so can i assume that the 10/20 nl is about the same as 50/100 limit or a bit higher?


[/ QUOTE ]

I dont know cause I dont play any of these. I think general opinion is that 50/100 limit is bigger game (bigger means bankroll/swings/profit wise) but my intuition tell me that these games are more or less the same level.
I think that great 2kNL player can earn much more per hand than 50/100 limit player for example but swings are certainly higher at limit.

Best wishes

losing 10k in a day will not phase me.

How about losing 10k in a hand? Or going from +10k to -10k in a single orbit? Keep in mind that you'll need to get used to this kind of nonsense to play in the 25-50NL.

Re: your quest, I think you're underestimating how tough, especially psychologically, the bigger (5-10NL and up) NL games can be, especially on people who are primarily limit players. I suspect you have a good chance at achieving your goal, but it'll probably take quite a bit longer than your plan. I fully agree with your approach re: this improving your overall poker game. I've dabbled a fair amount across limit/NL/Omaha/random other games/tourneys/live/online for reasons of boredom and improving my game and it has definitely helped.

what type of time table would you set out? where do you think the problems will come, moving from 5-10 to 10-20 nl? Lack of understanding or pysc. factors? Anything I should definatly avoid doing or not doing?
thanks
dave

Something to add to your quest. Have you considered doing something like keeping two tables of 30/60 limit open and just go on autopilot while you REALLY concentrate on like 1-2 tables of nl cash? This might help in keeping up a nice earn rate, especially if you find out you suck at NL.

that does make sense on some levels, however while I may currently suck at nl my goal is to get good. I am confedent I can and so I am purseing this goal first earn second. my thinking is that is I want to become a great, rather than good player, I have to do everything I can ti improve. and nl seemed like a good ave. for improvement. finally, right now I don't have that many expenses so I don't mind a reduced earn, while I am getting better.
