First, sorry for the off-topic post. I will try to incorporate a little strategy so this thread isn't a COMPLETE failure

On to business...

You're the best regular at this level... besides me

In all seriousness, I think it's dumb for people to give you crap for only playing $100NL. There are a lot of solid reasons for someone to play that "low", and surprisingly, the $100 NL (6) tables at PokerStars are generally decent and nitty. There are obviously some retard fish, but unless you table select, the tables aren't completely crushable.

Bankroll Strategy
A lot of people are insistent on always moving up and playing games that "fit" your bankroll. I think that most of the views are pretty dumb and that bankroll should only be a small factor in determining what limits you play. Experience, comfort, and skill-level should also play into determining what stakes you play.

For Me...
I turned 18 in April of 06. I played tournaments. I was strictly a tournament player. I built my bankroll up to around $5000 in 06 and headed into 07 still a tournament player. Come January 07, I had back-to-back scores of $4700 and $6100 and some other decent scores. Entering February, my bankroll was about $16000 and I wanted to learn cash games and hopefully convert.

Most people would suggest 2/4 or probably 3/6 with a $16000 bankroll. However, I thought it was best to learn NL Cash by playing $100 NL. I had 0 experience, was not at all comfortable playing cash, and didn't know if I would be a winning player just jumping straight to $600 NL. So until I hit ~75K hands at 5ptBB/100 or higher at $100 NL, that is where I will play (and learn).



Anyways this turned into sort of a ramble, but whatever
