the play is so far away from "normal" that you won't learn too much.

50NL and below could help you learn decipline and tilt control but not best lines to take on hands, imo.

this is so untrue. there are plenty of players from all parts of the spectrum at these limits. they might not be awesome poker players, but there are plenty of tag-ish players that you can handread against and such, plus there are tons of fish for easy money.
