Bankrolling and moving up the limits
I started playing not too long ago, and have found that I have a knack for the game, at least I am doing OK so far. I played a couple NL-Holdem tournaments with co-workers, and was hooked. Wanting to play more, but not having any card rooms in my area I moved to the play money tables. That got boring after a couple of months, and I just went to Party a little over a week ago. I put up $100, and after a week of playing the NL25 Tables I am over $200(Including the 20% they released to me after 100 hands).
I have heard that the NL50 tables are pretty tough but NL100 and NL200 are a little easier, is that true? I have 400 BB in my bankroll for NL50. Is that good enough for a tougher set of tables? Or should I sit tight until I have $300 and move up to the NL100's? Is only a week(approximately 30 hours of play) too short a time to make such a decision? Any and all advice, and/or abuse, is welcome. |

Re: Bankrolling and moving up the limits
I went to the casino with $100 in my pocket and after 10 hands of $10 bet blackjack I'm at $200, although that does include the $20 they gave me when I signed up for a comp card. So anyway, I'm clearly a blackjack master. Should I move up to the $50 min bet tables or wait until I have $500 and then move up?
Thanks! |

Re: Bankrolling and moving up the limits
You probably want at least 1,000 dollars before you go to the 50NL games (20 buyins). Stick around in the 25s for a while and youll soon be there, good luck

Re: Bankrolling and moving up the limits
It doesn't get easier as you move up. I would be very leery of listening to any advice from someone who thinks the $200 tables are easier than the $25 tables.
You are playing with 8 buy-ins, which is thin but doable if you are a winning player. Get up to 20 buy-ins and hit the $50's. get to $2k, then move to the $100's. Rinse.Repeat. Be forewarned: All players (good, average or bad) if they play long enough will experience 10-15 buy-in downswings. You want to make sure you have a bankroll that can handle anything variance throws at you. Welcome to the boards. |

Re: Bankrolling and moving up the limits
Looks like 20 buyins is a common theme. Thanks for the advice.
