 Posted: Tue Mar 31, 2009 5:37 am Post subject: Bankroll management Challenge Question |
 |
|
Probably being a bit stupid here but looking for clarification on part 2 of this challenge...
Play 2 cash game sessions where you buy in for 5% or less of your bankroll and leave with 8-15% of your bankroll on the table.
So if I buy into a micro game for $2. Do i leave when i have between $2.16 - $2.30 or is it 8%-15% of my total bank roll deposited in FT?
Cheers |

| This is a tough one for people that take a more conservative BR approach than Chris suggests. I like playing at 2% max on FR so cashing out 8% means I have to get up with 4 buy ins. |

Two points:
1. Part 2 of the challenge doesn't seem to be working right now (check out one of the bug report threads).
2. Your bankroll doesn't include money on other tables. So if you prefer to play with 2% of your bankroll you can complete the challenge more easily by:
First buying in for half your stack at a higher stakes table, then buying in for your usual amount and then standing up from the high stakes table without playing a single hand. Because you had half your stack "in play", 2% becomes 4% and you would only have to double your buy-in to accomplish the task. |

bankroll is the money you have in your account when you sat down. so if you sat down with $50.00, your buy in can only be $2.50 max, and 8 to 15% is $4.00-$7.50. so you have to turn $2.50 into $4.00 or more but less than $7.50.
hope that helps |

so lets see we have a place to learn? and what we learn is how to cheet it to give us credits for a store thats not open? and you learn what from your play? oh yea nothing, the idea is to learn and play better. if you use your method of building up to 8% or more then what do you do to reach a BR increase of 25%?because that amount was recorded when you opened the challenge. so your table buy in method does not help there. i say play learn lose and win as it should be.
but hey i am not the newbie here.

Sorry, I thought up a clever way to make the challenge easier and was excited about sharing it with others. Also, I assume that by posting it here I have alerted the Academy developers to the existence of a leak so they can fix it.
Isn't this just like any cheat code for a video game: some people want to beat the game straight up and some people just want to beat the game whether or not they use the cheat codes?
I guess I'm just an up-up-down-down-left-right-left-right-B-A-start kind of guy.

Since you asked:
To cheat the BR increase of 25% task you first put make a different challenge active, then put more than 25% of your bankroll into play, then make the BR challenge active then stand up. |

| this is a LONG TERM GOAL.it´s not something you might be able do over few minutes.you should ALWAYS have this as your main goal-->to increase your bankroll.but not just to get some 200 point for the store. |
