Sbrugby down to his last $150k on FTP

[Sciolist]

I wonder if it'd be good for him to play smaller stakes, like the $25/$50 games for a while? I imagine that most highstakes players have more ego than they need, and so playing smaller might help them get over that problem.

[tiltnonstop]

so, by his own admission, he

1. is in a massive downswing
2. tilts way too much
3. finds it very depressing to even make a new deposit to his account - seems like he didn´t have to do that in a very long time.

why doesn´t he just drop down with his remaining money to work on his game and mindset - or bust his full tilt account completely playing nosebleed and take a long, long break? maybe he tries to avoid the latter one as it would make failure so obvious?

you often hear of poker players who get killed in one single hand and never come back. seems like that baldwin hand will be brian´s nemesis, semi-tilting him for like forever [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img].

Has anybody in NVG actually played poker before?

I wonder if playing uncapped 500/1000 had any effect on his play when he returned to the 200/400 and 300/600 games online....

[jaroot]

Just curious. But IF he does happen to go bust, does he then borrow to stay at the nosebleed stakes online? Or does he move down? I know I have the same problem (on a 100x smaller scale of course).. in moving down after a losing streak.

How is this bad bankroll management.

I dont get people who see each site as having a roll - its the sum of the parts that is key.

If he can redeposit without losing more than like a days worth of play how is it close to being crappy BR management?

Bad bankroll management is him dropping down instead of redepositing. DUCY?

Considering that no one here knows what the kid's bankroll is, I'm also a little leery of those who criticize the management of said bankroll.
