lat1982 0 Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 Hey all, I must apologise now if i sound really thick and stupid but this is reason i have joined this site. I want to improve my game and bankroll. I have been playing poker (no limit hold em) for about 18 months now and just cant seem to make my bankroll last very long. I cant afford to put alot when i do, so i do need to make it last. Has anyone got any suggestions. I play tournement poker mostly, the most i have won is around the $400 area. I just seem to get really excited to easy and spank it all. Again sorry if i sound stupid but some help and advice would be much appreciated Link to post Share on other sites

Really, the only way to make it last is to never have more than 10% of it in front of you, play a limit that makes sense for your roll, etc. I dont really follow that shit but some say it works.

mrpaddyx 13 Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 How Is Posible To Accept All In Withouth To See The Floop ? But seriously you need discipline and control when playing. Oh yeah and don't play when your drunk. Link to post Share on other sites

Never have more than 5% and that number is still high. Play it safe and never have more than 2% of your roll at a single table and if you are a good player you shouldn't go broke pending a massive downswing. Link to post Share on other sites
hblask 1 Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 If you are a losing player, you will always run out. The percent you have at the table will determine how slowly you lose it.If you are a winning player, then you need to worry about the percent you have at the table to avoid bad luck wiping you out, and then take the advice above -- 5-10% should be fine.Based on your post, it looks like you are not a winning player. In that case, play .01/.02 and enjoy yourself, because you appear to be doing this for fun, not profit. Link to post Share on other sites

Any other helpfull tips would be great Link to post Share on other sites

Suited_Up 2 Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 Like Ko8e said... 10% is too high.Try to have at least 25-30 buyins for cash games, probably a bit more. Link to post Share on other sites
vbnautilus 48 Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 Read the strategy forums (http://www.fullcontactpoker.com/poker-foru...hp?showforum=61) and post hands for advice when you encounter situations you are unsure about it. The only way to get better is to study the game, discuss it, and think about it intently. Link to post Share on other sites
JSpencer 0 Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 Oh yeah and don't play when your drunk.^ good advice. Though playing drunk tends to be much more fun. Till you are sober and realize how much money you lost. Link to post Share on other sites
Loismustdie 0 Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 ^ good advice. Though playing drunk tends to be much more fun. Till you are sober and realize how much money you lost. On the other hand, if you are drunk enough and lose your whole roll getting two outered, you will probably have already pissed your pants so it will just blend in . Link to post Share on other sites
