22/33 players

hummusx · #1 04-21-2005, 09:11 AM

There was a pretty extensive discussion a while back about the 33s as a potential stopping point for a lot of decent players. I'm just wondering if there's anyone that has recently made the move from 22 to 33 and what your take on the difference in play is. My bankroll is starting to get to the point that I'm contemplating a move.

Man I swear I was thinking this question not 20 minutes ago.

My bankroll is plenty (I could move to the 50's and 100's if needed be) But I am pretty comfortable crushing the 20's and making good money per night. Now I know that it may not seem like much to you guys but I am still working on my game trying to plug up some holes. My friend who is also playing the 20's and says he is ready to move up thinks I'm ready also but I am not sure I want to move. When do you know for sure that you can move? And how different are the games as the first poster asked from the 20's to the 30's?

From what I have seen the difference isn't huge, there is less complete maniacs andthe game seems to have more player left at level 4/5 (usually around 6 I would say). If you crush the 20s then you'll just have to adjust and not push as often since there is more player left, and you'll be fine.

Thx for the feedback. I think I will continue to crush the 20's for another month or so. Move to the 30's in mid May.

I play the 50s pretty regularly and due to some bad beats/bad play, I lost a huge chunk of my bankroll. I had to drop to the 20s. I used to play the 30s before moving to the 50s. The 30s are much tougher than the 50s or the 20s. Now that I am back in the 20s, it still amazes me how willing people are to hand their chips to you. I don't think that I'll ever move up again. Why move up if you are killing the 20s?

Well, would you rather make 20% at the 20s or 10% at the 50s? I'd rather the latter, do you see why? Seriously though, you'd be making more money at the table plus 150% more in rakeback.

yeah but when you hit a cold streak it would get mighty cold in the 50's but it would be pretty nice when you are on a hoty streak. Variance would be a bitch if you are a regulat 20's player. I eventually will be 8-12 tabling the 50's but right now am happy with the low variance of the 20's.

It's the right time when you don't have to ask whether or not you should move up. Do you see why? (I always wanted to ask that.) Seriously, I do think there is some merit to it. When you're confident enough in your play and bankroll, you won't need to ask.

What do you consider "crushing," if you don't mind sharing? And over how many games? I'm just trying to get a feel for where I should/need to be.

(Yes, this is a sneaky way to ask "what's a good ROI for the 22s" without getting grief for starting a new thread.)

Well it's not a very big sample size like most have here but it's enough for me to judge that I can beat these games pretty easy.. I have only about 500 games in (that I have tracked) and my ROI is around 24%. I am not sure if this is really "crushing" the games but I feel like I am and I still feel I have a few holes to plug yet.
