Starting bankroll

[BrianSwa]

Im not sure if I have bankroll for this game im not good in figureing that out when it comes to NL but im in the 25nl games have about $150...Is this enough to handle the swings or am I above my head?

I seem to be handleing the swings but I might just be getting lucky and hitting some hands.

Also dipping into .25/.50 which i just have enough for .

I would say you should set a point that you stop and drop back to the $10 NL or .10/.20 (or .05/.10 if that is all there is). Since you are right on the edge of being at the bankroll for these other games it probably should not be much lower than $100. That way if you lose a little you can drop down and build back up. Then when you get to $150 again take another shot at these games.

Grind away

so im at about $153 right now I shall drop back at $125 since that seems about average.

Bite me??????

gotta move up ladder eventully and as long as I stay in my bankroll and drop down if I lose too much then not really a problem.

Its not like im playing 3/6 or something chip. Now 3 months ago id be at 2/4 with $150.

No, actually you can play .10/.25 or whatever for the rest of your days if you like, there's certainly no one holding a gun to your head.

Well, Aeq said he'd be stupid to not move up, but I disagree with him. I'm in 100% agreement with you. ESPECIALLY for a guy like Brian, who is known to have gambling tendencies (I'll use that word to be nice), I think it would be a great idea for him to never play anything above the microlimits.

We all know that's not going to happen though.

You have 6 $25NL buyins so its not bad.

Im not exactly sure what the # of buyins you need to be bankrolled for each game.

[BrianSwa]

I got 2 $25NL tables and a .25/.50 open which may seem dumb but I can keep up with them and this way I dont get bored and start playing stupid cards.
