When do move up from NL25?

Niediam · #1 08-26-2005, 04:12 AM

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.

I'd say if you're winning more than 2PTBB/100 after 20-30K hands and have the proper bankroll for $50NL by all means move up. Just move down if it's not working out.

when you have enough buy ins to plya at 50$ NL

I've resolved not to move up untill I've played 10k hands and have beaten it for more than 10PTBB/100.

So far I've played 2500 hands and am at 25PTBB/100 hands.

Yeah... at 1800 hands I was at 50PTBB and I thought it would never end. But it did. Dropped 6 buyins over 2 hours. But I was still killing with 25PTBB. When I was destroying for 50PTBB I had dreams of making 100k next year [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

I really don't see the reasoning behind saying that somebody who is barely winning should move up...

As long as you're beating that game for a reasonable amount, you should move up when you have around $1,000.

Allin suggested 2PTBB/100, which is fine, though you should probably be beating that game for more than that unless you have serious leaks.

Move up because if you can beat NL25 for 2-3PTBB/100 you can probably beat NL50 for 2-3PTBB/100 and you'll make twice the cash. But if you are only beating NL25 for 2-3PTBB/100 you should be really working on your game and not worrying about when to move up. It should be beaten for 5-10PTBB/100 for anyone with a proper grasp of basic preflop play, value betting, and the ability to fold one pair to a raise.

You thought you could make like $15/hour/table at NL25, indefinitely? Poker rules, but it doesn't rule that much.
