Bankroll Management

[Sharking]

To be honest. Setting short term profit goals or target $ amounts is terrible. It is one of the worst things you can do for your bankroll. I played 200,000 hands over the course of 2 months at .02/.04. I would have streaks where I won 7+ sessions. I would have break even days. And sometimes I got crushed. I ended up barely +2bb/100. Whatever. The point is I had a 50k hand streak where I was not even break-even. A 50k hand streak where I went +5bb/100. So many things you cant control. Even setting an amount of time to play is not necessarily good or bad. But its way better than setting a short term profit goal. Long term profit goals are okay. As long as you can come to terms with how long the long term really is.... wow. Anyhow my advice is force yourself to take breaks a little more often than you think you need them, stay fresh. Start with shorter sessions then build up. Quick breaks help. Breaks after losing. Cheers

i DONT KNOW WHAT THE DEAL HAS BEEN LATELY BUT i'VE BEEN RUNNING ON A BAD STREAK. I have been getting donked out by some of the worst hands i have ever seen. I hope my luck changes quickly.

yeah i would go with the amount of time you want to play, never limit your winnings but ALWAYS limit your losses
