knowing when to move up limits

tstimpson

hi, i've been with sky for about a month know and have been predominantly playing cash.
i have made about £30 on top of my original £10 deposit. would this be enough to move up limits or shall i stay at 2p/4p for a while longer

Assuming that the max sit down is 4 quid then i would say no to moving up as i believe you need at least 20 max pull ups at any level.

sorry for being amateur but whats a max pull up?

Definately wouldn't move up then.

I wouldnt use the £10 buy in at NL4 as a guide to amount of buy ins required to move up, I would just stick with the 100bb rule, so £4 would be what you sit down with.

Even so, it is far to early to move up, as you should be looking to have 20 buyins of £4 which is £80.  But that is just a guide, everyone is different.

To put it into perspective, if you move up you will have 4 buyins at NL10 as your roll which isnt really enough

ok thanks for the help.
i think ill work my way to 80 then haha

i will use that as a basic strategy.
cheers, tom

I think OMahoneyO means you should have a bankroll of £80 to play the 2p/4p tables - 20 buy ins @ £4. 

To play at 5p/10p you ldeally need at least £200 in your roll - 20 buyins @ £10.  Some players argue 25 - 30.  The idea is to protect your bankroll when you experience the inevitable downswing that WILL happen.  If you move up to
5p/10p with only £80 or 8 buyins, a couple of bad sessions can see you go busto.

All the best

thanks restormel.

i am running well at 2/4 which is nice for BR

i'm more than happy to stick to them tables until my roll is healthy enough and i feel ready to move up.
cheers again, tom
