This is my cash games graph.... and I know I've fed more than one family in this month. But please critique why you think these wild swings and what must have been the reason for the slip down the drain in the latter 1500 hands?

Atleast please tell me how I should critique myself.

Thanks a lot ! forum mates !!!

joke right?

But also can somebody tell me how to post it as a image of its own... like a direct image instead of a link?

below your image it said "URL" and had a tag in it...copy and paste that tag between the img tags...not the main site you are at.

so this: http://img27.picoodle.com/img/img27/3/8/30/f_MonthlyResum_3bd34a5.png will go between [img][/img] and look like this:

ty stenrick!! I;ll make sure of that the next time.

Somebody please comment on the free fall after half the chart. What do you guys think it must have been?
If it matters at all...I used to sit on 2/4 NL 6 max tables mostly and very rarely on the 1/2 NL.

It's a bit hard to say for just a month. What was July like? And the rest of this year? A downswing over 1500 hands is not unheard of. I don't know if tilt was a factor, or how much this affected your bankroll, which in turn affected your decision making ...

What stakes are these stats from? What game and structure?

Your question is too general, you are on an $1800 downswing in under 2k hands, which is a problem if you're playing $50 NL full ring, but not so much if you are playing $200 NL 6 max.

If it's mostly 400NL 6max these swings aren't very wild. Your sample is way too small to be of any use when it comes to constructive criticism. If you need to ask about this you should probably play lower stakes.

I mostly play at the $2/$4 NL 6 max tables. How big should the bank roll be to be able to play at these levels?

Honest_Rob · Posted: Mon Sep 01, 2008 2:42 pm Post subject:

The absolute minimum roll you should have is $8,000(20 buy-ins) but to be comfortable you probably want more like $15,000+

To play them as your main game, probably at least 12k. That's assuming you're a winning player in the games you play though, since BR management is a futile effort to say the least if you aren't.

Jesus!

building a bank roll is sooo boring and tasking grrr....I wish somebody shows up at home tomorrow and gives me a BOA cheque for a million bucks and I can just go sit and play and higher stakes Rolling Eyes

OP, if you're playing for the money it's definitely going to be boring with a small roll because you won't be making much early on even if you play a ton of hands. However, if you actually find the game fun you can just focus on that aspect of it until your roll is big enough to make some significant money.
