This day ended good for me, with a $8.25 profit. I started pretty good, winning an all-in with A set. The rest of the day went smooth and won in one table something around $12 while the other table i was playing i ended with -3$.

All in all, im feeling pretty comfortable with NL 10, being my first stakes. Right now im going to read lp.net to see how much bankroll do i need to have before moving to the next stakes.

peace out.

20 buy ins or whatever you need to feel comfortable. Smart players won't move up until they feel like they're absolutely dominating the stakes they're currently at.

I think you should leave these blogs to LP.net ... It only makes sense.

your bankroll should always be atleast 20 buyins for the given stakes

example, you would need a $500 bankroll to play at .10/.25 tables

I've recently been getting into poker and reading lp.net as well... So far over the past 3 months i'm at -50 in cash games after 10k hands. I was up to 185 in the positive at one point. I got pretty frustrated after losing it all and have been playing $2 heads up with good results.

I got 3.40 dollars by ending high in two of those big freeroll tournaments

Now I can play for money on those low stakes tables. But I shouldn't be that good so I think I wait for a bit. I can lose all of it pretty fast and then I need to get lucky in such a huge satellite and then a huge main tournament again.

I donno if I should play limit with such a small stack. But there's no .1/.2 cents limit on pokerstars. Only .2/.4. Average pots there are already a big part of my total amount.


A big sit 'n go for 1 cent would have been cool. But they are all much much larger

There are plenty of .10cent 360 man tournies on pokerstars. NL though. They also have some much larger .10c ones under the standard tourny section. I don't know about PL/FL... NL FTW?
