moving up the levels

Leyster

i have been playing on the site for a year but normally play stt and now started playing cash at 2p/4p i have 30 quid in my account as everytime i have more than 40 i reduce it straight back to 30 as as soon as i get a bit of money in the account bad beats start to happen every hand. Well my first 4 days i played about an hour and a half a day and was 15 quid up but today i lost 15 quid in an hour because awful players were calling me all in pre with 3,5 and 3,4 when i had aces and hitting full houses on the flop, typical sky to be honest but should i be moving up the levels to try and get away from these players (as poor players seem to get all the luck in the world against me and the half decent player who dont go all in pre with 3,4 i can outplay during a hand) or should i try and take advantage until i feel comfortable going up but then leaving myself open to these constant bad beats that make me want to leave the site?

Hi

Firstly, there is no 'typical sky when you get a bit of cash in your account'.  Break that thinking straight away because it will no doubt impact on your thinking and play.

Now, as for moving up, in my opinion, (unless you have enough money offline to reload), you should never use more than 5% of your BR, so that would answer your question.

I cannot stress more, if you can't beat the 2//4p level then you won't beat higher levels.  You WANT people calling you all in with 35 preflop and if that is happening and you aren't beating the game, then sorry but you won't win higher up.

Your action for me:
Don't withdraw, leave the money in and see how well you can build it. 
If it gets to £200 then move to 4/8p.    When it gets to £250 then move to 5/10p etc etc.  If you lose, move back down the stakes

It is the only way to move up safely without busting

So your saying going all in pre with aces and losing to 3,4 etc is somehow my fault? surely no one is that thick but yeah i have taken off a good £1,500 from stt so i have enough from poker but when i did let it grow up to about 150 i went on a 25 game losing streak losing with aces and kings etc i dont think its like typical sky but i think they try to even it out to keep the poor players interested

DOHHHHHHH

I like how you've disguised an "it's rigged post" by trying to make it look like you're asking for advice.

I think you should have more confidence in your own ability and leave enough in your account to play 15p/30p

The highlighted claim about your stt profit is a lie btw.

No I am saying that AA v 3,4 etc is what you want, you will win far more than you lose.

Doohhhhh is right though, I took the time to write a thought out reply and you aren't interested.  This will get moved to area 51 as soon as a mod sees it.

You want people calling your all ins when holding aces.

Over time you will win more hands and more money than those who get lucky every now and then.

The standard of play at 4p/8p isn't any different to that at 2p/4p tbh, except you can raise a little less.

5p/10p is a tiny bit better, you can raise 3x pre flop and people will fold or you thin the field out nicely.

To say it's easier to make money the higher up the levels you go is laughable tbh. If my level of tables aren't busy then i'll open up some 2p/4p tables and it feels great to be able to get people calling your flush draws when they're holding bottom pair and no kicker.
