Very Basic BR Management:
NL
To Play the Level comfortably and regularly: 50x Max Buy in
To take a shot at the next level: 20x Max Buy in
Limit
Comfortably: 500 big bets
Take a shot: 300 big bets
SNGs
Comfortably: 35-50x buy in + fee
Take a shot: 20x buy in + fee
Tourneys
Comfortably: 100x Buy in + fee
Take a shot: whatever you don't mind losing, I usually use a portion of my profit to buy into whatever tournament I feel like.
For the poster that took second in a freeroll and don't know what to do. I suggest you play the $1.25 45 man and 90 man sngs. They are very soft and you say you're a good tournament player so they should fit you well. |
Is 50 X max buy in not a bit overkill? You could surely have a stab at the next level with a BR that big?
I am quite inexperienced with BR myself, and i'm looking to get to a level of around 15 - 20 buy ins which I think i would do okay with. 50 seems quite high? |
You could do just fine with 20 buy ins, however 50x is recommended because of the possible downswings. I've had downswings of over 12 buy ins more then once. I've recovered from each, but the first time I was playing with just your basic 20x BR and that left me with 8 buy ins ,which isn't enough to really play comfortably so I had to drop levels and rebuild which takes forever.
Even the best players have huge downswings. Sbrugby had a 30x buy in downswing earlier this year.
Notice I did say that 20x is good for taking shots at the next level. You can have 50x and play your level comfortably while taking a shot every now and then at higher levels. |

ive been able to turn $300 into $1700 in only four or so hours by playing $100 heads up SNGs and after winning two or three of those, going into a $2 $4 cash game.
Unfortunantly, i havent been able to hold onto any of my winnings because after my initial HUGE wins, i continue to play for too long and eventually, lose everything. Thus, to make $, i would advise in going all out and taking some risks but once you make it, log off and save it for another day. Dont play exhausted and dont go on tilt if you lose lets say, only 10 % of your stack. Ive lost way too much after making a ton way to many times. |

| I forgot what magazine it was, but in an interview, Chris Ferguson took $1 to 20k, just to see if he could do it. |

Yes that is true, and a few years ago.
Chris took on a new challenge to build a bankroll from ZERO, forcing him to have to play in freerolls to start. I think it's been about 18 months or so and he is up to around $2,500.00. |

Tommorrow (Jul 23), starting at 14:30 EST, Pokerstars is offering a series of "National" $100 freerolls. Specified nations have different starting times. I don't know if this has been widely advertised, so the field may be of a reasonable size. Stars does not often offer pure cash prize freerolls, so this is a good opportunity for those building a bankroll. Stars freerolls are usually feeders into a weekly game.
Look in the private tab for these games. US plays at 18:00 and 21:00, and Canada at 19:30. |

I wish I had started reading these threads 3 days ago when I started. A little late now and I'm learning it the hard way. Similar experience to yours. Started with $50 and got some huge wins in LHE. Got it up to $700 within 5 hours and then lost it all within an hour. Regret sure makes a lonely companion, but at least now I've learned my lesson. |

CheckRazeMudr, I don't want to offend you but I looked you up after reading your post about how you won all this money on Pokerstars and Tilt and decided to run you in Sharkscope. Your record is below. Of course, this is only your tourney play. I couldn't find your $5600 win where you quote "Within my first 3 weeks I built up and won my first big Gaurantee and took in 5600$ on one tourney."
Your record shows that your total profit for Full Tilt is negative $88. and for PokerStars it is positive $22.
Am I missing something here? Please tell me I am mistaken.
Here is a cut and paste of your record from sharkscope. It didn't want to paste right so if you have any doubts, go to sharkscope and run yourself.
Username/ Games Played/ Av. Profit / Av. Stake/ Av. ROI/ Total Profit/ Form/ Network/ Filter/
ChekRazeMudr/ 25/ -$3/ $5/ -70%/ -$88/ Tilt/ FullTilt/ x/
ChekRazeMudr/ 73/ $0/ $3/ 7%/ $22/ - PokerStars
Thanks, kb5zcr |

Worst feeling ever. That's also how I learned when I first started. Hell, I still make that same mistake. |

t.. IE - Tired.. I've done it a couple times and lost money when I knew i shouldn't play.. |

| ChekRazeMudr's stats at www.officialpokerrankings.com confirm what he says. There's a big $5k+ win in there. Sharkscope only reports SNGs not MTTs. |

I was looking for something I could write down and put in my wallet, something simple I could refer to for BRM. Thank you fire eyes2k.
Currently I am playing low limit sit n go low limit MTT and .5 .10 cash games. I started out with fifty bucks and am up to about eighty. Nice to know when I can move up a level, still have a ways to go yet. |

Your obviously trying to get banned. I can help you with that ambition. Suggestion, why don't you just focus your aggression toward the moderators who posts on this site.
Stop following me around on this forum as well. I post here to dicuss poker, your idiotic rhetoric is getting in my damn way. |
