When I have 250BB at the higher level, I start taking shots when I see a good game - which for me is tables with an average pot of 6BB+. As my roll grows, I play the higher limit more frequently and finally make the switch full time when I have 500BB+
These numbers are probably a little more conservative than they need to be for two reasons:
- I play six max which has more variance
- My only other source of income is my student stipend (27k/yr). I can't reload a couple of grand to keep playing 5/10 that easily and I don't really ever want to have to step down in limits and go back to playing 3/6 and 2/4
I like the taking shots philosophy because it makes you more comfortable with more money on the table when you finally make the switch full time. Back when I was playing 1/2, I switched to 2/4 a couple of times after building my roll and had to switch back both times because I played too conservative and leaked a lot of chips off.Statistics: Posted by redhouse — Tue Nov 15, 2005 5:02 pm
