I stumbled into poker in October last year, I was registered with UK bookmakers Blue Square, where I used to bet on football, horses, NFL etc etc... Blue Square then opened a poker room, a skin of Victor Chandler, so I gave it a try.

VC is great for beginners. It has fantastic micro limits. For ring games it starts at $0.02 / $0.04 for limit and $0.05 / $0.10 for no limit. For SnG there are single table tournaments with a $0.10 buy in. You can play all day for $1.

In January I discovered FTR and started making progress. In 3 months my $50 bankroll has steadily grown to $586. I have done this only playing $0.05 / $0.10 NL and some $3 SnG tournaments.

OK, so what's next ? I now have the bankroll to move up. Here are the options I am considering....

A) Stay on VC for a little bit longer but move up to $0.10 / $0.20 NL ($40 max buy in)

B) Move my bankroll to Party Poker and clear the $100 bonus playing $25 NL, followed by EMPIRE etc etc...

Questions...

1) Which is the smaller step to take. VC $40 buy in with its 200x big blind structure. Or PP $25 buy in with its 100x big blind structure ?

2) Does anyone have experience moving from VC to Party Poker ? How do the tables compare ?

3) What is the best way to move my money about. I understand that I can freely move money in and out of lots of sites using Netteller ? But can I get my money out of Netteller into my UK bank account (without charges) ?
