Min levels

cash 10/25 cent game
SnG 6.50
mtt anything under 3.30 no rebuys

to move up to the next level I will need.

Cash 25 buy-ins at next level
SnG 40 buy-ins
mtt 80 buy-ins

anybody have better ideas, suggestions or concerns over this plan?

This seems like a reasonable starting point, and reasonable plateaus for moving up. Assuming for mtt you mean anything 3.30 and under, that is. And I'm allowing myself that ftp 2.20 rebuy because it is sooooo soft.

Was thinking that too. I'll change title on this one and start a league thread when I have more then my phone to post with tonight.

I am the worst person with bankroll management ever. Ive never really kept track because Ive always used poker winnings to finance other things. Ive played in the WSOP and a couple of bigger tournaments and also play 3.30 online tournaments or 100 tournaments. My thing has always been if I have extra money available Ill play and if I dont I dont. At one point I decided to keep my poker money seperate and did so for about 4 months. It was stagering how much cash I had saved. Unfort, I was outta work and ended up burning through that money. Thankfully, I havent deposited in some time. But am interested in trying a bankroll management as well since I am prone to dropping big coin due to my habit of jumping into PLO cash games. Im open to any suggestions/experiments etc.

My two biggest problems have always been playing when I drink and playing stakes which I shouldnt be playing.

I think up until this past weekend I finally eliminated the former and have seen a big difference in my performance. Have physical therapy shortly but will be playing later tonight. Probably ring game maybe a tournament.

3.30 and under yes tm.

I'm going to restrict myself from the rebuy for now because I have a hard time not rebuying when ever possible. Afterall I'm usually best player at table and Donks with healthy chip stacks is fun to exploit after rebuy. Just could get to costly. To play in a rebuy I will need the br to afford 4 buy-ins so the 2.20 I would need the br to play a 8.20 mtt.

So I came home and sat in a cash game on FTP. After 3 hands I doubled my buy in and sat out my next bb.

Went to the next table and lost a buy in...up 35 cents.

up to 3.53!

getting killed tonight, playing good but getting unlucky.

$5.20

I checked some retard at .1/.2 into going all in with two aces on the table against my pocket aces.

11 cents away from glory tomorrow.

if jw would pay me that $12 he owes me this wouldn't be necessary. I could be shanking mafukas.

i owe you $12?

up to $8. See you ******* tomorrow.
