about to go broke, need advice

[scurvydog]

If you're truly down to your last $18 in the poker world, play .50/1 and try to ginrd your way back. Don't put it all down on one last SnG, as that's what got you into the position you're in, playing above your bankroll.

And hit up assorted freerolls. They aren't sexy and a royal pain in the ass but they're free, and more than a few people have turned freeroll winnnings into a decent bankroll. Plus they're good MTT experience.

About to go broke huh?

I'm going to resist the temptation to taunt you considering our previous talk about a $1000 HU match.

I now realise you're just a kid trying to get poker sussed.

I would advise you do some bonus hunting. There are some great bonuses at the various sites - try bet365poker - deposit $50 and turn that over playing 1/2 limit and they'll give you another $50.

Keep going through the dozens of bonuses and unless you're a terrible player, you should have no problem building your bankroll.

good luck

gee thx.... i cant deposit or withdraw though. wanna know why? youre right, i AM a kid (18), which changes nothing besides the fact that i have a lot of trouble buying in / cashing out. once i get above 500 on my empire acct i'll cash some... maybe.


btw our heads up match is still on, unless i do something stupid like go broke in the next hour.... c ya then

i was thinking about grinding out some profit at 0.5/1 omaha hilo, but i thought id have a better chance getting my bankroll (relatively) healthy by playing sng's. whatever, i'm just going to spend it on omaha unless i find a particularly weak group of people in 0.5/1 holdem

Dude, you're just lost aren't you?

[johnbaker]

lol yea pretty much




heyyyy new update everyone..... i made 7 in O8b, then in a huge hand i got quartered with the nut straight.... some jackass stayed in with a 5 7 lo and took half the pot... that hurt me a lot, and after my 5588 met QQ on a board of 54Q84, im down to 7 bux (i never saw it coming because there was a flush draw on the flop and turn, and the QQ guy didnt reraise to protect from flushdrawers at any point during the hand... freakin retard)

anyways im going to chill out for a while, and play a 2 table 5+1 buyin sng whenever i start feeling better about this bullshit....

Hey,

I don't ever play s/gs for similar reasons that were mentioned above...

However, I have heard that a 20 buyin roll is large enough for s/gs. Sure most of you will think it's a bit big, but bigger is almost always better. Almost.

Cheers,
