BR management help
Hi guys,
Now ive noticed over the last month inparticular my BR management is very poor. Ive had a few of you huys also having massive goes at me for it. I re-loaded £20 yesterday and have worked that back up to £67. Due to 5th and 3rds in tournaments aswell as a couple of S&G's once the MTT part of the site was dead.
So im now back to where i was when i first went bust, but the good news is i actually have a BR on my account to work with. So ive decided, i wont enter a tounament with a buy in more than £5.50. I wont play a S&G with a buy in more than £5.50. Im going to take a break from the cash, i found the cash inparticular very difficult and have decided i shall try and learn live cash before trying again online.
So i think ive got a basis, i will stick with these rules until i reach £200, when i will re-evaluate max buy ins. I find it difficult to play in the lower stake tournaments, and it does frustrate me a little. S&G's lower staked i teand to do well in. So i will play lower stake S&G's but no lower than a fiver buy in MTT i teand to find id be better of hopping over to Sky Bingo than play them.
Anyways, i've got some ground rules set, but my next question is, i would like to withdraw £60 eventually once ive built a strong enough BR. This is so that i put myself back to where i was before i went bust. Im still £160 off getting to where i was when i started to go bust while playing on tilt.
However when is it safe to withdraw without hurting your BR too much, secondly what percentage of BR should you withdraw?
Thanks.

On a side note, i will no longer play on tilt and have worked on a system of playing to avoid going on tilt. It has worked with the Live poker so im now trying it online, and it worked really well last night after a couple of bad beats i managed to pick up and carry on unlike before when i just lost my rag and played terrible poker.

I struggle at the £2 levels but i do extremely well at the £5 levels in my defence to the remark of not being able to beat them then what does that say.
Ive worked alot on my game recently since i took a break from online, ive came back and the two tournaments ive came 3rd and 5th in i didnt really have many hands, i used to just play alot lose alot and recover more on my big hands. However in both these tournaments i grinded my way through almost always below average until around the bubble, certainly after the first break. Infact on the one i finnished third i only played 11 hands played in that first hour and went into the second hour with 4BB's.
Ive also taken alot of advice about keeping my cool about other players games, with that being most of the blame for me tilting. I spoke to a guy who i know who used to always tilt. He went away and worked on his game and managed to correct it to an extent. He gave me a lot of advice and where i was going wrong causeing me to tilt. I worked on what he said and even now i and now ive came of the tilt and been nicer to opponents after a bad beat, usually with a nice hand after words.
The S&G's the £5 level again is my favored i find the £5 is about the correct level. I'm cashing in them alot more than the lower stakes again, not sure why this is, i rekon mostly because of my extremely tight and table image based style i teand to use in STT and MTT's, and with table image not comming into play much to the players that are either not that experianced or still learning that are in the lower stakes i find it harder to play that game expessially if ive got one loose/aggressive player on my table.
Thanks for the responce Blackfish, 50BI's was my target, the plan is to build a very strong bankroll. Theres a tournament in Edinburgh in October i want to play in but i dont want to satellite in because it means registering with websites i dont trust so im going to have to directly buy in which costs £500 + rake so trying to build a bankroll safe enough to enter that without killing it if i fail aswell as still having at least 50Bi's on Sky account.
And im the blue side mate, have been siince i can remember.
