back to nl50
so after a horrid nl25 session i decided to have a little go at nl50, not in a tilty way but because i had already withdrawn my roll from pokerstars ready to go into my ftp account meaning i would be rolled for nl50 shortly. so although not officially set for nl50 i decided to go ahead anyway, bbbrrraapp!
so far so good, have been reviewing a few nl50 vids on cardrunners to get my head on right and eliminate some donkfish mistakes. going into nl50 though i was already 3 buyins down from my last escapade so need to get that back before it really matters.
second, first impressions are much the same. there are a few more iron men about but the play doesn't seem that much better. people are very hard to bluff (which has cost me) but i've been getting good action when it counts.
so stats since i have made the move are as follows, small sample size but am happy so far, i wouldn't go as far to say as i'm crushing, in fact i would say i'm no where near that, i've enjoyed 99% bad card which i've managed to lose a little on and 1% awesome, smack me square in the face with the deck and call me shirley good cards which i've managed to get paid off on!

the above also includes my first ever $100 day, woop, makes me wonder why i'm not a professional :)
thats about all for nows i guess. got no correct answers for my pop quiz, not even close answers so you can all stay in the dark and i'll have the slightest of edges over you all when we play, ah ha!

Good luck in your adventures... What does NL50 mean? Sorry, I'm still new to the terminology.
thanks mate, nl50 means nl = no limit and the 50 represents the big blind, or max buy-in which is usually 100 big blinds. so the 50 = 25c/50c. so no limit 10c/25c would be nl25 and $5/$10 would be nl1000.
hope that helps
Ah I see now. How big of a bankroll do you think one should have to play at the nl50 level?
for no limit a bank roll of 20 buy-ins is recommended. There is no hard and fast rule but through many online players experience this level of bankroll will absorb the variance you are likely to encounter. so for nl50 you should have at least $1000 for it to be your stable game. if you are a reg at nl25 and you have say $800-$900 then there is no harm taking a shot which is what i did about a month ago but it didn't go to plan so i had to drop back down and rebuild.
