hi all,
over the past few months i have worked my way up the limits from $2nl to $25 through good results/bw (8bb/100 25000 hands @$25).i now have $2300.my monitor is too small to multi-table except on ub.i play 4 at a time on empire,the overlap sucks.my dilema:move up or reinvest in a new monitor or laptop so i can move out,id be able to play up to 7.right now bankroll growth is the key as i wont be able to get any more $ any time soon.Im giving this decision a couple of months.$25nl is begining to get a little boring for me but $50 makes me nervous.
do you a.get a monitor b.a laptop c.move up d.stay and wait.
I know everyone has to follow they own path.But this has been weighing heavily on my mind.Opinions please.

Here are a couple very cheap options for monitors. I really suggest you buy a new one as they make life a lot less frustrating.

You can get this really nice 19" Flatscreen LCD: $261 - http://accessories.us.dell.com/sna/p...p;sku=320-4113

or:

You can grab what I own - this beautiful 20.1" Flatscreen LCD: $389 - http://accessories.us.dell.com/sna/p...p;sku=320-4111

You'll need coupon codes you can find here: http://www.bensbargains.net/ktalk/1122363538,95484,.shtml

Hope that helps.

Also $1500 is healthy bank roll to play on the NL50s. I'd say anything more than $1500 is probably overkill. That should allow you the both of best worlds. You can buy a new monitor and save sanity, while at the same time move up to a game that you'll very likely be able to beat. The game play does not change very much in those limits, but it might behoove you to make the transition slowly. Perhaps two tabling NL25 while two tabling NL50.

Hope this stuff helps.

i;d move up. if you are a proven 8PTBB/100 at NL25, you'll win at NL50. you have logged enough hands and your roll is big enough.

if you want to stay at NL25, just buy a new monitor. it'll be much cheaper

mixing stakes is also a possibility. i do that all the time. many players don't, but i see no harm in it. just remeber where you are at. . .
