NL Stakes?

[bode]

I know i have seen this explained, but i cant find the thread now. Im play mostly SnG's, but have been dabbling in NLHE recently, and I was wondering when you guys say you are playing $100 NL or $600 NL, what is the actual stakes. Is $100 NL .5/1?

Is $100 NL .5/1?

Baaaazing.

Yes. Generally the stakes ($25, $100, $2000) refer to a buy-in amount of 100x the Big Blind.

So you are correct. $100NL = $.50/$1
Jut as $25NL = $.10/$.25

Thanks for the answers. I only have about $75 in the BR right cause i took out $200 recently, so i started playing .5/.10 NL (stars), and the standard buy in is $4.00. Is this just because it is so low of a limit, or should i manually put in $10.

ALWAYS buyin with 100x bb.

Poker Stars has a default buy-in of less than the recomended amount. I would not sit down at the table with less than $10. The point being, that you want to maximize your profit when you hit a good hand. If you hit the nuts with $4, you're losing a minimum $6 worth of potential profit.

The generally recomended BR for any NL stake is 20x the buy-in. So $200 to consistently play at $.05/$.10
I would probably look into droping down a level if you unsure of playing under rolled. If not, have fun milking the fish at your current level.

I figured i might be out of my roll a bit, but I have had good lucky with it so far, and i have a good income so i can deposit if needed. thanks for the advice.

im morbidly curious to hear your definition of 'dabbling'... i hope it doesnt mean you actually sat in a game...

a good thing to do as a poker player, i think, is to read a poker glossary when youre starting out. lotta good info in those, lotta good info.

In all seriousness, is what did you mean by

... i hope it doesnt mean you actually sat in a game...

[Myke]

You're original post made mention of $100 and $600 No Limit games. I assume that he was refering to sitting in on those with a $75 Bankroll.

[siknd]

its just pretty obvious that youd get really hurt, i wouldnt want to see that happen.

ignore me, im just really sarcastic.

I know way would i even think of sitting at a $200 table, let alone a $600 one. I was just using these as an example reguarding the original question. sorry about the confusion.
