Double Me Up

Should I stay or should I go ?

October 30, 2007 · 6 Comments

Well I just finished another small session and my bankroll is now over the $800 mark, which means I have 16 buy-ins at $50NL if I wanted to take a shot.Here are my overall stats so far at $25NL and PL (only a few hands at PL):

Number of hands: 7625

Net profit / loss: +$409.10

Winrate: +10.73 ptBB/100

and here is the graph:

I can’t decide to take or shot or not. It would really piss me off to lose a couple of buy-ins and be knocked back down to $700 @ 25NL…..

Here was the major hand from the last session:

Great flop for me obv and perfect card on the turn to ensure I stacked villain.

Session stats:

Number of hands: 179

Net profit / loss: +$22.15

Winrate: +24.74 ptBB / 100

Bankroll: $812

    If you still struggling to decide why not take a shot with one buy-in, if you come out ahead, take another if you come out behind, don’t take another shot until you’ve earned two more buy-in’s at the higher level

    Good idea by luckystraights …

    On the other hand you wrote in your last post, that you are feeling confident now at this level, so why not play it for some more days and once you hit $900 go up, with a BR in your back that allows you to loose some buyins while settling in.
    I am moving up quite aggressively (in my sitngos) which forces me to go back down quite fast again, sometimes, which is always a real set back to me and want to get more conservative in November, so this might be the reason I advice to take your time …
    You´ll beat NL 50, too, I am very sure about that

    Thanks for the comments. I decided to just go for it in the end. I can always move down if I lose a couple of buy-ins !
