question regarding moving up quick!
ALright guys Ive been playin poker nl and lately limit for about 8 months and not till recently I started winning. I have lost about 1.5k before i learned about proper br and stuff. I currently have 700$ on pp playing 1/2 but Im thinking of putting 600 more to play 2/4. Should I move up to quickly or just let it ride out till i have proper br for 2/4> ? I started with 100 2 weeks ago on pp and got it up to 700. Is it profitable to play on pp even without rakeback or should i put some money elsewhere and take advantage of rakeback?

Re: question regarding moving up quick!
I'd play 1/2 until I got the $700 up to $1200 or so then give it a shot. I'm not saying anything bad about your poker game (I have no idea how good you are) but you could just be running white hot right now (actually you are running hot right now, regardless of whether you are a winning player or not, unless you've played over 10k hands in the last 2 weeks.) There are ways to calculate the odds of whether or not you are a winning player at a limit. A lot of people recommend getting this calculation over 95% (or even 98%+) before moving up, some want to be winning after 10k hands, etc. If you can afford it and want to take a shot, you can always just move back down if you start getting killed, and rebuild/reassess/try again in a month or 2.

Re: question regarding moving up quick!
i actually had the br 3/6 but stayed at 1 dollar limit. i took it all out when UB started [censored] up then I deposited 100 on pp so i can play before I decide where to put my br. Turned it into 700 in 2 weeks running hot and playing good. No im contemplating adding more money and moving to 2/4 so i can move up real quick. I have over 50k hand playing dollar and running over 5bb/100 1 tabling.

Re: question regarding moving up quick!
A few questions:
1) Do you use pokertracker and pokerace/GT? 2) If you supplement your bankroll with $600 or whatever, can you afford to lose that money if things don't go well? 3) Are you able to deal with $200 - $400 downswings over one session? If you answered yes to these three questions, I'd say go for it. Good luck. |

For me I waited until I had 400BB's for 2/4 then If I went below 300BB I would move back to 1/2

Re: question regarding moving up quick!
I have a personal rule that I won't move up in limits until I've earnt the bankroll required (300BB) from my current limit. So, if I was you, I wouldn't be moving up until I'd won another $500.
Probably why I'm still at 2/4. Plus the splurging on holidays thing [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]. Each to their own. I've deposited money from my pocket twice in my life and hated doing it both times. |

Re: question regarding moving up quick!
You should aim to move up as quickly as possible. Poker starts to become a lot more interesting and more profitable at 3/6 and up.

Re: question regarding moving up quick!
in my experience, 1/2 is much easier than 2/4, 3/6, and 5/10. i would support moving from 2/4 to 5/10 as quickly as possible, but make sure you have some skills before moving to 2/4.

[/ QUOTE ] Not sure I understand this correctly but if you are saying you are a 5BB/100 winner after 50K hands you should not waste another second at this limit. Even with less than 200BB for the new limit. You can always drop down and rebuild if you take a 100BB hit. |
