I'm just letting you know that I'm leaving this forum for good. When I joined here, back like 2 years ago, it used to be laid back, ppl weren't a-holes about retarded rules that don't matter......but now, all I see is ppl flaming and insulting one another. Also, the fact that ppl believe that I'm a "useless poster" or "least helpful poster" also adds to the reason I'm leaving. There are some good players here but most of the players here are losing players and when those losers are flaming me for posting a short answer or w.e, that's not cool. I think that I play better than most ppl here with

The bankroll management that you posted for sit and go's and tournaments will get you broke in no time. 20 MTTs is not enough to go through variance. and 10 sit and go's is definetly not enough. I've played about 4000 sit and gos in my life and have had streaks where i lost 6-8 in a row in HU. If you're not playing HU you'll experience streaks of not cashing in like 15 sit and gos in a row. So you REALLY need to get a more conservative bankroll management if you're serious about poker. GL.

If a good player plays 500 tubo sit and go's and 500 non-turbo sit and go's, he will have a higher ROI in the non-turbo. Unless the quickness of the turbo's outweighs the loss of $ per sit and go, non-turbos are more profitable.

It takes forever for the non turbos to sign up. They do have more skill and that's why I like them more but it's just so much faster to play the turbos bcuz that's where the fish seem to be swimming. There's lots more donkey in turbos than in non-turbos in the 100, 200 dollar levels.

muck preflop.

from personal experience...i had 1300 sit and go's and an ROI of 17...500 sit and go's where I go through my worst run to date losing 4.5 k....ROI is 11. 250 is not enough.

where are you getting those numbers?

I'm being paid right now to play a loose passive style. I'm at this table where these two guys (one of which i broke, so 1 is left) all he does is limp and pay me off by bluffing into me when i have a hand. The only downside is my AF is decreasing like crazy which sucks. But I've almost quadroopled my buy in which is well worth it although I hate this style i'm playing, it's the most profitable against a guy who wont fold and keep bluffing. I hate looking at PT bcuz my overall AF reduced to like 3.5 from 5.His VPIP is 86! and his PFR% is 4..........lol

I call in a sec

God damn...i was talking on msn and was distracted and i donked off and left some suga' on the table and just called. I know it's right to push. I suck, let's leave it at that. arghhh! damn it. He had K6 so he definetly calls all in. P.S I suck....i can't believe i made such a horrendous mistake....someone shoot me....I don't think I've played any hand worse than this in my life.

That's not smart BR management. You're switching stakes all the time. You should get yourself in a zone for the next level and then start playing that level and give yourself some room to manouveur by allowing yourself to lose 5 buy ins or watever b4 moving down stakes. Seems more logical

lol...ty OP...i wasted 5 minutes of my life.and guys...i'm pretty sure the OP is also sarcastic as to not understanding the other guys sarcasmm....at least i hope he is

hmm...you could probe bet the turn to get a large raise in and then probe bet the river...probe bets have raise me i'm weak written all over them..But it depends on how you normally play. You have to stay consistent with your game plan so you're not easy to read.

We've all been through this. What's your BR and what stakes do you play if you dont mind, because I think I deserve to get an award for most careful bankroll management. I have 320 sit and go's or sometimes 160 when i play 200s. Never played a 500 yet. And for cash games i have about 160 or 80 (but downswings are less then sit and gos) buy ins as well...that's carefull bankroll managemetn.

I'm assuming cash games. But still...20 isn't enough if that's your only source of income. I use such careful bankroll management compared to most ppl it's not funny. Ppl in my shoes would be playing 2k and 1k dollar sit and go's while I'm still at 100 and 200 and 1/2 cassh games and 2/4 (the reason cash games are so low is bcuz i just made a move into them from sit and go's) but 5% is a lot. My biggest downstreak, using my strict BR management, is approximately 10% of my bankroll...happened twice...if i used the 5% rule I woulda gone broke.

honestly...get a bigger sample size...i can wipe my *** with your stats because they mean nothing. and you can't maintain an 87% ROI no matter how bad they are. You know that 87 is an amazing and impossibe to sustain ROI so why even ask. You're bragging, but your sample size is way to small for it to mean anything. Get at least 1000 sit and go's and then you'll know your approximate true ROI

Become friends with somebody with a visa and then pay them cash and ask them to use their visa to deposit. Playing online while underage has helped me become a lot better. If I couldn't play online when I was 17 I'd b playing 10 and 20 dollar sit and go's now. Learn while you're young especially since you're going to go pro. I also said I was going to get a degree and stuff but now I'm changing my mind. I'm taking "a year off" after this semster (it's my first year in university) and am playing pro and travelling. I don't know what the chances of me coming bac would be. I just have no motivati

what good bankroll management (sw)

QFT...that's why I don't think you're representing much. Well...I guess I'm being biased because I'm pretending I'm playing the hand and I'd play an overpocket much faster in a spot like this. Like I said before I'd raise more prelfop...raise to 6 preflop + 2 for every limper and bet out close to pot size on the flop to make it expensive for others to try to rebluff if they have air and at the same time to be consistent with playing your strong hands aggressively. I think even though the board isn't overly dangerous I bet close to pot size...the main reason is because when i'm bluffing I want

You're not representing anything. If he has anything he'd call. I prefer to check preflop or raise to 10 and fire out an 18 continuation bet. That way, if it's called you know to shut down on the hand and chances are, unless he hit it hard he'll be folding and you pick up the pot. Your OOP so you want to keep the pot small an manageable. If you were on the button and two guys limped then raise with QJ and don't limp, but seeing how you're OOP it's a lot better to not make a small raise and fire out a tiny CB. Bluffing here is bleeding money away. An important thing is to realize when you can't

NL, sorry forgot to specify

Hey guys, as some of you might know I've made a move towards cash games about a week ago from playing strictly sngs for a long time. I haven't been able to get many hours/hands in but I did get just under 2k hands with 7BB/100 hands at the $1/2. I've decided to start pretty low because I want to get a hang of it and beat a certain level before moving onto the next. My question is for cash game players...for each level, what do you think your BB/100 should be after 10k hands to be crushing the game? to be beating the game decently? cheers.

lol...350? no way! and i would bet money you're down $ since you're not telling me ur sn. I've played over 1500 HU sngs at the 100 or up level with about 10ROI....how much money did u lose on the process of playing those 350 sngs?
