The love of the Rings

[Setzy]

Okay, I made a thread awhile back about playing in large Multi-Table tourneys. Definitely had my fill there for the most part, after moderate aggravation I've moved on, and now exploring a few of the lower limit ring games.

I've been playing $5 NL on Party and tonight I decided to branch out with some of the winnings and play around with $10 NL. Every session (except for the first one a few days back which I chalk up to not really understanding the flow of the game and led me to making a silly all-in preflop) has been profitable. I'm finding after about an hour or so at the table I'm getting an excellent feel for the players, reading hands moderately/very well, making decent reads via betting habits, and making more steals than I *ever* did when playing MTTs.

I have a question about it though.

Do you guys think it's worth the time to build a small bankroll through $5 NL, or is the skill difference between $5 and $10 so minimal that I should go on and play 10NL? Without delving too deep into numbers, let's just say that playing either isn't going to destroy my bankroll with a few losing sessions.

By the way, I don't multi-table...I don't have the appropriate attention (read: skills) to play multiple tables right now, concentrating too hard on the one. Any thoughts are appreciated.

If you have the bankroll for 10NL then start there. If you have the bankroll for 5NL then start there.

Youve played poker before so its not like you need to learn the game (tightness) from scratch so just start with 10NL or maybe even 25 if you have the BR.

Player skill difference will be nil. Its all about what your bankroll can support.

In your opinion, what is the minimum level where the skill starts to increase?

Obviously, it's a tough question, just curious of the opinions of those that have played many of the levels.

$50NL tables - but skills of opponents increases only just a bit. Fishies still make stupid plays and draw to their usual gutshot wheels, everybody checkraises, weaktights minraise their AQ's, BB's minraise their 67s and there is more donk-bets into raiser because raiser OBVIOUSLY has unimproved AK. Turn-screws can be really profitable plays.
