whats stakes did you play at this bankroll?

koadyawn · Oct 8, 2008

I currently have a BR of $650 at stars and still play the .02/.05 NL at stars lol..sometimes the 10NL as well but just wanted some insight on what other players play with that BR..

WVHillbilly · Oct 9, 2008

NL25 but play whatever you're comfortable with.

KingCurtis · Oct 9, 2008

imo your being a BR nit, if my roll was at 650$ Id be playing 10nl

koadyawn · Oct 9, 2008

yeh thought so..I think from here on out Ill be playing 10nl and once I hit around 1000 or above ill take my shot at 25nl ..yes im a wuss

roundcat · Oct 9, 2008

Nah, you're not a wuss... it's much better to play below what your bankroll allows and be comfortable with it rather than moving up just because you can and worrying about losing your money. Playing scared can only hurt your game.

SeanyJ · Oct 9, 2008

Probably 25NL, at least 10NL while taking shots at 25NL.

Actually I have like a $1000 BR and I'm playing 10NL right now but I'm trying to teach myself how to 24 table without going broke in the process

Yeh thats kind of how i feel though..all the money i earned in 5nl was hard earned and those earnings go twice as fast at 10nl going up or down..

24 tables??? kinda crazy ...when I go past 10 I find it harder when I get all these good hands and sometimes forgetting to raise..

But just took a shot at 10nl and ran pretty bad..shoved with AAs and got called by JJ hitting his set on later street

...and so forth

My bankroll on stars is currently $275 and I am only playing Limit Holdem $3/$6. I enjoy it and feel comfortable there. That would be my suggestion.

Cilderr · Oct 9, 2008

650$ Nl10 or Nl25, if you have playe Nl5 then go play Nl10 and if you are comfortable with Nl10, then move up to Nl25. I dont recommand Nl5 to Nl25.

gnomo · Oct 9, 2008

try out the NL10 first, when you feel confortable jump to the NL25.

10crow10 · Oct 9, 2008

play at whatever level you are happy with. My rule of thumb for cash games is that i cannot buy in to a table for any more than 10% of my BR, so in your case that would be $65 max buy in.

Monoxide · Oct 9, 2008

$650? truthfully, 50nl. My brm sucks though

reb0202 · Oct 9, 2008

my roll is $6.50

LOL no for real though I usually have around 70 or 80 bucks and my wife and I play the 3.30 and 4.50 sit and goes we mainly play for fun lets face it those sites aren't in the business of writing checks for all of us big time winners ya know. But hay play where you are comfortable it isn't like playing on line poker is paying your bills.:smile:

Mortis · Oct 9, 2008

I'd follow the advice of Chris Ferguson, and don't play anything above 5% of your bankroll.

5% of $650 is $32.50. But as Hillbilly has said.. play with what you're comfortable with. Personally.. I wouldn't go higher than 25NL with that bankroll. I'd probably feel more comfortable at 10NL.

maspowerj · Oct 9, 2008

Nl25 is good

When I had $650 I was also playing 50nl already

But I had no bankrollmanagement and it feels good at that moment

When you are not scary for losing some money you can get try higher limits

JamesGodfrey · Oct 10, 2008

With a $650 bankroll I feel you should be playing:

15c/30c Ring Games
$20 Sit and Gos
$15 Multi-Table Sit and Gos
$10 Multi-Table Tournaments

ABorges · Oct 10, 2008

You should have at the very least 20 buy ins for cash games, 60 for SnGs and 100 for MTTs. I'm more comfortable with around 40 for cash though, and it's totally fine if you play with even more than that. Play whatever you feel you should be playing, as long as you're not spitting in the face of bankroll management.

dude look up bankroll management like quickly before you go busto. Your not even rolled for .50/1 never mind 3/6. At 3/6 you can lose 72 bucks in a hand, that is a large percentage of your bankroll.

As for op, at your stage i was playing 10nl looking to get 750 before moving up to 25nl

Bigsmak · Oct 11, 2008

I hate BR Management.

Hence I have no money in my accounts.. Just takes 1 bad day to wipe you out!

It sucks.. but you have to be sensible!
