Default Re: I don\'t know how to play poker (variance q?)

The thing to do is definitly make sure you can say to yourself today, "I am going to play solid, winning poker." It doesn't have to be your absolute A game, but if you can't play close to it right now, don't play.

I think a lot of players will tell you that they bounced around a lot before moving up to a certain limit. I gave 30-60 a shot for a while back when the tables first open up and was no where near ready. I went back down to 5-10 to regain my confidence for a while. Then i worked my way back up the ladder to 10-20, and now 20-40.

Make sure you have a more cushioned bankroll when you are moving up, absolute minimum of 500BB. From some of the things i have read in the past, this may be difficult and it may not, but i am sure this will be immensley helpful.

Good luck!

Gabe
