Hi, its me again! :f_cool:

About 10 days ago I wrote a topic ''How can I profit in Poker''. People suggested me the basic topics of PokerStrategy on NL, and I'm following it hardly, which is making me some profit (which I would like to discuss later). I also got Silver status, which mean I could finally watch W34z3l's walkthrough on crushing the microstakes, which I found VERY confusing, and too much for me, so I'm just sticking with the basics of PokerStrategy. I also just double up my first deposit in PS, thanks to your help :f_biggrin:

Now my question is: I'm making 7.60bb/100h profit at NL2 (about 6k hands in Zoom and 6k in Regular Tables, choosing the best tables). Is it a good ammount of profit for low-limits, or I can get definetely get much better?

This is important, because soon I will have a $100,00 bankroll, which means I can move up to NL5. However, I'm afraid to move up if I'm not doing my absolute best at NL2. What's the ideal bb/100h profit in NL2 to move safely to NL5?

I hope you understood my question.

PS: You suggested me to make a blog, and I did it! Link:

You should move up when you're confident in your game.

Moving up depends on a lot of factors in terms of your life, skill, bankroll, and personal goals.

maythany is correct, at same time many people will say that you should have a minimum number of hands to prove that you are a winning player long-term before moving up to the next stake. I'm not a cash game player so I don't know what a reasonable number of hands would be.

Also, there is nothing wrong with taking a shot at a higher level if you have the bankroll for it AND are willing to move back down if you lose enough that you are no longer rolled for it.

In Poker you are always the Hero - Why should real life be any different?

I would definitely say move up when you feel confident in your ability and when your bankroll allows (you should have at least 25 buy ins but I would say at least 30 would be better for newer players. So for NL5 you will need $125-$150)
Also the more hands you play the more accurate your bb/100 rate will be but I would look again when you have played at least 25k hands.
Good luck :f_drink: :f_thumbsup:
