Busted my bankroll. now what???

[MAxx]

"My problem is that I can win short sessions, basically short term luck. With strict discipline, I was able to manage $5k to $8k a week averaging $800 a day. But when I grind it out, I can't win. I know it means that i'm not a "winning" player.

If that's the only way I can win, does that mean just don't play long. and stop playing when I reach my daily goal?"


----------------------------------------------------------------------------------I would not go near a ten cent/ 20 cent game until you see why this is retarded.

[DING-DONG YO]

OP, your problem is pyschological and most likely tilt related.

I do appreciate everyone's comment. I just have to accept that I'm not very good at limit poker. I just know that I can't play well, when the sessions are long. Probably because I'm still adjusting to 6max.

It's tought for me to win more than 1 buyin at a table. but losing 3 or 4 buyins doesn't seem to be a problem.

So here's my plan. Please give me your opinions pros/cons. I don't care, lay it on me.

I've managed to double my bankroll to $3100 playing 5/10 and 10/20 last two days.

Playing super short sessions (less than 1.5 hours, sometimes just a few orbits, and take a break.

Don't rebuy if I lose my 1st buyin. Obviously, the players there are better than me, or my cards aren't hitting. And prevent me from going tilt

Don't multitable more than 2 or 3 at a time. I feel rushed when I'm playing 4 tables.

Opinions?

Your reasoning sounds a bit flawed, but I think the things you're gonna change is a start.

One tip I can offer is to max your table selection.

The qoute "if you don't see a fish at the table, it's you" is great.

you havent a Bankrollmanagment > that is why you will go broke...a 300BB Bankroll or even less is just suicide if you dont drop down once you hit 250BB for the next level...also your on a sort of life tilt when you think in Money...you have to think in BB and accept that you dont have the Bankroll to playing 100/200...accept you only have a Bankroll for 2/4 or whatever and then play this Game...

ask yourself what your goal is> obv you want to make money as much as you can as fast you can...if thats you goal then you also can go to a casino an bet 50K on red> you chances are propably better this Way.


I was broke in october 2006...i played up to 3/6 and tilted my bankroll off at nL 1K ...i rebuild up from 0.1/0.2$

20K roll is good for grinding 10/20, 15/30, and taking some shots at 30/60. Nothing will devastate a good winning player faster than poor bankroll management.
