Re: Busto in less than a week -- is this to be expected?
You need to learn about BANROLL MANAGEMENT!!!
The reason you busted out is BANROLL MANAGEMENT!!!
If you're playing $2+.25 SNG's with a $50 bankroll, you're playing above your bankroll. 30-50 buyins is standard so you'd need $67.50 to $112.50 to play at this level.
If you're playing $10NL with a $50 roll, you're playing above your bankroll. Standard is 20 buy-ins so you would need $200 to play at this level.
If you are a begining player, then you want to give yourself an extra buffer to cushion your mistakes. That is, play with a BIGGER bankroll than standard.
Even good professional players adhere to bankroll management standards. This is because even good players have downswings.
If your bankroll is $50, you should be playing $1 SNG's. There is no limit small enough for you to "safely" play NL ring. However, you could play $5NL but be aware you still have a significant chance of busting out because you're playing short-rolled.
Do not buy-in short in cash games, drop down and learn to play poker properly.
