buffofspades 0 Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 Just curious, if one manages to be successful in the $50 to $1000 Challenge, does that bode well for taking it beyond $1000? /Running bad, back under $200, going back to $.05/$.10 6max PLO and NLHE Link to post Share on other sites
coug2828 8 Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 yesthank you.general sort of bankroll mgt question here. i've been playing in the 25nl games for a while now, and play $4.40 sng's, 5.50 sng's and some mtt tourneys usually maxing my buyin at $10.00. current bankroll around $470.00. how much should i have/would you guys want to have before moving from .10/.25 cash game stakes to .25/.50?i was thinking about making the move when i get to $500.00, but having doubts that it might not be enough, a couple tough swings could really take a bite out of my roll. thoughts?edit: not sure how much this matters, i usually buyin on the 25nl game for $20.00 Link to post Share on other sites

Getting $50 to $1,000 and then when I get that goal I'll try to make it into $10,000.It's just my bankroll and me using bankroll management to get it up. Link to post Share on other sites

TheDonk1989 0 Posted April 13, 2009 Author Share Posted April 13, 2009 I had a pretty good session, $12.90.I need to be more disciplined in my calls. I'm having a hard time laying down over pairs when I know they're beat.That's why I go up and down throughout the session. By the end of the session I played good poker and was able to run up a profit.I need to be more disciplined and not just start calling because I have an overpair. As I go deeper into my session I appear to do better.I'm gonna work on it. Link to post Share on other sites

TheDonk1989 0 Posted April 14, 2009 Author Share Posted April 14, 2009 played my first session and ran pretty bad. I had the best hand and it didnt hold up. I definately kept my losses at a minimum.I took a break and cooled off and tried another session. I played a long session and didn't get many bad beats. I managed to get some money back.

TheDonk1989 0 Posted April 16, 2009 Author Share Posted April 16, 2009 Lmao very nice.I'm gonna be playing a session now Link to post Share on other sites
TheDonk1989 0 Posted April 17, 2009 Author Share Posted April 17, 2009 Just got done with that session, post it, won $12.90. I ran so bad but then got one big hand towards the end. Link to post Share on other sites
TheDonk1989 0 Posted April 20, 2009 Author Share Posted April 20, 2009 Yesterday I played a session and wasn't catching much. I lost $5.00 by getting blinded out pretty much. I hoped into 4 $3 buy in 9 player tournaments and sadly, busted out of all of them. I was down about $18. I played another session and won back about $9, took a break and played another session and won back another $16. So I did end up making a profit. And I'm at the highest my bankroll has ever been.I'm gonna play a session right now, I'll post when I'm done.I bought Power Hold'Em Strategy saturday and I've been reading that in between sessions. It's a great book, good review. I skimmed the first chapter because it was basic hold'em strategy, but I've read everything beyond that to chapter 3.Has anyone else read Power Hold'em Strategy? What did you think of it? Link to post Share on other sites
TheDonk1989 0 Posted April 20, 2009 Author Share Posted April 20, 2009 I played a short session, won about 7. I'm starting to really get my game together, I'm improving all the time.My post flop play is pretty weak but I've started to be a little more aggressive. I'm gonna take a break and play another session later. Link to post Share on other sites
