Unexpected Bankroll Growth

[tinga81]

thanks for all the advice.

i think i'm just going to stick at the $100NL/$200NL where i feel more comfortable at, after i get enough hands in at the levels, i'll move up.

i didn't want to skip levels, i knew there would be many risks involved, and i had always been one to work it up (i started with $75 and have worked it to $12k now, between ring and MTTs) and play smart with it.

i definately see a vacation/new toys coming my way.

thanks again!

One of the chief benefits of working up the ladder slow is making good notes on opponents. Then when you meet them again on a higher level and there is more money on the line for your decisions, those notes often make the difference between making a bad/good play or not.

I think this is an *outstanding* point. I don't use my notes and player stats as much as I might, but knowing some of the players at a table can be a BIG +EV -- especially since they usually know each other's play at the higher levels.

I think that the 100NL level would be the absolute worst level to skip. Here the level of play seems to represent something that looks like poker.
