Dear LP Community,
this is my first entry and, simultaneously, a request to all of you. But first things first.
I've been here fot quite a while, though I decided to go 'public' a couple of weeks back, when I created my account, I don't clearly remember why.. I mean at times I really had an urgent need to post something, to comment on some hands [or to share something in the ROFL thread, which I love BTW], but never really got the courage [I'm quite a shy kind of person, an introvert you'd say], but since I decided to change something both in my attitude to life and to poker - here I am. LOL.
So this being said, I just wanted to say that I visit LP on a daily basis and must say that skimming through the posted hands alone really improved my game and approach towards playing poker. I come from Poland, [although I'm living in the UK at the moment] and back there poker is generally thought of as a game for gamblers exclusively, who are or will soon be broke; a game in which winning relies on your luck only [I remember when I first decided to share my fascination about poker with my family.. I really regretted that, all I got in response was something along the lines of 'OMG you're gonna get addicted, poker will make your life hell.. - but why? did you ever play this game? are you telling me this from your own experience or what? -..well not exactly..but that's what the TV, the government, the society tells you! [that's one of the reasons I left the country.and my home. but that's a horse of a different colour, heh], anyway LP changed or even shaped my view of this game as a game that requires certain amount of skills. not only mathematical, psychological, but also pure gaming skills [which I still has to acquire :-)]
So I've been playing for some time now on PS, posted some hands [appreciated the feedback, really], and I got a bankroll of $100 [at first had like 25$, sent by a friend just to try out], and I don't really know what to play - which stakes, how many tables, I just don't want to lose all that bankroll within a couple of days. Since this community is made of some really, really great, experienced players, I hope someone will help me out with this and post some guidelines..
I am certainly not an experienced player, though I visit both LP and pokerstrategy regularly.. I think if someone will say something, anything as to how to manage bankroll, which stakes to play, or give any advice at all, I will feel more confident and will play this game more eagerly [although I already fcking love it, lol]
TL;DR -> I have $100 on my PS account and dont wanna lose it, rather- wanna multiply it [safely].
Cheers for your comments, have a wonderful day!

Id suggest the 50cent 45 mans turbos and sng's like that. Cash games are really hard to get into now a days I think sng's and mtt's are where its at for a new player these days, play alot at once dont get mad |

I agree with Target-x17 that sngs are better to build a bankroll. they are usualy softer then cashgames too. the rake effect at the low stakes cashgames is very high too. i would suggest you start with something like the 1$ 90 players sng turbos, and eventualy the 2.5$ 180s turbos. i think turbos have lower rake then normal speed sngs. don't go for the hyper turbos, since you will get a low starting stack and it becomes a lottery. btw the multi-table sngs are much softer during the weekends. play tight at the beginning and once the stacks get smaller in propotion to the blinds it's pretty much push of fold (you can search on google for push or fold sngs or icm strategy). I would try to build the bankroll until you have 300$ and if you feel the need to play cash then start with the 0.5/10c tables. as for a BR mngt. my suggestion would be
300$-750$ 10nl *building BR with sngs is better
750$-1500$ 25nl
1500$-4000$ 50nl
do you multitable, do you have a tracking software pokertracker or hem ? if so, you could post a screenshot of some stats for review.
good luck

play sng $1.50 max sit and go, and play like 10 tables at a time, also dnt rule out the chance of losing it all, ive lost like almost $300 in a week playing 1.50 on stars one time, chk out my results on this link http://playerscope.com/kaab13/pokerstars?pid=45967102&pnid=1, 100 isn't much of a roll anyways unless u have something else in your life like a job so u dnt hav to depend on poker, at least that what i do.. |

90s and 180s with that few buyins and limited experience is akin to buying lottery tickets.
40 bet buyin cash and have fun if you're dead set on playing. |

Welcome! I was like you with the shyness on joining up on LP. Depends on the volitily inherit in the type of game you play. Some say never have more than 2% in a single game, others say have min 200-300 buyins at the level you are playing. Works out to be quite similar. If you have the capacity multitabling microstakes is quite profitable if you can avoid the tilt of all those suck outs. |
