thanks bob, yeah if i didnt get aresponseIwas going to move in at 30BIs,Im really aiming to be a BR nit in the future

Go C9!!!

Asked this before, no one answered though .........

I am rolled for 20 BIs for 50nl after another awesome day at 25nl...What are the suggestions for BIs to move into 50nl comfortably at my skill level????

With all due respect... I say go for it.

Take shots when you see a really juicy table at 50NL. So if there's like a 60% seen flops table with large average pots, and full stacked players, go ahead & sit.

You really shouldn't just overnight become a 50NL player. You should mix in a few of the best 50NL tables, and just get used to it. I still play some 50NL tables when 100NL is dry.

 

[KingCurtis]

solid advice C9 thanks man

Actually I just had a thought. We've had some great videos from CC members about all different types of limits/plays/etc etc. The majority of our videos have been from really great players as instructional videos showing how they play and there thought processes. What about a video from someone who is actually struggling to cope with variance, the limit there playing, self confidence, mindset etc etc. I'm sure there's a lot of players who suffer this at some point in their play but actually a video of someone who is struggling rather than someone who is on a heater or whatever, may be more educational with the right discussion and post video analysis.

Any thoughts?

I could probably do this at 200NL. I still get killed there a lot and suffer from super FPS.

Another +100$ day at 25nl, im thinking I should def stay at 25nl and just hit the 50nl jucy tables here and there for a while...but i cant win like this every day

 

[cAPSLOCK]

Here's what I think for buyins for levels:

10nl/25nl : 20 buyins
50nl : Move up at 30 buyins, move down at 20
100nl: Move up at 35 buyins, move down at 25
200nl: Move up at 40 buyins, move down at 30
400nl: Move up at 3 buyins, move down at 0

You are just copying Vanq.

Getting tilted players from the stud 8 table to play NLHE heads up cash with you is so +EV.

I've done this a few times and i always pause for a min after and admire my cat like reflexes, i've knocked a can of coke off the table and caught it with my feet before, didn't spill a drop on my mums new and quite expensive carpet I like held it there in awe for about 5 mins after to fully revel in my ninja catching skillz

Don't worry about it. Moving down is a major skill required to be able to move up.
