gona keep this quite simple, im being staked at the moment for 5nl 6max.

starting br was $50 and its upto $83ish 4 tabling since i started on sunday.

would like to switch over to 10nl at $100 and maybe 2 table it for a while til i get the hang of it.

move upto 25nl around $400 then 50nl at $1000.

i dont think this is unreal i was beating 5nl for about 15BB/100 over 13k hands before the staking deal.

cardrunners membership sorted and lots of studying will hopefully see me through.

gl to me and luke i will keep this thread updated

you need to sort you BRM out if you want to go far

$100 minimum for NL5

$200 minimum for NL10

$625 minimum for NL25

$1250 minimum for NL50

Seriously having those extra few BI's keeps you playing at a higher stake for longer without having to move down and can save you a few thousand hands at a stake you may have to move down to, to rebuild.

You catch my drift?

BTW fwiw im doing something similar except im not going to grind the whole lot. When I feel im ready im adding to my BR to play higher, instead of wasting time grinding futile stakes.

NL2 - NL25 by september hopefully, so good luck

what site you at?

i get what your saying about under rolling myself but i know i can crush the games and will certainly be prepared to drop down if needs be. i think $100 minimum is way not necessary at 5nl the games are soft enough for a 10 BI plan if you feel confident in it. if i move to 10nl at $100 and lose a couple BIs then i will move back down to 5nl and stay there til i get back to 100.

i feel having a perfect BRM at these low stages will slow me down moving up, and when i get to 10nl and 25nl i will increase the number of BIs before i move up.

i play on stars coz the rake is way better than full tilt. gl to you

but you cant crush variance

im telling you i made the same mistake back at party, but w/e

I think everyone here would advise you to take more care with your BR but obviously you are not patient enough. Please keep us updated as to your progress, your 50% BR down swing will be interesting to hear about.

Tried this w/ 25NL. Trust me, it doesn't work. All you have to do is take one bad beat, go on tilt, and you'll burn away half your roll. Stick to 5NL. Crush it. Play more volume (maybe go with 6 tables). Run your roll up to $200, but start taking shots at 10NL around $175. But only one table. Mix that with a few tables of 5NL. Right now, I have a roll of $550, and what I'm doing is playing 2 tables of 10NL and one of 25NL. If I lose a BI at 25NL, I'm done for the day, and I go back to grinding 4 tables of 10NL. But what this allows me to do is really pay attention to the action at 25NL so that I can develop good reads. As you move higher up, the reads are more and more important.

What "slows you down" is not BRM, it's not putting in enough volume. Set a minimum number of hands per day, and play that number every day. 1k is a nice number. If you're already hitting that, then gfy. Maybe you need to set a higher number.

Either way, OP, take this all fwiw, and above all GL.

I'm also doing this. Playing 5nl currently but out of a $260 roll. Im moving up to 10nl in 15k hands which should take a week or two. I want to have at least $700 before 25nl so that means 10nl will take a while.

OP a couple of folks including myself in the microstakes full ring forum are doing a race to the fiddy challenge. Basically the challenge is to reach a BR for 50nl (1k profit) by June 15. It's a 1 month challenge. Any stakes below 50nl can be played so some are playing 25nl, some are playing 10nl and some even started from 2nl.

Yeah don't take a year. Push it and do it within a month.

wow $50 to 1k in a month would be sick. how long did it take verneer to get from 5nl to 50nl like 3 months?

wouldnt it be easier to do at FR though as its a lot easier to mass table FR so you could put in a lot more volume? or is the emphasis quality of play and moving up quick and not necessarily quantity of volume? am actualy pretty interested in this now!

also ty for the advice guys im guna stay at 5nl til properly rolled for 10nl now i think it would be crazy to egnore good players advice

Update?
