NL10 buy in amount?
hi, i hope someone can help me with this.
I was hoping to move upto NL10 some time in the future. Is there anyone who grinds this cash level and could reccomend a buy in amount that is deemed acceptable for this?
I would say £300+, would i be right?
When/if i decide to step upto NL10, i will be willing to spend ALOT of time analysing play, studying the game, etc (but thats for another day), anyone who regulary plays these levels would they be able to also comment on the general style of play there. Is it relatively solid there? (i thought with the tv tables starting there, you'd get a few hopefuls about).

The TV tables are great because you can sit deeper (200bb instead of 100bb), so if you're playing a fish, they're sat deeper too usually, and you can force them into making bigger, more expensive mistakes. You've also got a Deep Stack table where you can sit with 250bb, both great to play if you feel you have an edge over your opposition. However, if you plan to sit at either of those tables, be aware of how deeper stacks affect which hands you should and shouldn't play, as well as what hands you want to be getting all your money in with pre-flop.
Also be aware that you're playing with 2 BI's or 2.5 BI's if you sit at either of these tables, so it might not be advisable to jump straight in at the 10NL deep stack table.
As for the play style.. Blah, its just as bad at 10nl as 4nl I would say. Majority of players still open limp to much, call down with second pair or worse, go all in with KK just because they feel it should win even though someone clearly has paired the ace on the flop. I mean sure there are some at that level that can play and have some understanding of the game, but for the most part most are still very much learning. I've been playing it for last couple of weeks while testing the software, and its pretty soft in general compared to a lot of other sites at similar buyin amount. I mean example of play you can see below, and this isn't just a one off either.
Had it to hand cus of something else.
£250 should be fine, table selection becomes really important at NL10 because you have NL10 REGS/NL20+ REGS who drop down - so you could find your playing NL30/40 REGS
table selecton is vital
bear in mind that it's only when you get to NL20 you start to play against very capable REGS
So your saying if you can beat NL4, apadpting to NL10 shouldn't be to hard?
yes, but you gotta put more work into identiying the regs
And no, 10nl isn't that hard... Seriously its the same rule at ANY poker table. If you can't spot the fish by the time 10 minutes have past, its you. So play and see how it goes. No point really us telling you how you'll fair as not seen you play.
