Re: Move up to juicy game above your limits?
 

the important question is what are you doing playing 2/4 with a 10k roll?

but to answer your question, definitely, unless you'd be really bothered if you lost.

Re: Move up to juicy game above your limits?
 

No, not at all. Stop playing 2/4--move up a level.

I lost $1000 at 15/30 on party last night, so be advised, losing that much is very possible and doesn't mean much.

I've built up my BR mainly by casino bonus whoring. Yes, the money means pretty much nothing to me. It's completely profit and I'm a college student. My expenses, not counting tuition, are about $100-$200 a month. I haven't moved up in limits because I've been playing different types... 2/4 NL, shorthanded NL, some heads up, some SNGs, etc.

2/4 NL is a lot different that 2/4 Limit. I would say you should be able to take a shot at the 15/30 game, because with 2/4 limit, you should be seeing swings of $500 - $1,000 in a night already.

Not really. I want to know what other people think. It's entirely possible I missed something when I thought this through.

The game is so fuc[/i]king swingy, that you could play at the craziest table there and drop $1000 like that. Remember that when everyone is chasing all the time, you might hit bad beat after bad beat after bad beat. I think CDC said something like a proper bankroll for 15/30 is 400 or 450 BB. That's 12 grand!

This entirely has everything to do with bankroll and how much risk you are willing to take. I've taken a few shots at 15/30 and have lost a total of $1,500 so far. No big deal, that's only 50 BB. First off, it's a very aggressive game and it's hard to adjust. When to make the laydowns and when to call down.

If you could drop $1,000 and not sweat it, go for it. If that would hurt, then I strongly recommend you don't try.

Higher.

If you're playing 2/4 on a $10k bankroll, it's gotta be for a reason. The two most likely are that you either don't think you're good enough to move up yet or that swings or dropping larger dollar amounts in a shorter period of time seriously mess with you psychologically. If either of those are the case, don't take a shot at a juicy 15 game.

Everybody has pointed out how likely you are to lose the $1000. What if you win $2k or $3k? Will you just add that to your BR and go back to the (now) tame and boring 2/4? Or will you start playing 15/30 in earnest until you find out why the recommended BR is 300 - 500 BB?

Re: Move up to juicy game above your limits?
 

Well, right now I've run it up to 3k and I'm just planning on playing this one table for a while. If my winning keeps up for a few weeks, then I'll go try some of party's 15/30 tables.

Oh, and I just realized, the hand I posted my A9 vs A3, the river was another A. That probably would make more sense.
