    You need to put the hours in at the lower levels Jacko...Iknow u crush them, and ur a good player IMO, playing below your level, which is why you do well....

    But as you move up the levels, it becomes a completely different game.

    Im not saying you wont be able to do it, but to try you need to have put the hard work in at the lower levels so that your bankroll can support you at the higher levels, long enough for you to find out if you are good enough......

    I aint a pro, or play for a living or owt, but Ive spoken to players who do....on and off this site.

    Ive moved from the lower middle stakes (30/40/50 quid tables) up to the higher of the mid stakes,                 (80/100/200 quid tables) and its completely different - I only play them now after midnight, when its not so different......

    You know the score with the bankroll though, move up when you're winning, not when uve been losing.

    Hope some pros reply on here....with advice, cud use some myself

    poker is my main income.  not just on here tho but also on other sites/live.

    you need a very deep roll to play on a serious basis as without it you can go skint very easy.

    i'm talking 150/200BIs

    ...Then you ought to give serious consideration to quitting, whilst at the zenith of your career. I know I would.

    yes of course it depends in the type of game you are playing in tho.

    people can make it worth with 25/30 but all it takes is one bad week and you could be busto.  when you are multi-tabling it is not unusual to have minus 10 BI sessions.

    its great to see i am not the only one who spews upto 10 buyins on a bad session (only had 2 -10buyin this year and about 6 -5/6 buyin).
    I only keep 35 ish buyins on the site and i withdraw anything over that ammount.
    poker is not my sole income as i have kids and too many overheads and the pressure when playing would be massive and i would not be able to play a good game.
    As scotty said, to turn pro you will need a min of 100 buyin and will need to play at 50nl+

    My views on BR management have changed dramatically over the years I have been playing poker. I like an ultra- conservative approach: at least 500 buyins for the minimum level you are prepared to play and at least 100 buyins for the maximum level you are prepared to play.

    Lol the amount you keep in your poker account is different from your total bankroll as a sum. i don't know why anybody would keep more than 50 buyins in their account at any one time.

    I've always been a nit, when 'the standard' was 20 I wanted 50, and now it's 50+ I want 75+

    Then again I like getting it in lol
