bankroll project...

Oct 08 2008, 11:20 AM

Sure many do this but i'm doing this blog more for myself so see if i can keep control of my awfull BR management. I started this Roll with about $188 on full tilt right now i'm at $366 i been playing 4-6 25nl full ring tables sitting with $12 at each table. and playing $2-$3 MTTs the later being since i have crossed the $300 dollar mark. my goal is to make it to 1k cause usually i have a bad day lose $40-$50 bucks go on tilt sit at 50nl-100nl to win it back and end up back at $150 before i realise i fucked up.

over my last 9700 hands on PT my VPIP is 15.09 PFR 5.21 Att Steal 16.14 W$WSF 33.31 Amount Won $169.65 BB/100 3.49 Total AF 1.81

My MTTs havn't been as strong at i would like them i think i been trying to advanced of moves for the $2 and $3 dollar tournies i build a big stack then donk it off trying to get players to fold hands that they will never let go of at these lvls.

hit a $2 mtt for $6.98 finished 16/388
hit a $10 mtt for $18.18 finished 175/1818 (sat buyin)
hit a $8 mtt for $13.92 finished 17/174
hit a $3 mtt for $192.57 finished 1/262

thats really it in Sept. & start of Oct i don't wanna go pulling every mtt since i just starting this project and i played alot of mtts way above my BR before i put my self in check. Right now i'm only playing 1-3 a night depending on how well my kids sleep (2yrs & 1 month)

anyway i'm going to try and post once a week maybe more if i hit a nice run or a MTT but definatly every 10k hands. I work a full time job and have 2 kids as i said before so this grind is going to be alot slower then it might seem to some people.

hey I play 25 NL as well GL at the tables. If I tilt I like to go to something really cheap like a 2 dollar HU sng and just work on HU skills a little.

BR mgmt. is something most people have trouble with especially at the low lvs where pressure isnt really an issue you just really have to stick with your limits and not go on tilt and play games way to high for your BR just remember you cant always win and you HAVE to loose sometimes or else you could never make any money at this game if the terrible players didnt win sometimes they would never re-load. this is especially hard at low limits since the money isnt much for a win it feels like you are working hard for nothing.

my advice is to either put more in your bankroll as u can till u have a good bankroll u can play at that makes u feel like u r playing for some good money or keep up the low limit grind and stick with ABC poker against players who arent going to fell the pressure of folding or who just dont care about there 1-5$ buy in and want to gamble. i found the play on 24$+ tourneys on FTP is so much different and people are willing to fold those A7o UTG etc that 1-5$ players play cause they got A high and hell i cant fold an A lol.
