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).
You should now be showing a balance of $170 (excluding any bonus you have been given).
Again we're stepping up to the next stake lavel and the $0.25 / $0.50 tables. Once again 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.
As always we are looking to select the most profitable table by looking at the Plrs/Flop and at this stake level anything over 20% is a good choice.
We also want to select a table with a good Avg Pot (Average Pot Size). Select a table with a good combination of Plrs/Flop and Avg Pot and sit down at the table with $50 (100 times the big blind).
Don't be intimidated by the increase in stake level but be cautious when you first start until you get used to the new stake levels. Remember the amount of the bets and raises will go up in line with the increase in stake levels, but the maths and our strategy remains the same. There will still be plenty of fish at this level, but there will also be a few more better players thrown into the mix as well.
Now we're moving onto bigger stake levels, make sure you do not stray from your strategy at all, any mistake will have a bigger dent on your bankroll at higher stake tables. Just play how you have learnt and practiced throughout this course and the returns from a higher stake table is also more!
Your Goal here is to make a profit of $50, or spend at least two hours trying. Once you have turned your $50 into $100 then you now have a bankroll of $220 and you can move onto the next section.
