im so sick of 5NL, nobody folds, my big hands never get paid off or i get sucked out on, my marginal steals/moves get called down everytime.

Hey guys I have a question -

Do you look at a graph of your session after every session? Half the time it tilts the hell out of me when I see how many BIs I was up. I am trying to break the habit

nowhere in my post did i say 5NL was hard, what i did say is that these farking donkies are running me over and stars thinks it is hilarious to drop my deck in the arctic circle.

maybe i just need to move up. i find 5NL extremely boring after chasing at 25NL and owning.

[checkmate36]

teh you may be playing too low for your abilities. If you got the roll, maybe move up to 25 where you were playing.

most likely IMO. yet i moved down to 2NL to donk around a little and im still running like dirty balls. it seems like stars finds a way for me to lose every friggen big pot im involved in, but to make sure i dont go burn down their offices, they let me win a couple small ones here and there and hardly make up the loss. 25NL to chase here i come again. second time today. it is so sad i can own 25NL and but cant break even at 2NL and 5NL this month.

[checkmate36]

I have a question...

How many buy ins do you guys think is a good amount to earn to demonstrate you have beaten a limit?

I recall reading a post in ssnl where some of the posters talked about earning 20BI's at a level before moving up.

I was considering grinding out 20 BI per level before moving up to the next. Good idea? Bad idea? Thanks for any feedback.

i like 20. i crushed 2NL 2 months ago for 20BI, but only made 10 at 5NL last month with a lot of chasing at 25NL. i was hoping to meet that 20BI goal but if the rest of the month goes the way today has, i'll be lucky not to hang myself before september.
