Holy fuck I was so inspired by a thread I just read on 2+2 about Isildur1. I am playing with $1.20@ two tables. I busted 10's vs 8's early at one table, and was not happy. Been running pretty shitty today. I have stated in my thread that I plan on using good BRM, but at this stage I guess it's to early. I have run up $1.20 at my second table to over $7 in a short span. Plan on playing small ball poker IP and nickel and dime my way there @ my nl4 table. Guys are so bad at this level. OOps....over $8.50 now. HopeI run epic and have a good run tomorrow. Thinking of leaving my table here in a few hands. $8 isn't a lot, but getting felted wouldn't bode well for my psyche. Might post back in a minute.
Still trying to grind my BR up. Have over $12 in around three days worth of effort. Need to get it over $100 asap, whilst also mitigating as much risk as possible. Just not enough micro MTT's to grind. Will keep you all informed.
I won the raffle here on PO today which is nice. Used it for 2,000 points for the client and FR's. Been grinding small stakes still, trying to build a workable BR. Going to be real nice when I get a workable BR again. I figure I will be grinding most of the micro stakes mtt's and sng's in a wekk. Thanksgiving break.... hell yeah. See you guys around.
Well PO free rolls are going terribly for me. Flop middle pair in position 100 bbs deep, and call and raise after a flat call. Turn 2 pair... villain who flatted turned middle set. Like freaking brutal set-ups for me lately. The client is going well though. Hope to really grind out a lot of points through the client and offers so that I can get $50 on carbon. After that I will be 24/7 slamming the micro tables. See you guys around.
Well, after a lot of work I have my BR around $50 with redeems. I have been grinding hard. It took me about a week to get $50 measly dollars. It's more about the progress than the money. There really aren't a lot of micro mtt's on merge, so I will probably play 4nl on merge. I know it's not a lot of BI's, but it's as low as I can grind cash. Hope to grind out a lot of hands and get over $150 in a week so that I can play mtt's up to $3 BI's. See you guys around. Feel free to post hands that you might find interesting. Kinda dissapointed in the fact that no one here really is a serious micro grinder with aspirations. Might have to join 2+2 as well. Well, the FR's are still important to me, since I only have approx $50. See you guys at the table, and please don't hesitate to talk to me about poker strategy.
Nice. keep us posted. I am interested in micro br management :)
That is awesome sickread. Keep grinding away at those micro tables! Be careful of the downswing season, it can really take a toll on your bankroll at this stage.
Poker owned Fr's have been brutal the last 2 days. I have been shut out....which is utterly embarrassing. I have played the micro mtt's on carbon well though. Also sng's and 4nl has been ok. After winning some easy points in the client, I redeemed for some carbon cash. In total I am at approximately $50. I plan on hammering the tables over the next week. Need more participation in the thread. I am needy lol. See you guys tomorrow.
I am a Serious Micro Stakes Grinder....going from $0 and sitting at $74 right now
Hey sickread23, I'm a serious micro stakes grinder right now. I have studied all about proper bankroll management, but 4nl is easy to grind, if you stay conservative and I do not think proper bankroll management is needed completely, although there is always risk involved obviously. I just started grinding today, started with $1.37 and ended at $2.05 after an hour, played only one table and about 100 hands. I got dealt a cold deck today only 2 premium hands out of 100. Otherwise I think profits would have been twice as much, because I could not double up when taking down pots with only top pair mid kicker. Anyways, right now, because the risk is so high to go bust, I'm playing on tables with tight passive players and a few fish (15-25% player/flop, 60-90 H/Hr). That way I can play small ball poker and steal flop pots easily, not get bluffed at so often, and keep myself out of coin flip situations for now. I'm going to hit up some freerolls and keep at the Funsteps to help supplement my bankroll and we'll see how it goes! But I feel like I have plenty of control when I'm playing at these tables, not too worried about going bust.
I'm started at $1.37, i'm currently at $2.05.
Here is my aggressive bankroll management strategy for micro stakes:
• Start by playing minimum BI stacks at 4NL tight tables (15-25% player/flop, 60-90 H/Hr) so you won’t get bluffed often or stuck in coin flip situations. Allows you to steal the pot on the flop. Play small ball poker, increasing bankroll slowly by nickels and dimes. Small ball is very effective at the micro level, catching fish with better hands and kickers. Avoiding coin flips if possible.
o Single tabling with starting BI of $1.20 at 4NL until bankroll reaches $5. Then double tabling with starting BI of $1.20 at 4NL until bankroll reaches $10.
o At $10 bankroll, start single tabling at starting BI of $2 at 4NL until bankroll reaches $15. Then double tabling with starting BI of $2 at 4NL until bankroll reaches $20.
o At $20 bankroll, start single tabling at starting BI of $3 at 4NL until bankroll reaches $30. Then double tabling with starting BI of $3 at 4NL until bankroll reaches $40.
o At $40 bankroll, start double tabling at starting BI of $4 at 4NL until bankroll reaches $100.
o At $100 bankroll, start single tabling with starting BI of $10 at 10NL until bankroll reaches $200. You are allowed 2 starting BI’s of $10 at 10NL, if bankroll drops below $80, you must fall back to double tabling at 4NL with starting BI’s of $4.
