How I'am doing

[BrianSwa]

Just thought I would give a update how I'am doing lateley, If you dont care then no need to read. Some have shown intrest so this post is for them.

starting bankroll: $80


It started out pretty rocky, I tried playing those low limit no limit tables like .05/.10 and .10/.25 but god are they boring. Finally found a nice level at .25/.50 NL, however I really dont have a bankroll for this level and lost a little bit this morning to take my bankroll from $160 to $120 even with me clearing a $20 bonus.

I actully didnt get mad, this is new to me Im finally getting control of my emotions. Even though I lost alot of the pots when I had the best hand when the money went into the pot I still wasnt mad.

So what to do now im sitting here looking at my $120 roll which 1-2 hours ago was at $200. So I went to the $1/$2 LIMIT games and god where they awsome. Very very soft games, played at those table for about 2 hours and moved my roll up to $217. Im not sure if my roll is really good for $1/$2 but I think it is, I usually buy in for the minimum of $20 then if I lose a hand or two Ill move it back up to $20 by adding on. I really like playing with other peoples money....well thats my report thanks for reading.

You need to sit down at a 1/2 table with more than 10 big bets.

Well, I'm in a bad mood.

Anyway, you've posted the same basic thread about 200 times. Not to mention, you've supposedly read all of these books and whatever yet you think $120 is a good bankroll for 1/2. $600 would be more along the line of a good roll here, but you'll probably tell me, "I know, I just wanted to hear what you guys had to say, because I respect the posters here to pieces."

10 BB buy in? When I played at the 1/2 level last year, I rarely saw anyone do that, but when they did, it was a sure sign that they were a terrible player.

any level of play, your bank roll should be 250x the bb so you can handle the
ups and downs
just my opinion

I won got money from a freeroll and now have a$2.50 Bankroll lol. Hopefully it will be bigger next week. lol

The rule of thumb is 10xBB.

My rule of thumb is more then the chip leader.

[PShabi]

10 BB may be the minimum buy-in at most cardrooms, but most people who play successfully know that you want to buy-in for more like 25X the big bet in LIMIT games.

You must be talking buy-in amount and not bankroll, right? Most pros say you should have 300BBs in your bankroll, but you can take a "shot" at it (meaning move back down if you don't start off well) with as little as 100 BBs.

This guy knows what he's talking about.
