Re: Official August Thread: General Discussion, butterfingers/etc
So I wanna take an aggressive shot at 2/4 with just under 20 buyins.. is there anything different between the 1/2 regs and the 2/4 regs, or is it like the jump from .5/1 to 1/2 (more aggression, but not necessarily smarter aggression)?

[/ QUOTE ] I haven't played the 1/2 in so long I honestly don't remember the differences, but I would highly discourage taking a shot w/ less than 20 buy in's. If you're a winning player @ the 1/2 (which I assume you are and that's why you're trying to move up), just play there for another 2 weeks, save up 30-40 buy in's for this level and take a shot then. Best of luck if you do try it though.... |

[/ QUOTE ] There is definitely a decent jump in the skill between regulars, but if you're doing well at $200nl you should be ok at $400nl. 20 buyins is really shallow though, if I were you I'd perhaps take a 2-3 buyin shot and see how it goes, dropping down if you lose the buyins. I think your best off following GD's advice and just stay at $200nl for a little while and grind out more of a bankroll. |

is it really that painful to make $150/hr for another couple of weeks until you know for sure you have earnt the right to move up? people are always asking about this, it just seems like a lack of confidence in your own abilities like you want to run good into a real bankroll. if you are a solid winner at your current level grinding a bankroll for the one above should take very little time.