Well I am back in the black. Just won a $3 super turbo for over $60. Was really having a rough mtt day until the win. Got HU as a 5 to 1 chip dog. I clawed my way back and won though. Really needed that one. Mtt's are tough, especially at the micro's, because they don't pay very much and there are some brutally bad players. Lost AA for big stack in a $5 mtt earlier. Got called by 4 people AIPF. Guess I have to keep grinding. Since there is no P2P, if a respectable member would play a HU sng against me @ noon tomorrow I would appreciate it....... I will lose on purpose but it won't look like a dump. That way I can buy points from you. I need some for FR's. Need to keep grinding here till I get a bigger BR. LMK if you can.... would appreciate it.
Just got a second in a $2 BI tourney that had like 10 people in in. Kinda frustrating, because I made like $5 as opposed to $11 PROFIT. Oh well.... gotta keep grinding. Going to have to shut it down soon,because there aren't many micro mtt's at this hour.
Have another Ft in my sights. Just doubled with 13bbs with AA vs Aq. Just in time I think. It's only a $5 bounty tourney, but it's a good way to keep the momentum. I would be easily chip leader if I hadn't lost set vs set. Have collected like 7 bounties. Hope I can take this down..... if so I might sleep in tomorrow till like 3 or 4 pm. Keep you posted.... come rail me.
I see you sickread!! On the rail buddy, best of luck!
nice double up with Jack Jack, that diamond flop was really scary, but you pulled it off man! I hope you can double up a couple more times and get into the top 3.
Started yesterday off brutally, but turned it around at the end of the day. I have grinded out a $120 BR in about 3 days. Playing some more mtt's today but I don't know how much. I will keep you guys posted. Hope to have over $250 by the start of Poker Maximus III. I really want to select a few good games in the series. First and foremost though is BRM. Really don't wanna have to start back at the bottom again, it's not any fun.
Just finished the $11 PLO8 tourney I was in. I finished 4/37. Five places payed. Really had to fight to get in the money, and then folded up another spot for $15 more. Really was card dead the whole tourney. I will definitely play more of them.... they are so soft. Bankroll is over $150 after 3+ days of grinding from scratch. More results coming today for sure. Hope to get some volume in and potentially get on the low limit mtt leader-board. See you guys at the tables.
4/50 in the ($5) $500 guaranteed. 190 runners/ 18 itm. Playing well imo.... picking good spots. Hope I get top 5. Just called a 15bb button shove with A2 from the sb. Winning. Now have 47k.... 4/44 atm. Come rail me. 63568611 TID#.
As long as you keep playing smart poker you will eventually get to the top just stay in there it will get better
well i hope you rock it!! I am working on my brm and will see where we end up!!!!
Just finished another deep run. Finished 11/190. Got rivered 5's vs Aj. Was so card dead at the end. Going to fire some more up in a minute.
2/15 in a $5 PLO8 6-max $250 guaranteed tourney. Just had 2 split a pot....guy rivered half with a chased flush. Need to cash to put some profit on the board for the day. Grinded about 8-10 tourneys. Made some cashes, but the real $$$ is at the top, and I just fell short a couple of times. Hope I can snag top 3 here. Trney ID # is 63578948. Come rail me.
That's really awesome sickread. My username is tturne01 on carbon, add me as a friend. I would like to rail you from time to time. Keep playing smart poker, you are doing really well man. I hope to get my bankroll up higher so I can start hitting up some mtt too.
Just got over $160 in my BR. I am going to join Rake the Rake tonight. Going to go for over $100 rake in the month so I can get a free Drag the Bar membership. Also I hope to grind my BR up to over $350 by the start of Poker Maximus III. I don't want to get overly optimistic, but things have went decently, and I think it's attainable. I also would like to make it into at least one of the Sunday Big $109 tourneys via free rolling it. Really need to put in about 100 hours over the next week. See you guys around. Hope I run good.
It has an existing account option. My account is pending since last night. I will see if it goes through.... fingers are crossed. Rough day today. Hope to get some free $$$ via the thanksgiving free rolls and maybe hit the poker owned FR's over the weekend.
Was only like $44 win for 4th place. Took a shot at a higher BI. I am on a downswing atm.... need a win here in this small $2 BI tourney. I am really trying to get some volume by playing some shots here and there. Also wanna try to get on the micro mtt leader-board with a late surge. I don't know how reasonable that expectation is. I guess it will depend on how I run the next couple of days. If I can't maintain momentum, I will have to drop some of the BI's over $5.... that will hurt my volume a lot. See you guys around.
Keep an eye on you BRM don?t play to high...
i want to play that miccro buy in turnaments but i dont have any money and i trie hard to make some from freerolls but i im unlucky please who have some money on pokerstars help me to bring my dream true.thanks to all.my pokerstars id is :fr3aky_07.if you want to make a transfer a little transfer i thank you from heart and i wish you god luck in games.FOR POKER!!!
Let me know if it works for you. I would love to get rakeback on my existing carbon account. Also, I would really be careful about your BRM. It seems like you have had a great run so far, but that downswing is bound to happen and if you don't practice good BRM now while you are up, it will be all the more difficult when you're down. I got my $1.37 bankroll up to $6.32 now, it has been a very slow grind bc of the downswing I seem to be stuck in, but hopefully I will hit an upswing sometime soon and be able to be more creative with the games I play.
If you can't win money from any freerolls, then you'll probably end up losing any money that people donate to you. I would read up on bankroll management and some other strategy books. You can make it itm in PO freerolls fairly easily. I doubt your losses are all because you are unlucky. I hope you can find ways to improve your game.
uve no chance givw up ure planning n playing small stake gamea will never get i top 100 u would have to be playing alot bigger levels to even have a chance lol
