I see 20 buy-ins being recommended for a NL bankroll. Im thinking that to be safe, I will use a 23 buy-in strategy. When I have 23 buy-ins for the next higher limit I move up. If I drop 3 buy-ins after moving up, I move down and rebuild. Im thinking that 3 buy-ins should give me a pretty good shot at the next higher limit.

I recently had to cash out most of my bankroll, hence the reason to have a plan. I have made some arrangements that will allow for an outside deposit to get me back in the game. Before cashing out I was grinding hands at the stars $5FR game and doing well. I made the jump to the $10 game and quickly made just as much as I had at the lower game. Im thinking that with 23 buy-ins for $10FR I should have plenty of loot to keep me in business.

My goal is to get up to $575 and jump to the $25FR games. I plan on playing at UB where I have $240 in bonus loot waiting to be cleared. Playing 2500-3000 hands per month Im thinking I can clear about 10-15 dollars in bonus per month in addition to anything that variance allows me to win.

Making another outside deposit may take a while so Im going with a safe plan that keeps me in the game while hopefully allowing me to move up rather quickly. You guys see anything that I should change or adjust?

As far as UB, I like the software and bonus can be cleared at the limits I will be playing. As always, thanks for any ideas or suggestions.

5 buyins would probably a better shot taker imo. so i'm thinking 25.

Looks good to me.

If there are sites where bonuses clear more quickly, I would play those. Bonuses are HUGE HUGE HUGE at low levels.

I'm not sure where to suggest. Tribeca maybe.

But if you're happy with UB and don't want any feedback on that part of your decision, then all I have to say is: looks good, stick with it, and good luck.

Get OUTTA UB!!!!! Tribecca, Ongame...something other than UB. (Not FTP either). Chase bonuses...and Tribecca is a great option because K3nt is right.

Your plan sounds solid. Stick to it and you should be fine.

I think you should run away from UB!! That place is a rock garden and the bonus clears too damned slowly.

Bonuswhore. As k3nt said, the bonus are too good to not get them.

I'm more inclined to lean towards having a 50% increase, rather than a 15%. Having 30 bi's probably will suit you better than 23. But I don't play a lot of NL, and I tend to be a touch conservative with my BR (at times... not these past weeks )

Where is the Ongame 35% rebate deal?

It was pokespoker. I never heard of them but it seems solid so far. Some posters had good coments about CS at 2+2.
