yea
yea bankroll is one reason but the other would be the fact that I would get crushed. Im sticking to $25 NL, I did good there last couple days with my $50 but I knew that wasnt enough to handle the swings. Really wanted to just see what I liked more the .50/1.00 limit or the $25 NL. I admit though a couple times I layed down hands that probolly would of won just because only had a $50 bankroll...stupid scared money. |

when do you reload??
If you are at say a $100 max buy-in NL table - at what point do you reload to top it back off at $100? I usually do when i get to around $80ish or so. I guess maybe in theory i should do it everytime i dip a little off the max buy-in??

Yup!
In there is the rub my friend. Aggression is power. It is fear. It is what makes poker. The fearless players can do a whole lot as long as they are willing to risk the consequences. It almost ends up a huge guessing game with the best guessers being the long term winners. It is funny how a little more aggressions changes the complexion of the game totally.

At an aggressive table?
After I go through the blinds. That's how serious I am about this. The way I see it, if some jackass with a $300 stack wants to double me up, then I should at least have the decency to let him do so when I have $100 in front of me instead of $94.50 ($100x2= $200) - ($94.50x2=$189) = I lose $11. That's how I look at it.

In theory, this is correct... I'm too lazy to do it though, and it makes my acounting more difficult (I track my winnings every session, of course). I usualyl reload for even numbers that put me close to the original buy in. If it costs me a few bucks from a double up, so be it. It will probably save me those same few bucks from a second best hand just as often...

I'd lose al ot of blinds (meaning I'd be reloading constantly) if I sat around waiting to play until I had the nuts.

Brian,
I just noticed on your blog you have your "starting" and "current" balances. It seems that you restart this every time you bust out and put a another $50-$100 in somewhere. I would suggest that if you really want to get a picture of how you are doing as a player that you pick a start date and from then on keep a running total (which may be negative) with the intention of attempting to be a winning player instead of just not trying to bust out your $50 in a matter of 2-3 days. I realize from your posts in the past that you are, IMO, a recreational player in that you seem to want to play .50/1.00 or $10-$25 NL even if that is more than the bankroll that you "currently" have alotted to poker. My opinion is that with that mindset you will almost always lose at some point even if you get up $100's, you will keep playing until you lose it (going up in limits, etc). Then you can take a break and start clean with a new $50. This could be fun for you and if it is go for it. Not sure if this will help you personally in the long run, but I think you may be fooling yourself by having a positive win on your site when you are really down because of the last 3-4 $50's you lost. I personally would rather know if I was winning and losing overall year to year, rather than playing deposit to deposit, but how you manage your playing is still, ultimately, up to you. Good luck |

If you have a limited bankroll, the easiest/best way to get it rolling is to bonus whore. Especially with the first deposit bonus for new sites, you should maximize the bonuses that are easily obtainable each and every time and drop away with sites that are harder to clear for lower limits.

Stop lying to yourself and stop lying to us. You can't tell me that once you get to $200 or $300 (if you get there...) that you will stick w/ 5c/10c NL.
... And if you do, that's just stupid.

not sure
Im not sure if I have bankroll for this game im not good in figureing that out when it comes to NL but im in the 25nl games have about $150...Is this enough to handle the swings or am I above my head?
I seem to be handleing the swings but I might just be getting lucky and hitting some hands. Also dipping into .25/.50 which i just have enough for . Last edited by BrianSwa; 05-02-05 at 11:14 AM. |

I would say you should set a point that you stop and drop back to the $10 NL or .10/.20 (or .05/.10 if that is all there is). Since you are right on the edge of being at the bankroll for these other games it probably should not be much lower than $100. That way if you lose a little you can drop down and build back up. Then when you get to $150 again take another shot at these games.
Grind away |

No, actually you can play .10/.25 or whatever for the rest of your days if you like, there's certainly no one holding a gun to your head.

Well, Aeq said he'd be stupid to not move up, but I disagree with him. I'm in 100% agreement with you. ESPECIALLY for a guy like Brian, who is known to have gambling tendencies (I'll use that word to be nice), I think it would be a great idea for him to never play anything above the microlimits.
We all know that's not going to happen though. |
