No matter where we look these days there is always something related to poker. Whether it’s in magazines, on TV or at our local bars, we are constantly exposed to all of these young kids making obscene amounts of money playing poker.You may have heard one of these stories and thought to yourself, “I’m sick of playing my $1, $2 or $10 buy in levels. I want to start making some real cash.” Unfortunately it’s for this reason why so many players fail at poker. Even though they don’t have the proper poker bankroll and experience level, they want to move up way to fast.
SO HOW DO YOU KNOW YOU ARE READY FOR THE NEXT LEVEL?
The answer to this question is really quite easy. Your poker bankroll will tell you. No I don’t mean your bankroll will actually talk to you, but if you are following strict bankroll requirements (I always recommend 2% of bankroll per buy in) then you know when it will be time to move up. Here’s an example:
Let’s say you have a bankroll of $1000. Your buy in amounts for these SNG’s should be $20. Until your bankroll has increased to $1500, then you should continue playing these games. Now you can increase to the thirty dollar games. If you continue to have success as this level then continue moving up as your bankroll increases. If your bankroll drops back down under $1500 then move back down to the $20 levels. By moving back to lower levels, a lot of players feel that they are failing but it’s really not true. You can continue to learn and improve until you eventually break through that level and beyond.
If you continue to follow this model and move up and down when you bankroll requires it you will virtually remove all possibilities of going broke. You will know when you are ready to move up to the next level as it will tell you. As your game improves and levels increase, you will be amazed by the amounts of money that you are making from a game that we all love.
