Taking shot means not having sufficient BR to play.

Or it could mean it's the first time I've played it... I'm pretty sure after making 15k more I'll be rolled for 5/10. What is sufficiently rolled for 5/10 2k max?

Sufficiently rolled and taking shots are two different things.

Sufficiently rolled means that you can play it on a regular basis.

Taking shots means that you cannot play it on a regular basis but can handle losing few bullets.

Where I live there is an underground weekly 1/2/6 but the buy in is capped at 300$(wtf..). You can rebuy for 500 after your first buy in.

Is taking a shot at such a poorly structured game even worth it?

There is no 2/5 that I know of, closest is a 5hours round trip

I'm just going to assume you are a bankroll nit. And you are getting trolled bc u posted you are $15k away from a 5/T shot. Also 10k isn't a "shot" at 5/T. A shot is like 3-5 BI. But again you are probably a huge BR nit if u need to make $15k more to "take a shot" a 5/T. But that's cool. It's your $

yeah I'm a huge BR nit lol, I think it comes from my online days back in college when I used to play HU nl lol, after tilting off 20bi to one dude in a night I promised myself to always be a br nit...

What is the average BR of someone who is just starting 5/10 ?

Standard is 20bi, so 20k, more if you are buying in deep. You can get by with less obviously if you have a big edge, which is more likely to be the case live, imo

Richard Parker just likes picking on people online. Don't pay him any attention. I have no clue if he acts like this due to inadequacies in his own life because I don't know him, but this tactic has effectively gotten rid of many of the crushing players that used to post here consistently. Most of these break-even bullies had been contained to the chat thread but somehow he has slithered his way out. BTW, don't make my mistake and confuse him with Randal Graves who is a crusher IRL.

The standard calculation for a professional poker bankroll is standard deviation squared divided by hourly winrate. If you're buying 100bb stacks at 2/5 and plan to do the same at the deep 5/10, just double your 2/5 standard deviation and increase the winrate by a few varied reasonable amounts until you reach a perceived equilibrium. If you're planning on buying in deep, quadruple your standard deviation.

Play with this math for 5 minutes and you should have some good ideas of what you need to sit long-term and how many buys you can tank before dropping down again. If you're simply shot taking to find out how comfortable you are, all I can advise is that you keep 75% of the original 2/5 bankroll calculation in reserve and have at it with whatever you've amassed above that amount.

Good luck. I'm chasing you.
