Building a bankroll
I know theres been varoius threads about keep a note on how their doing and writing about sessions such as The dons, I was in two minds where to post this sorta thing cos it could of easily of gone on ask TSP, i've been playing for about 9month now and am just about to end my 1st year at uni... which means i've got a full summer ahead so plenty of time to play poker.
Managed to get a decent bankroll so far and feel i'm good enough to make ££, anyway this threads mainly about getting peoples advice on building a bankroll stuff like;
How did you manage to build your bankroll? I feel im a fairly good player and should make £££ but always seem to win some then lose some.
What problems did you have when building a bankroll? I know one of mine is tilting although its not as bad as it used to be, did you find multitabling too much was a problem aswell? I'm wondering if im playing too many tables which means i can't play optimuly.
Do you keep a diary of sessions? I'm thinking of starting to make logs of my sessions to see if i can spot things where im losing much such as playing too many tables.
Answer will be appricated

1k. not bothered about taking money from my br, got enough money to live on, wanna just keep it growing.
I prefer plying lots of tables normally 6 but have been doing 8/10 for c4p, i think this is anther problem aswell i play too much for them when i just shouldn't cos its costing $$ to get them. and yh wanna move up to 50nl like as a reg thing but don't quite have enough, this has been another problem, taken some shots there mass multitabling n suffered some awful beats lol. and i wanna move threw levels yh, i finish uni in two year.. i just wanna get to like 200nl by then so i never have to get a job... (im rly lazy lol)
Tilting is all about mind set, you need to get away from the tables for a few hours or even longer, until that feeling of chasing your losses goes. Ive always found its much more difficult to tilt on sit and gos rather than cash tables because at a set point in time, the game ends, you cant jump in again to make those rash decisions that tilting causes.
BR management is crucial, if you go busto, where is the money coming from to start all over. Also is there a possibility that you could get bored with poker in the future, what then?
Personally, im not working right now, but to give up my career I would need to earn at least 3/3.5k a month at the tables, and playing 10-30 quid HU sng's that aint gonna happen unless I play 15 hours a day every day.
Good luck.
My brm has improved a lot over the last month or so, after having shots at higher stakes, which has a huge adrenaline rush and loved it, after losing im not bothered about trying again, happy to make alot of money at 30/40nl before going higher.
And as for the job thing well... its 2year away, will just try and make aloda ££ before thinking properly about that, dont need to get a full time job for 2 year rly
In Response to Re: Building a bankroll: Is that minimum you'd expect? You do realise that's like the equivalent of a 65-70k job.
One thing I would say to any budding young professional is no matter how good you are, ultimately you will find it difficult to get loans and mortgages. Its one thing grinding a living so that you can live day to day, its another finding the money to pay for a 300-400k house if you are unlucky enough to live in london.
