playing for couple reasons, one is for the pure enjoyment of it and yes any level would be enjoyable to me. I basicly want to improve though, I picked the numbers though because I think they are high enough that they pass the rush rate for the level. Winning $200 at .05/.10 should be enough to decide if I'am actully beating that level, $400 should be enough to know if Iam beating that level etc etc etc. I would like to move up and be stable at around 1/2 level but dont want to go up there until Iam positive that I'am good enough to sit there. Right now im 99.9% sure iam not good enough to sit there. I thought this would let me improve my play and work my way up to that level and basicly work on good bankroll managment. Think Iam correct in this or am i way off? as for losing the buy-ins if I make them off a lower level I would be ok losing them as long as I drop down the level once I lose them. also a big reason I want to do this is by the time I get to a beatable level like .25/.50 I will have a giant bankroll for that level. I mean if I do this and start with 1,000 by the time i get to .25/.50 I will have $1,600 which is like 31 buy-ins

One man’s opinion.
Again, I’d focus on the most money you can make from any given table.
My local card room spreads 3/6 and 4/8 games. The other night, the 3/6 game was significantly juicer than the 4/8, thanks to one particular maniac donator who seemed intent on spewing his chips. So I requested a ‘reverse move’ from 4/8 to 3/6 to try and take advantage, even though (at least I like to think) that I’m properly rolled and able to play the 4/8 game. Here’s where PokerTracker and data mining can really help. I’m sure there are some 1/2 NL games you can beat. But catch a real tough .25/50 game, and it would be easy to drop a few buy-ins. I’d be worried less about specific numerical benchmarks, and more about your skill level vs. the rest of any given group of players, and more importantly emotional state at all times. Tilt at .25/.50 is much worse than solid play at 1/2, though I’ll grant you that tilt at 1/2 is worse than tilt at .25/50.

k
I totally agree with that but how do you know how good you are unless you start from the begining? I have jumped around levels soo much that I have no clue what level of game I can beat which is why I want to start at lowest level and work my way up. I picked the money values as a base to know If Iam actully beating that level. I totally understand what you are saying and Iam not argueing with you at all , but without doing it this way how else would you know at what level you belong? I can afford to buy-in to some higher level and be bankrolled for it but thought this might also help any disapline issues that I still have. |

If you started a new PT database this should obviously help you to see where your playing level is at. You can objectively look and see what your results are. You could meet the goals to move up each time (eventually), but you may not be able to tell which level you are most successful at, if you simply keep moving up. Once you meet one of your goals to move up to next level, really look at your results. See what your bb/100 is etc. Then when you are about to move up again, look and see the differences. You may not realize that it took you 50% longer to reach the next level (or that you did it a little quicker). Also, be honest about how you have felt during play at each level. If you remember feeling really anxious when re-raising w/ AKs, then maybe you should move back down a level, and just try to crush it for all its worth.
my  Man, I should take my own advise. I am not even using PT now, since I got a new computer. GL |
