Maybe you had a quick triple-up in your <a href=\"http:\/\/pokercoaching.com\/blog\/the-best-preflop-strategy-to-crush-cash-games\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">regular cash game<\/a>, still have a few hours to play, and see a couple of known fish in the higher stakes game. That\u2019s when you put your name on that list and take a shot. You don\u2019t know if you\u2019re ready for the game or not, but there\u2019s only one way to find out\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Taking a shot is a necessary precursor to officially and \u201cpermanently\u201d moving up in stakes, but here we\u2019re discussing how you know when you\u2019re ready to move up for keeps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Here are three important signs:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li style=\"font-style:normal;font-weight:700\"><strong>Your bankroll, whatever that means, is prepared for the swings.<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li style=\"font-style:normal;font-weight:700\"><strong>Your brain and stomach are prepared for the bigger numbers.<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li style=\"font-style:normal;font-weight:700\"><strong>You consistently and reliably spot multiple, expensive errors by players at the higher stakes.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Your poker bankroll is ready for the swings<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It doesn\u2019t matter if you have a \u201creal\u201d poker bankroll as a professional or serious semi-pro would have, or simply use discretionary funds from a job or other income source. That pot of money is going to <a href=\"http:\/\/pokercoaching.com\/blog\/volume-cures-variance-are-you-playing-enough-poker\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">experience bigger swings<\/a> when you settle into a higher stakes game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s take the example of Carrie, who is a pediatrician in the daytime, but takes her cash game pursuits as seriously as she does her young patients. She has set aside $10,000, which is her $1\/$3 \u201cbankroll.\u201d Everything that goes to the casino comes from that bucket of money, and everything that she cashes in at the end of the session goes back into the bucket. She has a deal with herself that if the bucket goes to zero, she won\u2019t play again until she is able to carve another $10,000 bankroll out of discretionary funds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This, by the way, is excellent discipline and is a key skill to be a pro or semi-pro player.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Carrie has taken a couple of shots at the $2\/$5 game, which has a max buy-in of $1,000, and she\u2019s up a net $800 on her $2\/$5 exploits. That\u2019s fine, but $10,000 will <em>not<\/em> support playing the $2\/$5 game regularly. For instance, in one unfortunate session, she lost $1,400. This didn\u2019t hinder her ability to play in her regular $1\/$3 game, but a couple of such sessions in a row would knock her out of serious $2\/$5 contention, and perhaps endanger her $1\/$3 play.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Carrie believes that she is a winner in the $2\/$5 game \u2013 in fact, a bigger winner than she is in the $1\/$3 game. And she\u2019s ready to make that her permanent home. But to do so, she really needs $20,000. She has two choices:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Wait until her $1\/$3 winnings push her bankroll over the $20k mark, and\/or<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Invest further discretionary money from her career into her <a href=\"https:\/\/cardplayerlifestyle.com\/5-tips-to-managing-your-poker-bankroll\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">poker bankroll<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>There\u2019s no right answer \u2013 either approach (or a combination) is just fine. What is <em>not<\/em> okay, is for Carrie to try to be a $2\/$5 regular on a $10k bankroll \u2013 it will end poorly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>It\u2019s fine to take shots at a bigger game on your current bankroll. It is financially irresponsible to play the bigger game regularly when bankrolled only for the smaller game.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Note that the numbers I used in the example above are for discussion purposes only. There are great resources to <a href=\"http:\/\/pokercoaching.com\/blog\/the-bankroll-bible\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">guide your bankroll requirements<\/a>, and you should use those to decide how much you need for your game (both the smaller and larger stakes).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Your brain and stomach are ready for bigger numbers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><a href=\"http:\/\/pokercoaching.com\/blog\/top-ten-easy-poker-tips-to-crush-poker-games\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/pokercoaching.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/PC-Blog_Top-Ten-Easy-Poker-Tips-1-1024x576.png\" alt=\"Whether you are a tournament poker player or a cash game grinder, Jonathan Little's Top Ten Poker Tips can help you become a winning poker player.\" class=\"wp-image-2520367\" width=\"597\" height=\"336\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pokercoaching.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/PC-Blog_Top-Ten-Easy-Poker-Tips-1-1024x576.png 1024w, https:\/\/pokercoaching.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/PC-Blog_Top-Ten-Easy-Poker-Tips-1-746x420.png 746w, https:\/\/pokercoaching.