Bankroll Building

[Sharking]

As most of you know I'm a Micro and freeroll player. With a investment of maybe two hundred dollars or so buying points here and playing a few thousand freerolls at different forums (most pre Black Friday). In the last 5 or 6 years I've cashed checks from poker sites for a total of maybe in the $6,000 to $7,000 range. Now I play 8 to 10 hours a day, every day. You figure that in, it's not that big of a return on the time spent playing. I just LOVE the game of POKER.

we all love this game. casinos make 50bb/100 hands. pros grind it out for 5bb/100. and the rest of us pay them. rake + sharks ROI / fish = cost of playing.

$1/2 NLHE Live.
cost = 50bb/100 + 5bb/100 (pro) + 3bb/100 (grinder) + 2bb/100 (nit)
/ 6 (# of fish)

6 players pay 10bb/100 hands each. so at 1/2 $20

This is such a good point. You have to love the game and want to play, not just the money. Thanks for the post wagon. Helps me keep my focus on playing good and winning, no matter what stakes.

I've been on a sick micro heater on carbon. 2 weeks ago I was down to about $1.50 and with playing some 0.11, 0.60 and 1.06 SnGs and a $4 hit on a PO freeroll I'm up to $23

bankroll management is the most important part of poker
