How long is it gonna take me to build a roll from 1/2 to 5/10? Assume I am one of the top players in my player pool, so I should have a very high hourly at 1/2 and 2/5. Planning on moving somewhere where I don't know anyone and put in 60+hrs a week

It was a joke, but it really isn't a bad answer. Starting from 1/2 and if you are a winner and put in lots of volume you could be playing 5/10 at the end of a year.

way too long. as soon as I have 5k I'm taking 5/10 shots. seems way more reasonable to run good and make 20k in a few weeks than to grind it out at llsnl where no one ever folds for hundreds of hours

If the bolded were true, you would be able to answer your own question.

But, yeah, 10bb/hr is a good rate. So put in 2000hrs at 1/2NL, and before taxes and expenses you'd have $40k. 40 100bb BI plenty for 5/T.

Keep your expenses low.

Doesn't just have to be at 1/2. I can play 2/5 also, so if i were to wait until I had 40k, it shouldn't take 2000hrs

Might as well wait until you have 1k and go to 5/10.

How do you know you are the top player in your room?

Even if you are, how did you prove that to your self?
Where is all the money you made along the way?

If you dont want our answers, why did you ask?
Shot taking at 2/5 seems fine at 3k if you are not relying in the money to live.
Making 2/5 your game of choice should not happen until you have 6k - 8k. 10k would be safer.

why wouldn't everyone here be trying to break into 5/10 asap by aggressively shot taking unless your legit at the casino for the lolz and recreation. who cares if you go busto. just crank out the hours at the low stakes to make up for aggressively shot taking

Not sure this belongs in this thread, but anybody do a 2 buy-in stop loss for the day or something like that. I have a tendency to play when I am too tired and/or distracted and I try to push through it only to lose multiple buy-ins.

Yes I think it is a great idea for most people to have a stop-loss

You should increase/decrease your stop-loss as you see fit

I use -300bb trailing stop, as I frequently top up.

g/l playing your 'A' game after losing ~500bb in a live session. if there is some donating whale and you are just running bad, then its a different story. even then I think most people will struggle.
imo 200bb in way too conservative unless you are playing <2hrs.

Well I mean that's pretty much what it comes down to. It's pointless to ask a question then say lol when you get an answer that you don't like.

Definitely have to have stop loss. I adjust mine.depending on up or down swinging. More money I have the higher my stop. The less money I have the lower.

If you have to ask about a stop loss, then you need one.
No seriously.

One of the reasons that its good to establish a stop loss is that for the vast majority of players, when you lose a bunch of money, your play changes.

So, you shold just stop playing.

If you can sit here and say that you are playing thesame when down 300bb that you are when you are even or +300bb then there's no reason to have a stop loss.
But if that's the case, you wouldn't be asking this question.



So, yes, stop after 2 buy ins.
And if you're not playing better than 8/9 other people at the table after you lose you first buy in, maybe hav ae 1bi stop loss...

I have a stop loss of 250bbs. I find this number to be the best because it allows for topping up but also for a complete 100bb buy in if I get coolered out of the first one. When I had a 200bb stop loss if I was coolered after topping up on the first buy in I was short of max on the second.

As you become better with dealing with tilt I think you can continue to increase that amount.
