Changing to full limit ring
$10/20 6-max player, usually 3-table. Because of the Party thing I am considering playing 3-4 tables of $20/40 to start out with a $20,000 bankroll. Good idea? Any pointers/advice you could give me?
Thanks John |

Re: Changing to full limit ring
I don't see what's motivating your change. Elaborate and maybe we can help you better.
$20k is not enough to play 20/40 though unless your bankroll is easily replenishible or you have good reason to believe that you will immediately be a significant winner in that game. |

500BB is more than enough.

Re: Changing to full limit ring
So is a winner at $10/20 6-max not good enough to be a winner at $20/40 full? My only concern is that now with the increased $3 rake, perhaps it might me more +EV to switch back to mid-high stakes full on Party. I really want to hear your guys' thoughts on this.

[/ QUOTE ] Well if you have more data on exactly what kind of winner you are at 10/20 you should provide it...IMO if you had been beating the 10 game for any amount of time your roll should be much bigger than 20k...say you start the 20 with a 150BB downswing, that's 1/3 of your bankroll gone minus a lot of confidence. |

Re: Changing to full limit ring
True...well i'm not a huge winner but i've been beating it for just a little under 1 BB/100. I just moved up from $5/10 6-max to $10/20 6-max last month so i'm still adjusting to the game, but i'm starting to get used to the increased aggression. I basically doubled my roll from $10,000 since last month, but unfortunately a decent amount of that was from rakeback. I wish I woulda moved up sooner so I coulda rode the wave while it lasted...but honestly I don't think i'm in too much trouble.

Re: Changing to full limit ring
I'm at a similar path as you. ive played 5/10 85k and 10k of 10/20 and have a bankroll close to yours. and i dont think that you should move up. You have been a 1bb/100 winner (like me) and have had a good month on the new level (same here) but i think you can take some more time at the 10/20 cos if you've only played a month of 10/20 then i'm not sure how much you are looking forward to the swings at 20/40, i don't. But it depends how much gambler you are, for me i'm waiting a 100k hands on 10/20 before i will move up. But probebly you will improve your game faster if you face togher opponents quicker
