Default Sick Day!

Well I haven't posted on here in a while. I have been taking a break and doing some reading. However, I thought I'd post about my sick day. It's no JD day but who can match that guy. I started out playing .25-.50 NL on stars this morning with my meager bankroll of $35. I know I was playing over my BR but I can't really stand to play any lower. So long story short I just logged off with a balance of $540!!!!

Great day for me.

later

Default nice


thats all good and everything but If I were you id drop down to .10/.25 so you dont have 1/10 of your bankroll on the table because comming from experience I can tell you that rushs never ever last and before you know it you could be writing.

"well I busted out"

I dont want to see that post so do the smart thing (the thing I never do) and drop down before something terrible happens.

Thanks for the advice. I have a BR management problem so unfortunately that post might come. LOL

But seriously thank you.

thats awesome dude. seriously, thats a nice chunk of $ to win in a day from playing poker, and an EXTREMELY nice chunk coming from the limits u were playing.
if u want that roll to turn into anything decent, start practicing bankroll management right now and play .25/.50 and lower till u get up to at least $800, then go to .50/1.00 if u want.

10 buyins in one day is very impressive, regardless of where you are playing. Congrats.

I'd wager that entire win didn't come from .25/.50. You know he jumped up limits somewhere in there.

Truthfully I just moved up to 50-1. I am at 700. The previous was from the .25 game. Thanks for all the advice. JD I will not stay at these limits if the BR falls under 7. I will go back to the quarter games

thanks again

good control, Just think of it this way. I can either stay at the high limits with the chance at getting to $2k earlier, or go back down, spend longer doing it, buy that brand new laptop, and have money left over!
