BANK ROLL MANAGEMENT EXTREME

JockBMWJockBMW
edited January 2011 in Poker Chat
Just for a laugh I have emptied my Account down to the princely sum of £1

I intend to see if I can get this up to £100, and if so how long, it would take me, using Micro SNG's and Free Rolls

As anyone who has ever played me at Poker can testify....  ;o) I am obviously not in this for the money.  I play poker for the fun, the social side and the occasional monetary gain.  

So I thought this would be a bit of a laugh to see if I can do it.  My BR management will be simple... 

No more than 100% of BR up to £10 ;O)

No more than 50% of BR up to £50  ;o)

No more than 20% of BR up to £100  ;o)

If it all goes pear shaped then I'll just top up the old account back to what it was before but this should be fun.

I'll keep you posted 

See you on the Tables

JOCK


Actually I lied,  B was set at £1.10 so I could enter a Russian Roulette.  Won that, BR now £2  first double up achieved... Only 6 more to go ;o)

    GL with it Jock - Aftera pretty expensive weekend for me I,m adjusting my BR as well

    I,m putting £50 down with an aim to making any profit within the month with another £50 in reserve (but willl not deposit it until the 20th of Jan in case of tilt) 

    Good to meet another face in person at Newcastle - sry about that bd beat in the £30 deepstack - Unfornately I got up to about 17k after that and made one of the worst folds I,ve ever made in a 20+k and never recovered 

    I let a cpl of the locals on that table get to me and rushed a decision  - a mistake I definately won,t be making again

    I did this a few months ago for Richard's B/R Management Challenge thing.  It took me about two and a half months on and off but I was using MUCH stricter B/R management and I didn't have to reload.  GL with it.

    Hi Paul,  Yeah nice to meet you.  You NEVER have to say sorry to me for beating me in a hand mate.  The hand is never over until all the cards are out.......  Unless you flop a Royal Flush.....  but you know what I mean ;o)

    Hoping to try for the Leeds SPT so maybe see you there 

    Good Luck on the tables

    Hi Wilheim

    Originally I did this just to have a laugh, but your point is well made.   This is a great way to build up BR discipline 

    BR Now up to £21.06.......   I love Omaha ;o)

    It can be done! I won 75p in a freeroll last year, thats all i had in my account. By playing 30p dyms, then moving to 2.10 turbos and playing cash i got up to 80 quid...... o then blew it all :D

    Im going to try a similar thing next month, not been running very well
    in the last couple of days and my patience has been wearing thin
    in DYM. Going to relax on freerolls for the rest of the month, get as
    much prize money as I can and then give this a go.

    Is it crucial to record your results on a daily basis?

    Thanks
    Jonny
