Message: [QUOTE="rowhousepd, post: 1260233, member: 56767"] I know there are threads about bankroll management, but I had a question about my specific situation. To re-cap first.... There are a few guidelines I've seen out there for Holdem BRs:[LIST=1] [*]Go up a level when your BR reaches [B]500x [/B]BB, and go down if you drop below [B]300x [/B]BB. (This is by far the most common suggestion.) [*]Don't go up unless you've won at least [B]100BB[/B][I] at that limit[/I]. [*]Play for at least [B]100 hrs[/B] ([I]total [/I]hrs, meaning multitabling counts cumulatively towards your hrs) at your level before moving up. [*]Your BB/100 should be at least +[B]3[/B] or better. [*]All of the above.[/LIST]So here's my situation: I came into about $1,500 out of nowhere lately :) and decided [I]not [/I]to buy some new electronic gadgets or something stupid, but to invest it in this new, fun hobby of mine... well at least for now, until I see how things turn out. I am fairly new to poker (only playing recreationally w/ friends) and have been playing online for a while at mostly at micro limits. I've been winning pretty consistently (def over 3BB/100), since I originally started at the lowest .02-04 limit, and I've been very slow & cautious about at moving up in the micros. According to suggestion #1 above (the one I've seen most often) I could [I]in theory [/I]afford to play $2-$4 right now, but I truly don't think I'm ready for that level and would likely get beaten up. I don't want to see my bankroll disappear quickly, so I'd rather be ultra-cautious and start from the ground up. So my questions is, for someone like me who has a bankroll which probably far exceeds the stakes I'm skilled enough to play at this point, what guidelines should I follow? And if/when I reach the point where I'm playing within that 300 to 500x BB level, how should I proceed from there? Are suggestions #2-4 (above) worth obeying instead? Or perhaps in conjunction with #1 as well? Thanks. [/QUOTE]
