skipping 100nl is a terrible idea imo esp not being rolled
Seems there was a miscommunication as others have mentioned about this.
I will give my reasoning to each of your 3 points as to why i decided to take this $5k shot at $200nl
1. Yes i was beating $50nl/pl for a decent amount plus i have had previous experience at $200 in the past and feel im a better player now to try it again than i was in my previous attempts.
2. $100nl isnt a pointless level but as i am comfortably rolled to play both $100 and $200nl, i felt that i would work harder and play better if i felt i was taking a 'substantial' step up. Im sure the players at $100 are better than the ones at $50 but i wanted to have to focus and concentrate 100% and i feel i will do that at $200 more so than at $100.
3. I agree 100% with you that $5k isnt enough to play $200nl if $5k is your entire roll. As my roll is somewhat larger than that i felt that 25 buyins was an amount i was willing to lose in taking a 'shot' and if it didnt work my roll would be such that i could return to my regular games and be in a position to comfortably play. If i lose the $5k i will chalk it up to experience and move on. Also just because i gave myself $5k does not mean that i have to lose it all to stop the shot. If i feel i am not playing the level well then i will stop when i reach that point.
Hope this clears it all up.
As for todays results
+$400 in 5000 hands with about $110 in rakeback earned too.
Certainly had some spots where i felt uncomfortable but played ok.
