    In Response to Re: Build A Bankroll 2014- next session Wednesday 22nd 7pm- midnight:
    Right, here's my plan tonight. Main and mini 8pm and 8.30pm. And then 5p/10p cash tables after that until midnight. I'm throwing BR management out the window this week. My starting roll is £63.29 and the plan is to cash in one of the events tonight and/or build back up via the tables. if I can kickstart the roll, then proper management will proceed again from next week! If it goes horribly wrong then I will dust myself down, start with another £100 and start the BR management again! Good luck all!

    I couldnt possibly comment as I have very poor BRM but im sure others on the forum might have something to say!

    I like your optimism...  Play on Mastercash tables after ME exit until midnight.  Not planning a deep run then? ;)

    Good luck anyhow.  Hope you get a big score.   See you on the tables!

    Ha! Of course I'm just being modest. I intend to be playing in both events beyond midnight and not have to go on the cash tables tonight.

    See you on the cash tables later.

    Industrial sized cooler or one of those flimsy picnic coolers that carry about 2 sarnies and a Capri Sun?

    If it was a MattBates size cooler then it would be one of those small ones that only fit one can of beer

    So, no cigar but a decent run in the main tonight.

    Finishing 43rd out of 338. 

    Just 9 off the money.

    Bankroll obviously in tatters now- £13.79 left but I've had great time and I'll be back again next TUESDAY NIGHT doing it all again.

    Might have to top up though first ;-)

    Cheers all. 

    Prizewinners to follow...

    not sure you have actually started with any BRM yet Rich.
    Not complaining about your approach just the inaccurate moniker.

    Haha.

    Well, mis-management is also a form of management.

    As teacakes has said he wants a team bankroll challenge, team defectors v team motorway service station how about having 20 volunteers and the captains take turns in picking so its fair.  Sky gives each team a virtual bank roll and the captains pick one or two players per night to play a tourney on the virtual roll and any winnings go onto that roll.  The team with the biggest roll after, say a month, wins.  As the kids say, simples

    Session 12 (5hrs x 6 tables)
    +£40.38
    Bankroll: £532.22

    Made good money in this session. At the end of the session I remained on one table specifically to stack one opponent who I had seen call off with TP5k no draw earlier in the session. Eventually I instead stacked 2 other players at the table with my loose aggro image vs my chosen prey working for me. The original opponent remained HU and I had nearly 300bb to his 80.

    I don't even know how to describe what happened next.....except that I lost 4 buyins to this guy in the next 20 minutes!! There were a number of bad beats, but when I called off my own stack with KK on AA9 when I KNEW I was behind I decided to save myself from myself and write this diary entry.

    I believe I have just had my first encounter with 'Entitlement tilt' which is mentioned in 'The Mental Game Of Poker'.  I need to reread the chapter!!!

    Anyway I am now in profit and In-form so the future looks bright. Onwards and upwards. I also cashed in the main with my free entry last Tuesday. I was unlucky in a few b vs b flips with POKERTREV in the last 25 or so players and otherwise it was a very easy run for me in this tourney which is a slightly larger buyin than I usually play. I definitely think I will play more medium buyin tournys once I have proved to myself that I can offset the variance with my cash poker winnings.

    Apologies to Tikay for the dry content in my updates. Once I have more profit I might brighten up a bit   :)

    Session 13 (2hrs x 6 tables)
    +£29.08
    Bankroll: £561.30

    Morning all,

    3rd decent winning session in a row. Its true that the regs are very tight but playing 6 tables keeps me involved constantly and the sessions are flying by. Before this challenge I prefered to play 2 tables max but now I am even thinking of getting a new laptop so that I can squeeze in a few extra tables at once. Of course, I have to play a lot tighter preflop than I am used to, but this is a necessary adjustment in cash poker vs decent players anyway.

    I am beginning to prefer multitabling cash games to MTTs which I didnt think would ever happen! I have gone very deep in a lot of the tournys I am playing alongside cash, but havent  managed to build a stack that can get me into a final tbale/winning position. How do other regs manage to switch gears in their MTTs alongside cash? Drop a few cash tables when the bubble breaks?

    Session 14 (1 hour 6 tables)
    +£60.01
    Bankroll: £621.31

    Short blast before 5 a side tonight. Im about to play football for the first time in 6 months. It is going to be cold and wet, I am out of shape, it is going to cost me a tenner in petrol to get there and I wont get home until 11pm. 

    Why play? Because I love the sport. Just like poker!!! Also, my girlfriend has been calling me lazy since I started staying in playing so much poker. She keeps saying I will get fat......   

    At the weekend, I literally burst my pants (!) after eating a 3 course dinner and broke the little hook thingy above my fly. Perhaps I should listen to my gf more!!

    Thankfully, the profit in this session gives me more excuse to play poker. Probably be back on at midnight!!