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/PC-Blog_Top-Ten-Easy-Poker-Tips-1-373x210.png 373w, https:\/\/pokercoaching.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/PC-Blog_Top-Ten-Easy-Poker-Tips-1-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/pokercoaching.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/PC-Blog_Top-Ten-Easy-Poker-Tips-1.png 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 597px) 100vw, 597px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><a href=\"http:\/\/pokercoaching.com\/blog\/top-ten-easy-poker-tips-to-crush-poker-games\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\"><strong><em>Crush cash games and poker tournaments with Jonathan Little&#8217;s Top Ten Poker Tips!<\/em><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">You can keep your head cool at the cash game table<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>First, let\u2019s talk about your brain, because that\u2019s the easier one. I still remember one of the first times I tested the $2\/$5 waters, after being a $1\/$2 and $1\/$3 regular. I opened some hand \u2013 I don\u2019t even remember what \u2013 to $20. There was one call behind me, then the pro in the small blind made it $110.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I thought, \u201c<em>A hundred and ten dollars!?!?!<\/em>\u201d That was, after all, half a stack in my usual $1\/$2 game. But here at the $2\/$5 stakes, it was a perfectly reasonable, well-sized 3-bet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The first few times you play a bigger game, the absolute numbers <em>will<\/em> affect you \u2013 it\u2019s inevitable. One good way to overcome this \u201csticker shock\u201d is to focus on big blind units. It\u2019s not $25 \u2013 it\u2019s a 5x open; it\u2019s not $60 \u2013 it\u2019s a half-pot bet, so I\u2019m getting 3:1 odds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Keep your stomach calm<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Your stomach will probably be a bigger issue than your brain.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The pots will be bigger \u2013 both the ones you win, and those you lose. When you run kings into <a href=\"http:\/\/pokercoaching.com\/blog\/three-mistakes-to-avoid-with-pocket-aces\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">pocket aces<\/a> (or your aces get cracked by kings) the pain is doubled, or worse. Again, try to divorce yourself from the dollar amounts (\u201cI just lost a $2,000 pot\u201d), and focus on the game units (\u201cI lost one buy-in\u201d).&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You will have your biggest winning session and your biggest losing session. Every time you move up, you reach new highs <em>and<\/em> new lows. Consider this screenshot from the YouTube home page for vlogging phenom <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/@MarianoPoker\">Mariano Gandoli<\/a>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh4.googleusercontent.com\/iboatVpZxnZVCTyDYWrWdXA1mvbP5w4dOmId1TgIcf95T4yDRuMHaZ3Lli-vKzNctCs5crxE55JwxzMA1YrjzMmAJexlHIm93auYR0c9-Y2rWNwznCg7L6d1VPRL_tokF7Sb2KSuiUS1NhbeanLvdn8\" alt=\"Even a successful cash game poker vlogger like Mariano Gandoli suffers major bankroll losses when he moves up to higher stakes.\" width=\"704\" height=\"426\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Mariano is an <em>excellent<\/em> poker player, and yet, with every step up in stakes, he plumbs new record lows. I have not escaped that effect, and neither will you.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>One absolute requirement for moving up in stakes is the ability to emotionally handle the inevitable bigger losses.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When you can suffer a big \u2013 even for the new higher stakes \u2013 loss, and shrug it off as another day at the office, it\u2019s a good sign that you\u2019re ready to play there regularly.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, here\u2019s a tip that uses the first concept to address the second:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>If your bankroll is absurdly big for the stakes you\u2019re playing, your head and stomach will stay much cooler and calmer.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s go back to our pediatrician friend, Carrie. Suppose that, instead of $10,000 in her \u201cbankroll,\u201d Carrie has $50,000.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now Carrie takes a shot at the $2\/$5 game, and loses $1,400, but it makes nary a dent in her bankroll. If she reaches a point where she is mentally comfortable with the bet and pot sizes in the $2\/$5 game, her stomach will be in fine shape. Furthermore, if she <em>wins<\/em> $1800 in a session, she\u2019s less likely to go on \u201cwinner\u2019s tilt\u201d (e.g. run out and buy a new TV). It\u2019s just a nice 3.6% boost to her bankroll.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><em><strong>\u201cIf your bankroll feels way too big, that\u2019s just about right.\u201d<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<cite><strong>\u2013<\/strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.tommyangelo.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\"><strong>Tommy Angelo<\/strong><\/a><\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">You consistently see your opponents making big mistakes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When you take a shot at a new, bigger game, you have plenty of things to concentrate on \u2013 your nerves, the bigger bets, all of it.
