Default What Limit should I play???!!

Ive got roughly $300 dollars left in my Party/Stars accounts and im trying to determine what is the best limit for me to play in.

Ive kept PT stats for about 30K hands scattered amongst the

1/2 2/4 and .50/1 limits with a .9BB/100 over these limits,

Broken down...

14K 1/2 .47BB/100
6K 2/4 .30BB/100
6K .50/100 2.65BB/100

Or should i move to maybe .25/.50?

How did you build up from your initial investment?

Read SSH, then play .50/1.

If you have already read SSH, APPLY SSH and play .50/1.

I have read SSH, great book :-)

Just concerned because the results are not where I would expect them to be with my BB/100? Should I be?

At what point is it "safe" to move up to 1/2?

Your BB/100 is terrible at the higher limits. 2.65/100 isn't bad at .50/1, and you aren't doing great at the higher limits. I would stay at .50/1. Try to play at 1/2 occasionally, but drop down to .50/1 whenever you lose too much at 1/2.

your sample size is too small. play 20-30k hands at .5/1 and then decide if you should move up when you have a bigger bankroll.

Well, at 5K hands in 1/2 i was 1.3

Then, at 10K hands i was at 1.0

Then the last 4K hands or so its been rough...that's why im reconsidering changing limits.

I feel i was getting "banged" out of alot of pots on 1/2 and 2/4. That, mixed in with ALOT of suck outs lately on that limit has been killing me.

$300 is a perfect bankroll for $0.50/1 if you never want to redeposit; if you don't care about playing with "real" money, just play whatever limit you want to.

Stop focusing on results (ie, your "winrate") and start focusing on your play.
