Building from a baby bankroll

[pigpen02]

Quote from Oz:
I'm going to suggest you consider yourself "rolled" for a level when you've got 50 or more, that you don't move up in levels until you've got that much or more for the new level and that you move straight back down if you run bad at the new level.

To many players forget that moving down is part of BRM. Once they move up, that is it, and they play a losing streak at the new level to zero bankroll.

VERY GOOD TIPS. Very straight forward and direct towards any new players aiming to do this.

This was a good read. Bank role management is something I've struggled with for a while. No more deposits for me, but the next freeroll I win, I'm definitely going to be disciplined with it.

Very nice. Pretty much, but building bankroll is never easy.

I´ve once read an article by Chris Ferguson, it was called "from zero to hero". It was his quest to win 10 thousand dollars starting with nothing only playing freerolls at the start, i think its somewhere in the forum.

Good luck all.

This is some great advise to be able to come back to from time to time and remind ourselves what it takes to have good BRM management.
I have to say I am horrible at it myself. If I win alot I take it off the site or spread it around to other sites. If I go on a downswing I do play a different game to switch it up before I lose my $$ tilting from trying and trying when its not my day. I think having too many sites is not a good thing either because my time is spread out too much and I don't focus on any certain game as much as I probably should..
Thanks for the post . Great read.

I'm trying to build my bankroll by slowly playing freerolls and building it up.

too often online money is treated like monopoly money. Cash out when you hit a target and get cash in hand.. it'll make the money in your account seem more real.

Bankroll management

Good post. I have small bankrolls at most of the sites I play. One or two of them are very minimal mainly because the payouts are small but hey they were won from playing freerolls so cant complain.

Good luck to all on and off the felt!

I'm new in poker but I like play tight and agressive. I know that I can lost all bank, but with the right odds I can have a good return.

Great post sir, I have been playing for some years and have to take BRM more serious. Now, that I am a bit older my patience is a lot better. I will def. keep my BRM goals on track. Then I can share my experience with others.

Lot of great points to consider. One of the biggest ( and toughest) things to do is be honest with yourself on your skill level compared to your competition. If you are sitting at a table with players better than you, find a new table. Even if it means sitting around waiting for a seat to open. And if you are having a rough day, assess why or quit. Don't try to chase your losses. It's a certain way to go from low roll to no roll.

Im doing somthing wrong ?

I've been playing ACR freerolls for like 6 months and only 2 cashes which I lost trying to sat into larger tournys . I suppose I need to get a larger bankroll before trying the sat side . $ 2.50 is a bunch lol .

 

[CallmeFloppy]

Not much choice for you at this point. Grind out those free rolls.

 

[rflbarreto]

really nice and straight!! very good

 

[Raisindepth]

its a good peace thank you,
To me its important i have deepstack's slow blinds and not too big fields.
I do not like cash games that much so i limit myself to 1$ mtt's thats my game and that sucks as my B.R is about 10$ per 2/3 weeks just keeping it going untill i get there. i dont mind the swing's in MTT i actually can stand that very well i feel the players once getting deeper are more thinking about their play then most other flipping players in micro SNG or cash table's
for the record i am well aware i dont BRM at this moment with 10$ br and 1$ mtt's

Think really you have to grind freerolls across multiple sites and build up from there. Also you will also have to deposit to withdraw so if you want to go down this process. My advice would be to deposit either by skrill/paypal so you can move around money quickly rather then using ukash/debit cards. But i would start with freerolls and as many as possible

 

[Andres_0]

i would like to know what is the best way to do a decent bankroll?
SnGs
Tournaments
Cash games: No limit holdem or Pot limit omaha

 

[zooboss]

As for me, u should play freeroll games for a week or two before deposit just for getting familliar with basics: hands, positions etc.

 

[clarence crumpet]

This is exactly what I came to CC looking to get experience with, been wasting too much money chasing the big win.

I usually bust my bankrolls by unsuccsessful bluffs and wrong squeeze spots.. Then i lose confidence and and its hard to for me to regain it . I wish i could control my mental game lil bit more.
