Hey all
I'm a beginner who's been playing on Poker Room for few months now. Baiscally found out about online poker during a game my friend put together.
Well, I screwed up Bankroll Management but I'm improving as a player. Currently the lowest limit PR has is .25/.25 and I've got a bankroll of $104 and change. (started at $50).
Anyway, reading this site has given me great insight and I was wondering if I should bother switching sites to get a lower-stakes game to fit my bankroll, or continue with my limited success at PR and slowly raise my BR. |

Hey dOOd, welcome to FTR.
In answer to your question, if you are playing .25 NL, then yes switch to a different site immediately. You will probably lose all your money if you continute to play with 4 buyins. Look for a site that offers 10NL, or even 5NL. Remember, 15 buyin minimum for No Limit. |

Thanks for the response
Just dreading the cash out and re transfer when it costs $ from Net Teller to do so...
I like the SnG tourneys better, I was thinking of sticking it out on the $5 - .50 tourneys they had there as it would at least give me 20 buy-ins |

Neteller only charges you when you deposit money from your checking account. You can pull money out and transfer it to another poker room at no charge. |

I didn't know that since I have only deposited once. Thanks for the info. |

| Yes, when in doubt switch to a site with lower stakes. You can always move back up in stakes when you are more confident. |

| yeah I dont quite remember what the bankroll requirements are for SnG tournaments (They are lower than for NL I think) Check the Bankroll Management thread. |

Some people say 15xBB is enough for SNGs, some people say 20xBB, others say 25xBB, there are some that say 30 or above should be the minumum for a serious player at the high levels.
I have gone many many OOTM before, and i can guarantee that 15xBB is not enough, especially at Party Poker. There have been variance simulations where a realy good player can go through 17 Buyin drops. I think the minumum should be at 25. But thats just me. |

You're half right there... they only charge when you use the instant transfer option. The standard EFT is free but it takes time |
