Moving up or adding tables?

Lambert180

I've been thinking recently while I've been playing cash. At the moment, I've moved down to 4NL cos I've been away from the cash tables for a while and wanna get back in the groove but here's my question.

It' suggested that when you get to say £180 ish you move to 8NL because obviously the stakes are doubled and so your profit should be (give or take)....

BUT...

I'm not saying there is a HUGE difference but there is one, so at 8NL and 10NL you still get people playing just as badly as they do at 4NL but there's quite alot less of them than at 4NL so table selection is less of a worry (obviously still not irrelevant though).

So.... bearing in mind I think 4NL is ALOT easier to stack people time and time again, rather than getting to £180 and going to 8NL, I think it might be better to stay at 4NL but double your tables (so go from 4 tables to 8 tables), still in essence doubling your profit but at a level that's got more bad players. Alot of people even drop from 4 tables to 2 tables (for example) when they move up from 4NL to 8NL just for a few weeks to get used to it, so why bother when you could just carry on battering 4NL.

Obviously you can't stay at 4NL forever if you wanna make big money but I think sticking to 4NL and increasing tables more and more would be a better way of getting a tasty BR than same number of tables but going to 8NL.

Don't double the amount....

add 1, then another, then another etc.

U can do whatever u want really as long as you're always learning and improving. 

There's nowt wrong with staying at the same level for 3 years imo ;);)

At around £180, I would say play NL4 but play one table NL8
if you play just x2 NL8 and you get a bad 3-5 bi down session then it really hurts
Move up when your playing well and running good

£200+ mix NL4/8/10

If you get a good start then just carry on, if not go back to NL4

-----

I don't think you should ever just play one level, play the level you beat and mix in NL8/10
Your looking to get off to a good start at the new level

One day you can drop NL4 and play NL8/10/20 and so on

Ok well yeah that is what I meant... not just jumping from 4 to 8, but I mean if you get your BR to £180 and think about moving up, why not go to 5 tables for a week, then 6, then 7 and so on.

I do agree with what Scotty has posted a few times on the forum about how you need a much bigger BR if you're gonna be a multi-table freak, like 20-30BIs is fine for playing 4NL with 2-4 tables, but if you're gonna be playing 8+ you wanna have at lesat 50BIs, at least!

He also says that u shud table select well from whatever levels r available....

So if u got 200 quid pick the best 4/5/6 (however many u wanna play) tables u can find between nl4-nl10 and go with them. 

The important thing is to keep learning off the tables though, need to be getting better all the time. I find watching videos & talking to don about poker r the best way of doing this.

I think this all depends on what ya wanna achieve at the cash tables.As dohh says there is nuffin wrong at all at staying low , crushing it AND still stayin there.

The differance to me is that when you are rolled to move up then you can , AND still play low tables as well , this way you can start gettin info on players at the higher levels without goin broke.

I am only really proper rolled myself to play nl30 max.

This dont mean i play at this level only tho , i will play as low as nl4 sumtimes AND play a bit also at nl8 nl10 nl20 nl30 nl40 nl50 and i have even dabbled in nl100.

All of this has given me valuable experience of diff cash levels.

move up, your game will progress a lot quicker concentrating on less no. of tables and playing against better players. At some point you can add tables but if you focus on doing that too early it could stunt your growth.

im not saying its right lambert but the way i play is either, 4xnl20 or 3xnl30 or 2 xnl40/50 or 1x nl100. this is now but you can change the tables to suit. you might try 4xnl4 or 3xnl8 2x10, 1x nl20. like offshoot says it will gain you experience at higher levels, wont stunt your growth and you wont have to concentrate at too many tables at the levels you you will find harder.  phil
