No the donkey was acting like a bit of a donkey. He sat in with the wrong sized stack and placed wrong sized bets previously. He was not showing he was a skilled player.

But yes, I underestimated his drawing abilities.

I let a few winners go, it's part of being a good player and not a calling station.

I haven't declared FT rigged, I am asking the question on this thread. I would prefer if FT wasn't rigged as it suits me for playing convenience.

Good point, but I haven't played at pokerstars, they maybe let me win up to 10K again?

-$400 today and I've been soooo careful, no bluffing and the nuts only.

Ok, a small update...called PF with 66 for $35, hit a 6 on the flop (10/7/6). Initial caller raises. I figure big pair for sure, I re-raise and he raises all in. I call.

He has QQ. It's a 2K pot.

No Queens appear, I take the pot.

+$600 over yesterday but still -$5200 from my high point.

On a FTP limit table last night I was dealt QQ 4 times in a row. The last hand I was up agaisnt KK and AA. Then later I had a flopped FH crushed by 4 of a kind on the river 3 hands later. Variance? Or call Mulder?

That could be something to think about. I have various targets to withdraw some funds.

In any case I've got $2600 in profit in 6 weeks. I'm now applying the brakes and going to sit back and think about what to do next.

Otherwise any other ideas on BR management?

You should definitely put it into Party Poker. There are far more fish at Party Poker - I play there and win. It will be way easier than Stars or Full Tilt, and not rigged like some of the others.

ill be honest, with this being bbv im finding it hard to know whether or not this is serious. I normally just stay out of these quasi sarcastic threads for fear of looking like a spaztard but mate, is this really for real? How long have you been playing the game? it seems as though you havent really got a grasp yet of the variance involved and Im just kinda worried that your a bit in over your head. Theres plenty of threads about proper bankroll management, but suffice it to say you need to be able to loose a fair few buy ins without worrying or altering your correct and optimum style of play, cos [censored] does happen. A lot.

I just feel if youd been playing long enough to be playing this high youd know all this already, hence im thinking about not clicking continue for fear of looking a tit. Alas my good natured side just cant let you loose all your $$.
