Aggressive BR management strategy + site to try on?

Craggoo · #1 07-16-2007, 10:19 AM

I've been trying to decide between FTP and PokerStars to start a serious roll on. It seems like there are so many posts with FTP is rigged. Now, I don't think any poker site is rigged; however, it does seem like much craizer stuff happens on FTP. So maybe PokerStars is a better option? My plan is to move up to the next level each time I have 20 buy-ins for it. I plan to play anywhere from 6-9 tables, 3-5k hands a day. The goal is to start at 25 nl and at the end of a month end at 200 or 400 nl. Is this possible to accomplish in the time i've given myself and the amount of hands I plan to play? Thanks in advance.

Whats agressive about 20 buy-ins for the next level?
This is the most standard br management out there.

People who complain about a site beeing rigged don't know variance, thats all there is to it.

FTP has rakeback and a 100% up to $600 first time deposit bonus. If you don't have an account there, sign up and make sure you get both.

You will probably struggle to play well when playing that many hands per day. FTP has rb/boni which are pretty good. Also I think that you are being very optimistic about reaching that high in just 1 month.

no.

You'll be doing good to get to 100 NL.

FWIW, FTP has a lot more action than Stars in my experience. Stars games are way too nitty. FTP also has rakeback and an equivalent point system to Stars.

Also, I'd suggest you to only play 1000/2000 hands per day and spend a lot of time reviewing the big hands you lost/won and figure out a more optimal way to play them. Just getting in 3/4k hands a day in without review isn't that great of an idea.

This is assuming you have no experience at cash games previously.

He thinks about sites being rigged and never had a serious bankroll, he probably doesn't have that much experience...

Crag that sounds very aggressive. Why are you chasing limits if I may ask? I'm adopting a similar bankroll strategy - moving up every 20 buy-ins at the next level (and down when I hit 30 buy-in's at the current level) but I'm only planning to move up when I'm comfortable at the current level and my win-rate is such that even with variance I'm happy that I'm beating the level. I'm also slowing down on the multi-tabling so that I can focus on playing better quality poker. Of course that's my course. If you're chasing sustainability, I would suggest that's a better route to follow because if you go on a rush you might even make it all the way up the limits as you're aiming to do but inevitably the variance is going to bring you crashing back down and believe me, its NOT better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all........
