Brians Downfall (i knew it would happen)
well yes I knew it, Knew id have a terrible day and get pissed and lose a large portion of my roll. Started the day at $200.00 and played a mixture between $1.00/$2.00 and .50/1.00 and I swear everyone and their mother hit their draws. By the time the smoke cleared I had $15.00 left, as I sat there and wondered wtf happened. I tell you every bad draw that could possibly happened....HAPPENED, 4 board flushes happened AK was getting beat by A2 all sorts of stupid shit happened. Unfortantly It looks like ill be going back down to .10/.20 (which I cant stand) untill I get up to at least $50.00 again. Oh well back to the drawing board.....

I hate say I told you so... So I'll just quote myself from a post I made 2 days ago.
"There's something I don't quite get... Why're you in such a rush? If you put such lofty goals (winning 500 in 1.5 weeks at .25/.5), you're likely going to be disapointed, and could burn yourself out by playing so much." So instead of even doing what you said you'd do, you moved up to .5/1 and 1/2 with a 'nothing' roll? C'mon dude... You got what you deserved. Gutzz |

hey
I moved up with $200.00 roll which is plenty to handle the slopes.....but getting outdrawn in like 12 pots straight will kill it. Thats why I cant stand these lower limits might be better off just depositing 300.00 and go to 3/6 where you can raise and those 3-6 will fold. Or I could just start playing tornies online and sticking to tables at the casinos havent decided what im gonna do yet. |

Are you ####in kidding me? 300 isn't enough for 3/6. It's barely enough for 1/2!
A reasonable roll is meant to handle even the nastiest swings. Getting outdrawn 12 straight times isn't meant to bust even the shittiest of rolls. My hourly SD for 1 table is 19.8 BB (after only 5k hands so maybe this issn't accurate). at 3/6 if your SD was even mildly close to mine, that's a large percentage of your 300 buck roll... *shakes head* Gutzz [edit: Sorry if I sound harsh... I know you're wounded after this nasty day... Just realize that your roll was obviously not large enough for the games you were playing. Last edited by Gutzz; 12-16-04 at 10:12 PM. |

ive been taking 300 to 3/6 for 2 years now its plenty and getting outdrawn 12 times can easily kill a 200 bankroll in 1/2. Man how much do you take with you to a 3/6....1k? We would laugh at you at the casino if you told us that. |

First, I would never take my whole roll to any game. I wouldn't take more than 10 percent of it to any game.
Second, I thought you were talking about online. Third, you seem to be mixing up stacks with BR. This makes no sense to me. Cheers, Gutzz |

Well I think you're abusing the term bankroll here man.
If you only had 200 bucks on PS, designated this your 'PS bankroll', and vowed never to deposit again even if it drops to whatever it's at now, then that was NOT enough for a 1/2 game. If you plan on depositing 300 bucks onto PS, call it your 'PS bankroll' to play 3/6, and promise never to deposit again should you lose it, then that is NOT enough for 3/6. This is what I was trying to say. If what you had was all the money you could 'play' with on PS, then you were taking a large risk moving up with such a shallow roll. Sure it's enough for 1 or 2 or 3 sessions, but the variance could and did eat that roll up ez. You also shoulda taken into account the swings you'd face with so many loose players and chasers... --- IMHO this is a good thing  . I presume you've read 'Gambling Theory and other Topics'? Well I haven't *laughs*. But it's in the mail . lol! I believe the author says in there that the likelyhood of someone busting 300BB bankroll, assuming they can reasonably beat the game, was like 5 percent. (I think I read this in the archives of 2+2... aka: A gold mine). And this's with 300big bets! You're only playing with 100 big bets [edit: or 150 big bets at the 3/6].Cheers, Gutzz Last edited by Gutzz; 12-16-04 at 10:44 PM. |

Everyone has one of those days where nothing seems to go right. It's better to just take a break away from it and find something else to enjoy until you can get the focus back.
