Re: Bankroll requirements for cash games

Up the stakes a bit and you can do a lot better. I reckon you can easily make money playing simple ABC poker at 1/2/ and 2/4.
Fraid not IMO - Jez has posted extensively on this in the past. The 'if only players would do the normal thing' syndrome - you make money in poker when your opponents make less mistakes than you do (or more correctly make more expensive mistakes than you do). Any game type (fast, slow, loose, aggressive, passive etc) requires you to adjust to it. Thinking that it is easier to win at higher levels is a fallacy IMO - you need to work more on your game so that you can adjust better to the players weaknesses. The reason to up stakes is when you have the game AND the bankroll to win more at the higher level. If you are having trouble at the lower level, then sooner or later the flaws in your game will be exposed at the higher level.
