Hey HouseCalls,

Glad to see your bankroll is building and that you are logging the hands at micros! Hows the bonus clearing going, any luck finding more to clear?

Paradise currently have a reload and don't forget to cash in and out when stars do their stackable reloads(To clear in a few months when you have time/Can be bothered).

Two things before moving up stakes:
1, Confidance - Do you feel you're comfortable to move up to higher stakes?
2, Does your bankroll allow it?
3, are you beating the previous stakes?

Yes, Yes, Yes = Move up!
Yes, No, No = Dont.
No, Yes, yes = Prob best not to just yet, Confidance is important!

Anyhow on a side note....

When logging hands at .10/.20 don't think of it as grinding. Whilst the stakes are low, the lessons are cheap. This means you can do things you may not do when you begin to play .50/1 and 1/2.

Such as:
in small pots, When your sure... but not 100% so that a guy is bluffing/Holding feck all(I.e. you will win) you can call down. This increases confidance in reads and doesn't cost much if you're wrong.

Blind stealing - Once again, you can try this vs weak tight opponents you spot. Its cheap it goes horribly wrong, but a handy "weapon" to have some practice at.

Now don't call down vs everyone, or blind steal from all tight players... That will drop you're win rate and prolong the play at the lower levels. But just remember, the lessons now are cheap, but at 1/2 calling down can cost you $4+ ... Now it costs maybe $40+Cents? Practice whilst its cheap, this is something i never did much of.

Good luck,
POKhER.
p.s. 17/7 is quite tight, So when comfy at .25/.50 after 10K hands or so have your PT STATS checked before moving to .50/1
