I played SNGs for 12 months until this September, then i decided to give limit ring game a go. I started at 25/50 and decided to play each level and win at least 300 big bets at each level before moving up. It did not take long, much as expected to crack 25/50 around 6000 hands or so for 400bb, so I went to 50/1 this took 10,500 hands to make the 300bb. Next I moved upto 1/2 and its going fine in terms of winning, but I only have 2000 hands or so, so far.
Now I am aware that I really haven't played many hands here, but I'm playing 1/2 on a 3000 dollars roll, if I lose 600 dollars trying this I am not going to cry. My question is about the VP$IP levels at each stage:
25/50 VP$IP was 20.5%
50/1 VP$IP was 16.3%
1/2 VP$IP so far is 12.7%
Surely this is tight to the point of becoming restricting, is this tightness a good place to start from and then to work in more hands as I get used to the current level, or is this just awful? I don't feel like I have had particlarly bad cards over this admittedly small sample, though I have noticed more preflop raising going on than at the previous level. Any comments on this subject would be appreciated.
Regards Mack
