Re: 2-4NL, will i ever establish myself at this limit??
[ QUOTE ]
Dont play nl400 unless you have 30 (or absolutely min. 20) buy-ins because I think you will think to much about the money worth if you do... [/ QUOTE ] I disagree. I think it depends on the person. I think the 10 buy in rule is just a general guidline. Some people have no fear of money and play with just 2-3 buy ins. I'm not suggesting that for most but I dont think it is a must to have 30 buy ins for the 400NL game. For 2 reasons. 1 its not that tough and two you can always move back down. Also, The biggest factor is your value of money. If you feel uncomfortable putting your stack at risk your playing too high of limit regardless of how many buy ins you have.

[/ QUOTE ] 15 is fine but 30 buy ins? That is excessive in my mind. Again, that is why i say its all personal preference. Also, it depends on your motivation for playing. I play for fun and for the competition. I have other income coming in. I have no aspirations to turn pro although I do tracks wins and losses just for personal information and see what leaks I have and take losing seriously (again not for the money but because im competetive). For me, having 15 buy ins is not neccassary. If I lose I reload if I win I cash out. I do agree with you if you this is your only form of income. But like I said the bankroll thing in my oppinion is just a guidline and to each there own.....

Move up rationally.
Continue to play 1/2 as your primary game. Each week take a day and play 2/4 buy in short $100-$150 this will help you play more aggressively and make it more difficult to experience large losses. Do not try to move up completely with 10 buy-ins if you use this method you can get comfortable with the game and not risk your bankroll.

Re: 2-4NL, will i ever establish myself at this limit??
I like this analysis, Grifter. I mean, look, right now 2-4 for you should be a learning experience. If you look around games - especially on Fulltilt, where I play, you are quite likely to find a game where 3 or even 4 players are in there with ~$200. Good luck, man.

Re: 2-4NL, will i ever establish myself at this limit??
You need a bigger bankroll.
I played my way up to $5K at 1/2 NL, playing very short-handed (HU or 3 handed, mostly), and dumped a majority of my roll in the space of a week losing coin-flips and LAG-type pushes. I dropped down to NL$100 and decided the next time I make it up to a $3,500 roll, I'd buy in half at NL200 HU or SH, so as to avoid bluffs and huge river decisions. I made an absolute killing and now have more than 30 buy ins at NL200, where I now buy in full. It sucks to move down in limits. But I think theGrifter's advice is right on. You're posting about a tiny swing - you're clearly underbankrolled.
