Yeah, I'm probably not quite comfortable with 100 NL. In the game, I started off losing $350 (15% of my BR) to the Villain before getting $225 back from him. First he flopped trips against my KK. Then he spiked a 4-outer against my flopped nut flush, and then he caught a straight against my flopped trips. Each time we were all in at the flop. I almost left the table with frustration, but I decided I could keep my cool in this very lucrative situation.
I'm actually just starting to play no limit cash games seriously in the last month, so I'm getting my feet wet quick. I have almost exclusively been playing MTTs and some STTs casually for 6-7 years (1-3 MTTs a week, and maybe a few dozen around holidays). I've met OK success, with an ROI of 38% (playing mostly $2-$6 buy-ins, with a few shots at $22 buyins). I have always kept my online bankroll around $400, because when I've made money, I've needed it to pay off debt. I'm now not in debt, so after my most recent tournament win of $2200, I decided to keep $1500 online, and start dabbling in cash games. My only other cash game experience is playing $4/$8 Omaha Hi Lo and $3/6 Limit Hold em at the local casinos.
So with the new bankroll, I started playing $50 NL until I got my BR up to $2000, and then started to mix in a few 100 NL games. At 50 NL, I've played 9,000 hands this month (usually playing 1-4 tables at a time). I am running a little hot, I suppose, because my BB/hour is 14.75, but I am very choosy with the tables I play. I tend not to stay at tables with VPIP less than %20.
I have only 900 hands at $100 NL, running -$0.8 BB/hour.
My stats are 16/11... 3-Betting = 3%, C-Betting = 65%
Is $2000 enough to play $100 NL? I thought it was, but after losing a quick $350 against a crazy fish, I thought maybe it'd be better to wait until I have a BR of 40-50 buyins.
