When to move up from NL25?

[munkey]

Hi all
This is based on Fimbulwinter's legendary post:

When do move up from NL25?

and is a compilation of articles/threads I've mainly collected or found using the search feature Pokey: 'How to use 2+2's search engine' that I used/am using to improve certain aspects of my game that I thought it might be of help to those like myself moving from NL25 to NL50.

What approximate win rate (after a significant # of hands of course) do you think should one should have at NL25 before making the move to NL50?

Thanks a lot.



first off you should never view it as a quantum leap kinda thing. just take little shots when you feel comfortable, have the money and are good enough. here's a hand waving yardstick:

try 50NL when:

- you're confident in your preflop game
- you understand position
- you have a good idea of their hand by the river
- you have an ok feel when to continuation bet
- you have 500 or more

1. You're confident in your preflop game

I can't give you confidence, only a boatload hands will but here's some preflop threads to start you build your own preflop strategy:

2. You understand position

Pokey's article on using position preflop - also TAG FR starting hands


3. You have a good idea of their hand by the river

4. You have an ok feel when to continuation bet

5. You have 500 or more

I believe he meant start taking shots at NL50 when you have 500 as the commonly accepted bankroll for your current limit is x20 buyins.

Finished, took longer than i thought and that was after a pruning, hope this is of some use to some and not just repeating.
