Thank you I appreciate that. I'm not sure what type of bankroll I should start to take shots at 5NL, whether it be at $100 or $150. I'm starting off with $40 (20 Buyins) at 2NL right now. Assuming things go well for me over the next month or 2, do you have a recommendation for either one or something else?

1. In the previous reply and many times before I hear people prefer the 2.5x size to 3x. Is there math I can learn which supports this or is this easily explainable why?

2. I think I'm realizing I'm gonna need to try some things like this for myself and see where it gets me. If it isn't profitable then I'll know from experience rather then being told just to do or not to do. I think I'll mostly still check back for now but try and find spots where I think betting a good middle pair is profitable.

3. That's the exact reason I like this play is because the opponent is likely to check turn to me as well if I bet flop.

4. As for the river spot, would you use the same 1/2 pot size for your Jx hands as well if you were to bet K9 and K10 here? I believe both of you were correct when you said their bluffs would mostly lead on this river and not check to me. They'll almost never be bluffing here and have either a J or AJ so I should only hero my Jx hand here and I'll even run into AJ some of the time which will suck. But luckily I'll fold out a good chunk of his AJ on the flop bet I believe unless he has flush or backdoor flush draws.

Thank you!
