Advice please re poker limits and moving up!

Haha loving house :-D

Someone made a good point, you say you withdraw £500 a week, if you NEED that £500 then obv you must withdraw it, if you don't then don't withdraw one week, and use the £500 to play .25/.50 with, if you lose £500 then just go back to as you were. Managing a bankroll is all about utility value, sometimes a £3,000 and a £5,000 bankroll have the same value utility-wise so you have a surplus of £2,000 to take shots with or whatever0, sometimes the difference between a £6,000 and a £4,000 is massive so protecting that extra £2,000 is crucial...

Onto Pads' points though, he is right the rake at the micro limits is brutal - it might not be "unbeatable" as he suggests (I would lean to thinking it prolly is long term, sorry to say) but the incentive to move up should be massive because of the severity of the rake at micro stakes you only need to win at about 1/4 of the rate at low/mid stakes to make significantly more money.

His point about the stnd of play between stakes is also correct, I play 1/2 - 25/50 and the toughest stakes are 2/4. 3/6 and 10/20. if youre good enough to make money from poker then you should be able to beat 50/1 and 1/2 which is where you can start to make decent monies. Also it's much more fun to play for more money! Lets have a bit more self belief here please!!!
