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 |

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, Gutzz |

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 .

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.

You're the guy who I offered to take a look at hand histories for right Brian?
You declined help, and said you were just gettting sucked out on... I hate to break this to you, but the few hands you posted you played were complete money losers in any position. Q-8 or Q-9????? I buy into live 5/10 games with approx $250 I rarely need it, but that's my standard buy in. Internet is more, simply to avoid being picked on as a small stack. I think you are confusing "bankroll" with "buy-in" No one in their right mind would bring their entire bankroll to a table. If you lose your bankroll, that means you are broke. If you lose your buy-in you can always buy more. You have been playing poker with your entire bankroll (not smart). And you have found out early what can happen when you do. Try and have approx 8-10 "buy-ins" as your bankroll... Do NOT play above your bankroll.... I guarantee you will lose. You may get lucky for a while... maybe even a couple of days or weeks. But you will get hit hard with a lesser bankroll.... Take the advice or don't.... It's not my money, Although it could be I suppose  But it is good advice. and I wish someone had told me that when I first started.

no
no im not a moron I know the difference between stack and bankroll, I just wasnt thinking about the slope in the long run just at the present time. Looking at my hand histories I dont want or need if you listened to the last couple posts thats not where i fucked up but playing above my roll. I stopped running Q-9 and Q-8 and stuff out of position so I do know that but I do appritiate your offer chip. |

I am willing to bet you've got quite a few leaks in your game that need to be plugged up before moving up limits....
I'm not saying this to be mean.... I am saying this to help you out. If you really think you are a winner, then by all means go for it! And good luck! (I'll even come cheer you on in a sit-n-go )If you keep losing and think you are playing strong poker, then maybe you have more to learn.... (Everyone always has something to learn, no shame in that) Good luck either way.

Coming into this late here, but I would say you might sit at $3/$6 with $300 and that would give you a good size stack. You seem to be saying that is your bankroll, and that (since it is one buyin) is not enough of a bankroll for $3/$6.....or $2/$4, or $1/$2.
I do agree that if you have other money that you can re-deposit if you bust out of that original $300 then you "bankroll" is not $300, it is unlimited (until the divorce, then its 1/2 of unlimited  ). If you are trying to run up a set amount through the levels, IMO, you have to leave yourself more than one buyin at a level to keep from busting out with the type of run you describe. By jumping up to $1/$2 too quickly you didn't leave yourself an out to fall back on. You titled your thread "I knew it would happen" and I think that is right. You knew this would happen if you kept pushing up through the levels. At some point you hit a level that you can't beat OR just get a bad run of cards, and when that happens you need to have enough left to take one step back. You now have to either take 3-4 back (.10/.20) or redeposit. Just my opinions, take em or not... Good luck building it back up.
