Some payback
20 December 2007
Playd some .5$/$1 NL cash and made most of my losses from the last 2 days back
Hopefully I can keep it up
I thought today about posting something about my bankroll philosophy but now it's to late so I'll probebly do it tomorrow.
I consider bankroll management one of the most important skills in poker. I consider myself a winning player and part of the reason I've managed to make some money is that I've rarely been playing above my bankroll. I've taken a few shots at big sunday tournaments but that's all.
My game philosophy over all is try to beat a level before I move to the next level, or at least feel comfortable with the level.
Let's say for example I would play PL omaha, something I've done very little. I would start out really really low. Maybe not at the absolute lowest level but at least at a level where I can get used to the game.
I'm not sure I mentioned that in my first post but about 8 months ago I started messing around with single table turbo SNGs (I'd only been playing regulars earlier). I started at the $6 SNGs and even playd some $3 SNGs. After 150 games or so I felt comfortable to move to the $16 turbos. I've managed ot get a decent ROI in the $16 turbos but haven't done that well in the $27s.
The reason I play SNGs, and recently some cash is that I want something to keep variance down a bit while playing large field MTTs. Sometimes the stretches can be quite long, and in the meantime it's good to have something to maintain some of the comfidence in your own game
Well, this ended up being, if not bankroll philosophy, at least game selection philosophy
If someone want a little insight in MTT variance, I found these 2 articles quite good. Both are form pocketfives.com.
