best way to build a Bankroll with 10$

[BrianSwa]

That talk? welcome to the forum john If you think that is bad should of been here a couple months back! Anywho good job on that roll!

He asked a silly question regarding his bankroll size.
I was merely guiding him away from tourneys...
I also likened playing tourneys with a $10 bankroll to that of finding a quarter and a slot machine, or putting all of it on one hand....
Basically it would be hope and prayer... (and even that wouldn't be enough).

Was it a personal attack? No.
Each time he whines that I pick on him and must not like him, he forgets to ask these questions: Did ChipFish even look to see who posted this? Does ChipFish care one way or the other? Did ChipFish actually give me good advice?
Does the good advice change if ChipFish had of given me kind words of encouragement rather than blatently keeping me from doing something stupid with my bankroll?

And Lou: Question for you.
Is there any similarity between the slots and all-in statement, and using your entire bankroll to play a multi?

You're a smart guy.
I'll just answer for you.
A) YES. All 3 are completely determined by luck.
And to answer the next question, No. Multi's are not luck-based.
But there is the element of luck that allows 1-2-or3 outers to hit.

OH.... And goodluck Bigjohnstud....
It appears you have chosen wisely.

I was being serious. I didnt think it was a silly question. Maybe you did. If thats the reason then i can the the silly answer

MTTs aren't based on luck?

Funny. Dan Harrington and other tournament / poker pros disagree with you. Skill takes you a long way, but you need you get lucky and win your fair share of coinflips.

You're a smart guy. You knew that.

And regarding all that other stuff: your advice, in my opinion, was shitty.

[ChipFish]

Let's add the word that should have been there all along but I omitted by mistake. That should make more sense now. My bad.
However, this is the point I was trying to make....
Bad Luck = No more bankroll.
Understand the advice now?

[Aequitas58]

In the future, when you find yourself backpeddling, instead of "my bad," use the Latin counterpart: "mea culpa." At least you'll sound smarter.

It's late, I have to get some sleep. See you all tomorrow.

These $10 bankroll threads make my dick hurt.

BigJohn,

If you have no means to make deposits (i.e. no credit, no money, NO CHECKING ACCOUNT?) it's probably a pretty good indicator that you shouldn't be gambling.

Yeah, it's a free $10, so have fun. If you wanna play in a MTT, enjoy it. It's free money. But, unless you wanna grind it out playing micro-stakes at the limit tables, I wouldn't worry about "building a bankroll."

Whats with the insults on the small bankrolls? I thought this was a poker forum and not a poker for people with money forum. Doesnt seem like the best way to recruit more people. Plus, I have more respect for someone who turns nothing into something, small bankroll into big; its more rewarding too if you ask him.

[ChipFish]

First off dickwad, I am not backpeddling.

Perhaps had I given poor advice to begin with; such as "tourney players at Pacific are really poor, you should play tourneys with your $10 to build your roll", then everyone would be happy. Well, Bigjohn wouldn't be happy. He'd be broke.
It's that simple.

If he's playing with a Starting bankroll of $10, he should NOT be playing tourneys.

Now then.
Advice can change with a different bankroll.
He's at roughly $40 bucks now.
If I remember correctly Pacific has $2+.25or+.5 SNGs....
Easy money there.
Now, he can make the choice of playing micro-limit ring games, or small but-in tourneys.

all chip is saying is that a big MTT tourney has so much luck involved that BigJohn would be better off putting it in a slot machine or putting it on a number on the roulette table.

He said it straight forward and everyone thinks he is insulting him. He isnt ripping the fact that he has $10... he is just saying that a MTT is compared to a slot machine or roulette or some other game with a $10 bankroll since if you cash in like 20% of MTT you are considered good and the odds of cashing in the only MTT you will be able to play with $10 is not good.

[ChipFish]

Wow! Someone gets it! How did I know it would be you Omahillo?
Good job.

On the side... I also kind of hope Bigjohn wins this contest.

I hope John wins the book.
