So what's your take on Bankroll management? I currently have 27.00 on carbon and was trying to figure out the best way to increase it. I have heard a good rule is 5% for Cash games and a 1 table SNG, and 2% for a MTT/MTT SNG.

Take it from me. I've blown more rolls on Super Turbos than i can count. you stay away from any 3 minute blind structures, and you'll be golden. I mean if you play one of them you'll get compulsion so very fast, i know i do.
I play micro stakes until you have it built up to $50 and then slowly raise your stakes as your bankroll grows.
Oh and Yes the percentages you mentioned are correct in theory. However, FTP had a ton more games to offer, and tons more traffic, so it was 10x easier to stick to strict bankroll management there.
So for you, Just stick to your niche, build up as much as you can before you branch out. I'd say for me that's SnG's and MTT, not side games. So whatever that Niche is for you, just milk it a lot.
or just throw a couple grand on there and play the big stakes and hope like hell you win. LOL
Ok and Again I'm sorry to keep spamming this post, but I'm real pumped on caffeine.
I'd play the 1.10 sit and gos and a couple of 1.10 MTTs for fun. Wait till your BR builds up till about $50 (however long that may take) because then you'll be able to buy in the .02/.04 side games for less that 5%.
I do not say this part because I believe the Merged RNG is rigged. I only speak from experience. It will beat this Shit out of you. I mean, it really will. So you want to limit your losses by playing fixed amounts. Unless you feel your so good at side games you'll prefer playing there.
Yea, I guess the numbers I have are a more conservative approach. I Could double the percentages and it would be 10% and 4%. Obviously going to take more risk, so you could increase or decrease your Bankroll a lot faster. I actually played some of those super turbo 6 max SNGs last night, and let me tell you I don't recommend it. I think I only cashed in 1 out of 7. I will put it some of those regular 1.10 SNG's in my routine, I think you probably have a better chance in those.
i need to learn better BRM optherwise ill just keep going broke....its sucks
BR's are the key to playing well, not having to worry about playing cause your broke, really helps
Its hard when you dont have a huge roll. But just dont go crazy and try to slowly grind up.
This is true bmeelneg, i could go on a spree and risk much more than I plan. My goal was to keep increasing as much as I can and build the empire. I'm currently up to 32.56.

The easiest and safest way to build it would be multitbling DorN sitngos
Double up touneys are gd... but by far your best BR improvement will come from ... PO. Watch videos, post here and get 400 points a week... thats plenty to get into our $40 free rolls. You play well at all and you should build a BR by playing Fantasy poker, Last Longer Bets, taking the occasional survey and then cashing out points for money on Carbon. I've won $114 in 6 months and have about that many points to exhange - maybe for another $75...Thats an extra $200 every 7 months for almost nothing. you should be able to play .02/.04 all day every day.... Play the $600 guaranteed dazzlers, $1.10 entry etc... NEver miss a free roll ($200) if you can. You should be able to get some Satelite coupons at leat from that. GL.
all good points guys i hear so much about the dons..i started doing some this week..gl peeps
I dont have a roll online currently but when i played on stars i always stuck with mtt's only, and used a 1% rule. I played games that were = to 1% of my role, thus giving me aprox 100 buyins at any given moment. So for instance I had $1500 as a roll, id play $15 and under mtts. It worked very well, and the worse downswing i had while on this plan was for only around 35 % of my roll, whereas ive busted several other rolls using other plans...
no have bankroll
I play micro stakes until you have it built up to $50 grows. hahahahahaha
Bankroll want you win a tournement ???? no ???
trying hard to learn better bankroll management rather than sitting at the max table minimum I can.
i need to learn better BRM optherwise ill just keep going broke....its sucks
Thats not too bad if your playing nothing but $15 games which is only 1% of your stack, all you need is one huge win off those mtts and your in the up swing.
Got my bankroll up to 400 dollars better win this 150 seats bs
I want to play in those 150 seats freeroll but I never get enough points for it. And if I try getting the points one week, Im sure ill lose the freeroll lol.
As for MTTs, there's so much variance in them. I just stick to omaha h/l micro stakes. Working out good for me! Got my $6 from these PO freerolls to $40. Hopefully I can continue winning. Im staying away from MTTs since the structures struck. I play occasional $1 deepstack but no success so far.
bankroll management wtf I have't money.... Very nice 1000$
:cool::cool:I play micro stakes until you
But just dont go crazy and try to slowly grind.,,,, learn better BRM
Thats the problem. people try to go crazy in stead of playing for a while and grinding out the hands they shove shove shove.
yeah this crazy!!! dont slow !
i only play these freerolls and and private games
well you have nice br managment, if you have 27$ play 1$ double up and 1$ mtt :p
my bankroll management usually is as followed: Only lose as much as I have until I get to zero, then find some money and repeat
I was up to around 37.00, but now I am back down to about 7 dollars. Yikes! I did play higher stakes than I should have and lost 13 dollars. It is really hard to be patient when building from nothing!
Put it in a pile and burn it!! lol jk take your time a grind like you have nothing at all .
I win the poker owned tournament ..But I lost money hehehe so My BRM is 0
i like the sng pot limit and fixed limit if you play start at 05-10
in my case i play micro and love s&g of 0.25$ (45 players or 90 with knowtout)
yea still working on my BRM,,, cant get off currently, i have numerous times in the past, just gotta stay focused..
