Compare 11s with 55s
 

Many of you have traveled through the levels learning as you go from 11s on upward. My goal is to get to the 55s in a year. I think that is reasonable. When you think of the level of play and strategy, what is the difference between these two areas of the spectrum.

I will do this too. I started playing the 11's about 2 weeks ago. My nick name is Grange_Master4. GL to ya SaqqyTTs.

My goal will be to reach the 55's in...one month starting with $88.00. So by February I should be playing the 55's with at least a 2k bankroll.

A $5,500 BR would be more appropriate. I started at the $6s in October with $200, I'm on the $33s with $4k+ right now. I spend about 90mins studying for every hour playing though.

30-40 buyins is more than sufficient for a bankroll if you know what you are doing and are willing to move down when you have lost a decent amount of it.

Re: Compare 11s with 55s
 

I dont think you need 100 buyins to play a level 30-50 is fine IMO as long as you dont mind moving down when you lose some. Personally if I ever get below 30 buyins I just move down levels till I have 40 buyins for the higher level and then try again. The main difference I have seen on the stars 55+5 copared to the 6+.50 is that there is less dumb play through the first few levels. And usually only like 2-3 players are terrible instead of 5-6. I havent played the 55's very long though so I am still getting used to them.

I didnt mean anything by my post, i just wanted to set a goal. I do think it is very possible for me to do this, even if I am not a very good player.

What do you mean? Its obvious that an 8 buy-in bankroll is more than enough for any semi non decent player to sustain profitability at poker.

Re: Compare 11s with 55s
 

Well, I am going to start out at the 11's with my 88 bucks. During the first 4 SNG's i am just going to play regularly. On the sets after that I am going to invest my BR into the "sidebet" game at least three times. So within 10 hours I will have at least 300.00. With that money I will move down to the 5+1 speed tournaments because they are really fun. After I win 200.00 or 10 straight SNG's(which ever comes first) I will move up to the 33's. Where I will single table for 24 hours straight. This should give me a great sample size for my long term stats. If I like them I will move back down to the 5+1 speed tournaments. I will play these until I have 1,000.00. If I dont do too good at the 33's I will start playing blackjack until I have 1000. At this point I will start 7 tabling the 55's where I plan to stay until I have 2,000. Like I said I am not very good so this plan will give me a great chance of success.

I would be glad to keep you guys updated every week... but frankly i dont think you care

GL, you are in for quite a ride and the funniest part about it is that you have no idea what is about to happen to you.

Re: Compare 11s with 55s
 

I dont know what you mean?

Re: Compare 11s with 55s
 

I think that was his point.

Re: Compare 11s with 55s
 

I'm just curious as to why you want to put money into the sidebet game and/or blackjack as a means to build your bankroll?

BTW I am doing the same thing now, giving the $11s another shot after I had some success with them last summer ... so far things are going quite well.

Re: Compare 11s with 55s
 

It was a joke, BTW.

But I am planing on Making it from the 11's to the 55's in one month. If anyone wants to try this with me be my guest, i would love to talk with someone(or some people).

Re: Compare 11s with 55s
 

I don't get jokes

I was just being a smartass, dont mind me.

No, that'd just be a waste.

Re: Compare 11s with 55s
 

55s are a joke, if you have 2k that should be enough to play them

Re: Compare 11s with 55s
 

Bankroll is up to 450.00. I am hanging out at the 22's right now until I get about 700.00.

To all the nay-say'ers. I'll post again next monday to prove to you that i'm for real.
