Good news everyone, I finished yesterday with a total BR of 1450$. Today I played NL50 and won the last buyin that I needed for my goal.

Magical 1500$, the bankroll where I decided to take a shot at NL100 swearing myself that I'd move down if I'd lose 5 buyins. So I moved up and played about 1,500 hands.

Well well, doesn't look too impressive. I thought it wasn't too much different from NL50, people played pretty much the same just the pots were higher.

I think it wasn't a bad shot, the first two buyins that I lost were huge suckouts.

First one was when villian thought his overcards and AK flushdraw is good enough to reraise me all-in. I called with my set of sevens and the river gave him his flush. Happens.
Second one was when I had overpair Queens and the guy called down his TPWK just to hit trips on the river.

Nonetheless I have to keep my word and move down, even if I don't feel like it, I just have to. This time I'm not sure if I'll take shots at 1,500$ again or if I'll wait until I have at least 20 buyins for NL100.

So long

Heh, I reckon you should put in a good solid 20-30k hands at 50nl and build to 2.5k. That way you can move up and take a shot at 100nl and never look back again, plus you'll feel super comfortable with your game.

yeah i agree with PokerDoc, you need to be able to take the little hits and keep going.
