Stakes - snakes and ladders

Last night seems to have involved a little level jumping for most.

Toe in the Water

Moocher seems to be the one putting in the table hours at the moment only calling it quits at 1am. Still unable to clear his US$500 from Full Tilt he decided to test the waters at a US$2 Sit n Go. The phone rings shortly after with tales of victory at a 6 man table.

Brimming with confidence he plunges into the slightly deeper waters of US$5 SNG before splashing back shorewards with a mouthful of salty water. He rakes up at least a half dozen games before bringing his bankroll back into the black with another victory at a US$2 9 man SNG table.

Swimming with Sharks

Deadly 3 reads the following advice from Brian Townsend (sbrugby) when asked what stakes he would play if he only had a bankroll of US$1000....

"I would start with 100NL and play until I had 2K and jump right into 200NL being willing to move back down if I dropped $800. I would then play 200NL until I had 3500 and then I would play 400NL again dropping down if I had a little downswing. I would continue
this process all the way to 100/200. I think this is an interesting question, and I feel that with 1000 dollars I could be playing 50/100 NL in 4 weeks with 200K. This would be very ambitous and require alot of poker everyday (probably 3K+ hands a day). But I still think it could be done. ( I don’t know if I want to try to prove it tho). "

Deadly3 with a bankroll of US$1,100 takes this advice to heart and plunges into the shark infested 100NL table to clear the party clearance requirements. He emerges with limbs intact and withdraws from party. Any big hands Deadly?

Back on the horse

After his recent big fall Bigshotbog decides it is time to climb back up on the horse. He avoids the volatile stallion of party's US$22 SNG's and opts for the more docile US$11 little brothers. Still unpacking boxes he rides that pony home in third place securing an in the money spot and now heads off to Macau to enjoy the hospitality of Steve Wynn. Will he venture near the tables?

Splashing about the SNG's

If it aint broke.... I decide to stick with the US$6 SNG at party and manage to fit in just one game. I'll post a few of the key hands later today. Another ITM (in the money) finish though making it four in a row.
