I was thinking about jumping into 2/5 for a couple reasons, there’s more money to be made at the higher stakes (obviously) and the level of skill from some other players may benefit me to play a better game.
I plan on joining a couple training sites. The main ones being Live At The Bike, and the hand history lounge. I like that LATB for the archive of every stream they’ve done and hand history lounge because it is more about the stakes I am playing or plan on playing. I currently watch all the better vloggers for strategy and thinking.
I was definitely aiming for 6 months or more in expenses and 15-20 buy ins in the game I wanted to play. I figure if I lose 5 buy ins faster than I plan I’ll drop to 1-2 and should be in a pretty great spot until I gain the money to go up again.
I’m planning on taking the chance on myself for a couple months to see how I do. If I do great, sure I’ll continue but if I do bad, I’ll feel like I’ve tried to do what I like and continue to be a recreational player while working a job.
