I agree with all that has been said concerning the roll, and I think I will set aside 200BB. Any other advice about the difference between the games?

When you say datamine, how exactly does that work? After opening a table up what do you do in PT to accomplish this? [/ QUOTE ] I didn't see that an answer to this question, so I will try. If I miss anything or am unclear, ask and I’ll try to make it clearer. When you have a table open (even if not playing at it) in the party family of sites, the hand histories are stored on your computer automatically. They stay there until you log out of the poker software, and then they are deleted. The hand histories for the tables you are playing at show up as .txt files. The hand histories for the tables you are observing show up as .hhf files and are placed at c:/partypoker/ (if party is the site you are using). They are not placed in the hand history subfolder, but at the root of the partypoker directory. Keep in mind that you poker tracker data base can only be so large. Decide where you want these observed hands stored. They can be in your main database or you can create a separate database in which to store them. (If you chose to put them in a separate database, when you export notes, you can choose to "combine stats from multiple databases" and have all the info on each player exported.) OK - so make sure you have a recent release or updated version of poker tracker. Then, chose File, Auto-Import Hand History/Tournament Summaries - Setup. (If this option does not show up, go to poker tracker site and download an update.) Then, specify the file(s) where you regular hand histories are stored and make your other choices. Click on OK. On this next screen, choose "Configure Import of Observed Hands). This is where you tell poker tracker which database you want the observed hands placed in and where to look for the observed hand histories. That’s all there is to it. Hope this helps. |

At 10/20 the play is more aggressive and trickier. Be prepared to go to showdown heads up w/ a good ace or a low pair with some frequencey against the more aggro opponents. Keep an eye on your table stats and don't get stuck at a table dominated by TAGs, which happens a lot more at 10/20 than 5/10.
I'll second the suggestion to set aside 200 BB for your shot. You could easily drop 100 in a couple days of running bad. B. |

9K definitely does not guarantee going broke at the 10-20 even for a good player. -Michael [/ QUOTE ] If you go through $9K in 10/20, you are either not a good player, or you have too many leaks when things aren't going your way. |

you dont have a $9k BR in case you lose 9k. you keep a BR so that if/when you hit a big downswing, you dont have to drop down in games. i had a $16k BR, had a $5k drop, but could still afford to play at the $10-20 game. that is the point of the BR. $9k should be fine for starting out and taking a dip, but if you drop below $7k, i would drop back to $5/10. i started 10/20 6 max 4 tables with 10k FWIW. gl to you. |

Thanks to all of you especially bds for taking the time to show me how to datamine. After taking all of what was said into account I think I am going to stick to 5/10 for a month, hopefully move my BR up 3-4k and datamine all the while, and then I think I will be ready to take a shot. Thanks again.

I understand this, that's not what I was saying. I was just responding that I don't think a good player would ever lose $9000 in 10/20 no matter how bad they were running. That's a huge setback. If you are a good player, I can see downswings in the 150-200 bet range, but never 450. |
