first post...

That's pretty impressive man, what stakes were you playing at with the $50 originally?

Ojka:
Always playing at 10 Buy-ins (made it 15 now), so I started with playing at the 2/4, playing both 6max and fullring. Nowadays I just play 6max. I had a massive upswing in the beginning, winning 5BI's in one hour or something like that. So I got kinda too greedy. I was doing really well at the 10/20, which was BB/100-wise my most effective limit. My first big downswing was when I tried to jump to the 50/100 limit. Couldnt handle running twice with KK into AA, loosing $200. Now I've studied BR-management...I think my game is good enough at this point (maybe I pay off too often when somebody hits a gutshot or smt. But can't feel bad over that most of the times since I realize how stupid he played...)

u prolly gonna go bustosoon if u play 10buyin rule.

you don't have to study bankroll management - you just have to follow it.
good luck not busting again

I don't feel like going busto

however, we'll see. theoretically you can't go busto since I always buy in with 1/15 of my BR. Losing money means lower buyins, and eventually going down limits.

Don't take this the wrong way, but learn to follow BR mngt. or you will not make it in poker.

do you buy in for like 4/5 of the max BI if you dont have the roll for more? GL at going up (and a small advice: when you move up, extend the BR rule. depending on the game/level you need atleast 20BI, and the higher you get, the more BI you need)

you say you move down if you lose some?

but still you sit down with 100% of your bankroll playing heads up for when losing some of your roll?

yeah, that was when I completely tilted, and didn't care about BR-management etc.

But since I am planning on taking things more serious, I will care in the future. I play now with 18 BI. I think that at 25/50 that should be enough. I'll stay on 25/50 till I have about $2000. Then I'll take a shot at 50/100.

yea 2000$ is a min buy in for 50/100 as long as it's not a deep table

you should totally be playing NL1000 HU if you have $900 in your roll.

actually I was thinking at about selling my parents house and take shots at the 200$/400$. Those topplayers are only human after all
