Moving up

October 4, 2010, 7:49 am

Alright, some or most of you will shake your head I know.  I really broke protocol as far as bankroll management is concerned. 

I am moving officially to the $25 buy ins.  Just got sick of playing the $10.  Up and down up and down! Like a yo-yo.  The part where I went wrong was I cheated a bit and played 800 or so hands at the $50 tables.  I just played 1 table at a time and found it to be much easier than playing 4 tables at the 10$ buy in.

 

I know it was the wrong thing to do, but it worked out.  I was getting some great reads, made some good plays and won some cash.  No real serious bad beats either.  In the end on The $50 tables I am 20.51bb/100.  so that will leave me enough in my roll to start playing the $25 tables.  Even still, I think I will treat myself to a $50 buyin once in a while.  It felt good, but kinda wrong at the same time.  Like eating chocolate cake when you are trying to lose a few pounds.

 

I won't make a habit out of it though:)

  • Danger of doing that is when you have a losing session on the 25NL, you'll try and make it up on the 50NL (because you've been running good there) and when it goes bad.. you can blow your whole bankroll! So be carefull!

  • Ya thanks guys. I know exactly what you mean. I am resolved to play it cool for a good while. If need be I will drop back to $10

  • if you dont mind reloading when u go broke i dont see why you shouldnt continue your poker career at 25nl. U have plenty of time to learn the skills you need before you go higher!
