Going on higher limits
After a winning of the first dollar in poker there is a temptation to go for a table with higher limit. This is psychological problem of every poker player. At first sight reasons are obvious: carrying out recommendations of books, being thrown off and lifting according to logic of game, for same time there is an opportunity to win much more at the same period of time. But on the way to a high limits of the beginning player wait numerous traps.
First, it is players who read the same books more attentively and have greater experience. If you play partytime, based on luck it is not necessary to sit down with professionals. Believe, behind greater limit greater players quality, they really play differently. If you have aimed to learn to play well, it is necessary to learn to estimate force of players objectively. To win on though some a significant distance it is possible only at weaker player(than you). There are, certainly, mad situations, but this exception which, eventually, will help the strong player.
Secondly an obstacle for going at higher limits can become insufficient bankroll. Only the person far from poker can believe, that having entered game with bankroll equal 3 Big bets it is possible to break the pot. If you will don't have space for maneuver you can't play adequately situations, especially for nolimit tables where the size bankroll very important, like a position. Some times incorrectly having estimated a situation or in case of force-majeur (mad cards) you lose all money and it is necessary to reload chips. It is necessary to divide precisely money for game and that money with which you pay off for the other blessings of a civilization. Misunderstanding of this moment can lead to sad consequences.
Thirdly, a handicap in successful game on high tables can become your psychological impreparation to greater rates. If you have got used to look flop on the certain position with the certain cards for $1, it can be difficultl to force itself to look it for $10. I any more do not speak about such maneuver as ðå-raise. As a result you can lose confidence, the game and, eventually, money.
For regular game the minimal sums with which it is necessary to sit down ceratin table are calculated: to play $1-$2 limit you will need at least 200 $2-$4 -400, $3-$ 6 - $600; $5-$10 - $800 and $10-$ 20 - $1600(For NL games this figures will be much more). It is a necessary minimum, and it only for game. Optimum to start to play behind low tables, typing gradually experience and bankroll. It is a long way but only so it is possible to reach positive result.
To avoid all these troubles try to approach to increase of rates prepared on to all positions: mathematical, financial and psychological. Good training in this plan can be tournaments. For a local interval of time you pass a way from cheap game before game on which much depends. Bets there grow constantly - game varies, and thus you do not risk the significant sum.
