160K in 1 month for a NL novice- easy?

[TheWorstPlayer]

Would it astonish you to know the people have wondered about switching from limit to NL before? Or that some of them have even started threads on the topic?

10/20 in NL denotes blinds, 10/20 in limit denotes stakes.

Yup, but when a 10/20 NL player says they're winning at 10BB/100 they're referring to blinds, if I'm correct, so the winrates would then be equivalent... 3BB/100 at 10/20 NL = 3BB/100 at 10/20 limit... $60 per 100 hands... or is this false?

Generally NL results are denoted as PTBB/100 within the 2P2 community. At the 2000NL games (10/20 blinds) Poker Tracker will recognize a "BB" (read "Big Bet" not "Big Blind") as 2x the big blind, or $40. So when someone refers to their win rate at 2000NL being 5PTBB/100, they're winning $200/100 hands. Its rather important to say whether you mean PTBB/100, or BigBlinds/100. I think that's right...

PS. Either way James ran hot and played well, and I'm jealous. Congrats.

That's why you don't see my jumping into NL with a big chunk of my roll.

I'm pretty sure that James stated that he did not exactly risk a "big chunk" of his roll. In fact, he said that he was way the f over-rolled for 2000NL.

If he's playing 300/600 limit, lets say he's "taking a shot". As he said in his interview, just taking 50-100BB's up to the next level to give it a try is acceptable. So lets be generous and say that he only allotted 50BBs. That's $300K that he is willing to dance with. I doubt that a guy with his head on straight is gonna put himself into this situation with < than that, and you can bet that he has more than just that "shot" sitting around.

Now lets assume he plays super LAG with high variance. In NL, we judge our BR management by buy-ins to our game of choice. In his case, 1 buy-in = $2K. Someone out there will say that high variance needs a BR of 30+ buy-ins. $60K. That's not that much in his position.

So I think that you need to realize that although James is a "NL novice", this is not even close to a significant portion of his BR. And I am guessing that was a very important part of his success.

I'm pretty sure that 50BBs at 300/600 is not $300k.

Hey Kane, that is true, how much would you consider reraising if you had the inclination that your opponent did not have a hand that he really wanted to see a flop with? I'm asking seriously, these are the sorts of things I haven't really gotten a firm grasp on.
