Want to Go to Higher Limits or Skill Level

Hello,

Ever since, I want to play at $10/$20 no-limit holdem ring game and at the same time win a certain really huge tournament in WSOP or WPT. That’s why maybe I decided to focus more on higher level games.

Once I encountered stuff about bankroll management. I learned that to be successful you need to meet the buy in requirement of different tournaments or events. For SNG tournaments it’s 5 times buy in. For MTT, 100 times buy in. And for ring games, 45 times buy in.

For an instance, whenever a sit n go entry fee is $5.50, be aware that you have to secure a running bankroll of min. $250.00. And in 0.01/0.02 no limit holdem, $125.00.

I’ve also encountered some stuff about skill level by which I learned that at some point when you have one player at the table that is playing incorrectly, it is easy to adjust but if everyone at the table is playing badly or whatever, it is impossible to go for some adjustments.

As of now, I’m wondering if what am I suppose to do to build my bankroll so that I can play in whatever limits and skill level I desire. Any thoughts on this? Somehow, saving money from my compensation seem to work but I am not sure.

Thank you.

Johnson,

How do you get to Broadway? The same way you build your bankroll, practice, practice, practice. You need to start at the lower limits and build your way up through the limits. If you are at the $1-$2 NL and are successful and are building money, move up to $2-$5 and so forth.

Building your skills and working your way up through the limits are really the only way to build your bankroll and to properly prepare yourself.
