Brians Downfall (i knew it would happen)

[BrianSwa]

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*

[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.

[BrianSwa]

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.

[BrianSwa]

just wondering how much do you buy in for in 3/6, we talked about all this in another thread about 1 month ago but want to hear what your buy in is.

[Gutzz]

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,

I would only buyin for 25-50 BB for any game. If it drops a lot but I think I'm playing good, I'll inject a few more. If it drops and I think I'm playing shitty I leave .

What you buyin for isn't your roll, is it? Looks like we might be talking about 2 completely different things lol!

Cheers,

read the thread right above yours you just posted wrote it as replying, no im not mixing them up at all. You should never have a downswing of more then $300 in a 3/6 if your just playing 1 table. If you lose $300 before you hit your upslope then you are looking at way to many flops and giveing away bets, simple as that. I buy in a 3/6 for $100.00 I always have and most time I hit my upslope before I go through that .

[BrianSwa]

are you saying BB as big blind or big bet because people use that abreviation for both if your buying in 25-50X the big bet in 3/6 thats alot of chips but if its the big blind Its about what I buy in for.

I hate to tell ya, but I think losing $300 at a table of 3/6 over two nights is not that uncommon. Getting sucked out on will do that for ya. That is why I made sure I had 1800 online before I even started playing 3/6. Most nights you will not lose anything near that much, but when you hit a bad patch then your entire 300 could be wiped out.
