Lets get straight into it, open up Mansion Poker (or Pokerstars for US players) and log into your account (if you have not already installed Mansion Poker / Pokerstars and opened an account to go back to the section with instructions on how to do so).
Login to your account, which should now be showing a balance of $57 (excluding any bonus you have been given).
We are now going to upgrade to the next stake level of table, where there will be a few more better players who will appreciate some of the more complex bets and moves you will make, although there will still be plenty of fish volunteering their money to you.
On Mansion Poker - Click on the Games tab at the top of the screen and then click on the stakes column to arrange the games by stake limit and then scroll down to the $0.10 / $0.20 NL tables with 9 players on a table.
On Pokerstars - Click on the Hold'em tab at the top of the screen and then select the No Limit/Pot Limit and the Micro subcategories. Scroll down to the games which contain NL which are the No Limit games. The tables we are looking for are the $0.10 / $0.20 tables with 9 players on a table.
Look to select the most profitable table by looking at the Plrs/Flop but as we move up in the stakes this will now become a lower percentage and at this stake level anything over 25% is a good choice. From now on as well you should pay attention to the Avg Pot (Average Pot Size) as we also want to select a table with a high average pot size
Look for the table with the highest percentage of Plrs/Flop and select a seat and sit down with $15 from your bankroll.
Your Goal here is to make a profit of $15, or spend at least two hours trying. Familiarise yourself with the subtle layout changes of Mansion Poker or Pokerstars and remember not to stray from the strategy you have learnt so far in this course.
Once you have turned your $15 into $30 then you now have a total bankroll of $72 and you can move onto the next section.
