Poker plan.

meh, its not anything but the fact that you just need to get better at poker. I wouldn't skip 50 nl, there are a lot of lessons to be learned there along the way. I wouldn't enter 100 nl with only 20 buyins as well unless i was confident that i had a huge edge. I would go at least never lower than 30

Fine.

20 buy-ins not enough....

i got news for you, 100nl is harder than 50nl

Grrr, fine. I made it this far with decent discipline...can't stop now.

nl50 is swingy for you because you arent a winning player
nl100 is a much bigger jump

20 buyins is fine if you could beat the previous stake at a good rate

skipping nl50 = retarded

sorry but its true

20 buyins isnt enough. You will end up playing 5nl with me. PokerStars just proved to me you can lose 28 buyins in 5 hours and that's with getting your money in good and just getting killed by every 1, 2 and 3 outter. I got my 28 buyins raped away so fast, that towards the end, i had 88 and flop 282, and i was scared to bet beacuse i knew i'd lose, i bet and lost my last buyin. And now i'm playing 5nl because i lost 28 buyins at 25nl. I have 11 bucks in my roll and i refuse to rebuy.

Please dont go to a game with only 20 buyins.but when it happens, come find me playing 5nl (6max). You can grind pennies and cry with me. It only takes 2 months to build your roll back to $1200 for 25nl. That's sick to start over again.

my bankroll requirments just went up to 50 buyins for each level before i start it.
Just bee careful where you don't end up like me who didn't have a big enough roll.

well after two years of playing the 60buyin rule works best for me. its only now that i dont panic at all when i hit a downswing, ironically, 2bi for me is enough to quit the session, then play again when you're feeling/thinking better about poker. when you're overrolled poker is just sooo easy to forget about, even after a losing session. it is the ONLY solution for players like me who panic easily when running bad and tilt like crazy easily.

FR 50nl is exactly the same as 100nl. i think 50nl is even harder, people are more underrolled and cautious. 100nl has more aggro players who make moves a lot. lots of shortstacks too than 50nl, which is just full of fucking regs all the time.

1. move from stars
2. profit

lol skip 50nl to go to 100nl is like putting a petrol-dildo up your ass and then sitting on a campfire

the smaller the edge, the bigger the swings over a large sample size

if you cannot beat 50 FR you cannot beat 100 FR , period

and no, 50 fr and 100fr are not the same at all and i can speak from a decent sample size ;o~


lol @ pokerdoc

50nl is the 'swing' limit, and 100nl is the 'running good' limit.

good luck!

The Huhu, fwiw i think the skill level at 100nl is maybe slightly better than 50nl if anything. A lot of it at first is just mental with everything being doubled. Ive played with you just a little and thought you were a solid player - maybe a little tilty. I dont think 25nl is necessary if you can just tell yourself to control the bad decisions.

And i agree. If you multitable 6+ at a time, 20 buyins is not enough.

Good luck.

I don't know if you're serious or not because if I recall you hate my guts .
