$25 into $2500 on BCP

Ive done something similar to this, it was $100 into $5000 and got it up to $1800 and started playing outside of proper BRM.

Here are my BRM rules, and they are MY rules so before you go typing your criticism I don't wanna hear it.

Buy-ins can not be more than .....
MTT-5%
SnG+Cash-8% (if my sitting stack at a cash table is ever 2.5x buy-in I leave table, or if stack is more than 20% of my BR

Starting date 5/13/2014

Running BR =
$25.00 - 5/13 2 good cash game sessions and a FT in a 300gtd

$54.18 - 5/14 Bad Luck and Bad playing today :/

$32.56 - 5/15 Up and down day today

$36.75 - 5/16 Cant get anything going :/

$33.31 - 5/17 Finally got something going today, took down a 100gtd and good cash sessions :)

$89.78 - 5/18 The word of the day is Momentum!

$122.91 - 5/19 Didn't play on BCP today :/

$107.21 - 5/20 Couldn't get anything going today

$101.98 - 5/21 Another one of those days but did win a $60 ticket off of $3 :)

$117.03 - 5/22 Can you say PUKE!!!!

$80.22 - 5/23

good luck on the br build str8suited, will be a grind and toughest part would likely be getting to the initial 100$ mark steadily to allow some cushion for variance. Look forward to seeing how it progresses.

Good luck man. Keep to your BRM. If it works for you it does not mean it will work for anyone else. Keep us posted as to your progress.

Your rules are pretty good. But the main challenge is sticking to them, whether they're your rules or not.

Yes WILD you are correct that's the hard part for me, I have over $100 now and I wanna play $20 heads up so bad but im gonna stick to it!

Good luck! Your BRM seems a little aggressive but I'm sure you can make it work for you.

those are smart brm and if you stay with it you will make some good loot

First off, gl with this, BRM the biggest struggle most of us (including myself) have
Based on my play style, I feel comfortable at 5% for MTT except that my performance improves greatly once I get into $11 buyins and up, so I go to 10% until im at 200+ BR, then back to 5%, I do 20% down to 10% @ $200+ for DON games, and 10% SNG 5% cash both unchanging, your stand up rules are pretty similar to mine

The Fergulator, a tool based off Chris Fergusons BRM rules, uses 2% MTT, 5% STT, and 5% cash leave at 10-11%. Point is everyone has a comfortable style of BRM that'll work, IF you stick to it. That being said, GL, avoid casino at all costs, and avoid temptation to try to bink that 1 time unless you can get in on stake. Move forward poker warrior :cool:

anyone use fergulator? That is a nice little efficient BRM tool
Fergulator | Free Bankroll Management Program

Thats something to be proud of to turn such little money into that!!! But it doesnt always happen that way now does it!!!

If you stick to what your comfortable with you'll be fine even if I personally don't agree with ur rules...if it works for you then I say my opinion is squat lol.

i use a very similar bank roll management plan . playing cash poker without a bank roll management in place is why so many lose everything in one day .

I wanna try this but i have to discipline myself 1st. NO CASINO! lol

Looking good man, I look forward to seeing your progress. I like posts like these, they inspire me ;)

Bad beat stories are just like ass holes. Everybodys got one and they all stink, so we should just keep em to ourselves. LOL
Lesson to be learned here, stop cryin like a woman and take ur bad beats like a man. It's part of poker.

So are you saying its ok to play like a donk with someone elses money??. At least thats what i took "bink" to mean, am i wrong?

Thank you for those of you who are following my progress, Im feeling good about it, im going to be playing a lot of MTT's this is week, and yes I will be sticking to my BRM rules.

You're doing well Str8. Keep it up and stay disciplined.

Thanks for the suggestion re the Fergulator. Looks like a cool tool!
