5/10nl then £500

cleaverjim

Right im setting myself a new target,Im going to start with £100 bankroll so will play 10% on 5/10nl,My aim is to get to $200 then play 10/20 and so on until i get past the 20/40 level ,To reach 25/50 level i think it will take a few months of ups n downs but i hope to get there by end of Jan.Lets grind away.

this is way too little BR for these levels mate. Trust me when i say i have £130 in account and i wont even play NL8 yet, and im hardly a BR nit. I recommend if your doing this to start at NL4. 10 buy ins just doesnt allow much movement. One bad session and youve done a large chunk of your roll.

AMYBR

Agree.  BRM is the weakest part of my game. 

If your going to get one thing right, make it your BRM.  NL4 gives you a lot more room and this in itself will help your game.

If you dont feel like you'll take nl4 serious enough, maybe start at £200 to play nl8/10

DrSharp

Totally agree. £100 is way too small for NL10, crikey i had to have over £250 to have a go at NL10 due to the fact that a bad session could really put a dent in your roll.

£100 = NL4

£160 = NL8

£200 = NL10

£400 = NL20

Thats the absolute minimum! If you multi table then you need to be even more careful. Try and keep no more than 5% of your roll in play at any one time.

I know you will read this and think it is majorly nitty but if you rush things then ultimately you will end up busto if you play above your level too soon.

The other thing i would recommend against is playing NL10 or NL8 with a short stack, unless you have a really good short stack game!

Grind at NL4 mate until you reach £160. If dont fancy that, i am afraid you will need to be a rock at higher levels with that roll or maybe deposit more so you have a better cushion to sit back on.

My point was and is can it be done with 10% of your roll!! I usually play 15/30 so have ample for bank roll but want to see if i can get £500 with £100 so ie 10% roll.

depends on your confidence and  ability (and luck). if you wanna play with 10 bis go for it. if your playing 2/3/4 tables maybe drop down to what you "should" be playing and have 1 bigger one open as well. good luck

Ok, thats fine. You know the risks involved with 10xBI's so its your challenge. Are you keeping this updated as it will be interesting to see how you get on? Are you planning on 'nitting up' with such a smallish roll or are you just going with your normal game?

Anyways, good luck.

You can do fine with just 10 buyins to start out but I would suggest grinding up a few more for when you up the level

No as of tomoz just only be on 5/10 think i will nit up for a few weeks ,And yes i will update every couple of days.Ty,

Good luck mate, but just as long as you realise you can play 100% perfect poker and still lose so with 10 BI's one bad session and you're down to 7 another which can happen and it's just 5 left. Not sure how your mind works with regards to tilt etc but if I knew I only had 5 BI's left I don't think I'd be playing my A-game as I'd have that fear of busto just round the corner.

best of luck jim. I didnt realise the levels you where playing. I actually found a very soft NL10 table last night (i woke up at 5am so decided to play for a hour to tire myself out a little better) finnished £15 up myself.

Youll find NL10 is different to wha your used to at NL30, i remember Dohhhh saying NL10 and 20 where his most hated levels and a others agreed.

You obviously know the risks and i hope what was all said was taken in the right manner rather than preeching.


best of luck ill follow closley

Aggressive bankroll strategy is great if your willing to try it but only if you are disciplined enough to move back down to rebuild when/if you have a bad spell rather then ploughing on at the same level you lost on.

tbh i dont like these levels as i feel players are very loose as its low stakes, its great if the hands hold up but i rekon if i get out of 10/20 level ie £300 i will acheive my goal.

Good comment,What i am doing is always keeping 10% of my roll so if im on £230 and drop to £100 i will be back on 5/10 and so on.
