A_Bullets_A 0 Posted April 26, 2007 Share Posted April 26, 2007 Hey guys. Can anyone here that plays $2/$4NL on PokerStars let me know what you think? I've played a lot of $1/$2NL and I've been thinking about moving up soon. Can anyone tell me how the two games compare? Is the $2/$4NL game that much tougher than $1/$2NL or is it pretty similar? Thanks. Link to post Share on other sites
HubDub04 0 Posted April 26, 2007 Share Posted April 26, 2007 The 2/4 game plays a lot bigger. I used to play the lower limits, and have since moved up to 2/4 3/6 and 5/10 nl.Make sure you have the bankroll to support your variance. I would say a bankroll of at least 5k is needed to play consistently and confidently at 2/4. This also allows you to multi table once you feel comfortable enough to do so.Hope that helped.

Royal_Tour 0 Posted April 26, 2007 Share Posted April 26, 2007 at least 5k if you are playing 2/4 fulltime. (which i mean to the poster above, I'm opting for 10kIts so easy to go on a week long downswing that can cost multiple buy-ins. and well. 5k turns into 3k really fast at those levels.

fitzinabox 0 Posted April 26, 2007 Share Posted April 26, 2007 its not a hard game, i dont have near that bank roll and have played it with sucess. Table selecdtion is the most important part in my opinion Link to post Share on other sites

Table selecdtion is the most important part in my opinionThats a misleading statement.You can be the best $2/$4 NL player the world has ever seen and go busto if you don't have enough buy ins to eliminate variance (as said, at least 20 or so if you have another job, 30+ if it is your job) Link to post Share on other sites

I've found people pretty willing to play big pots without super strong hands, which is nice. If you catch a big hand, you can generally get it paid off. Of course, I also see a few "regulars" who I know are pretty solid so table selection is indeed pretty key.Also, I play exclusively 6-max so I don't know anything about the full ring games.

A_Bullets_A 0 Posted April 26, 2007 Author Share Posted April 26, 2007 I think I might just watch some of the tables for a bit and then move up soon. Thanks for the replies everyone. Link to post Share on other sites
WhatArunAA 0 Posted April 26, 2007 Share Posted April 26, 2007 HubDub is a sicko.. he only needs 5k...he defies variance gods like no other.side note- I was playing 3/5 at my local casino and this young cocky kid sits down.. I pick up AK and make a standard raise to 35.. I get like 5 callers and the flop comes A-9-2 rainbow.. young cocky kid bets out.. I raise and he insta shoves.. he only had like 200 more and I sat there forever.. eventually paying his 222 off. Later I find out its HubDub and now we occasionally stroke each other off.

Spence 0 Posted April 26, 2007 Share Posted April 26, 2007 12 buyins is good if you don't hit variance early on . Link to post Share on other sites
