Bank Roll Management
I have decided to put my bank roll strategy on here and hope it will help some of you. The thing to remember is that although I play to make money it is also fun.
As I mainly play DYM's and MTT's this seems to work for me. I allways have 3k in my acc and that is my starting roll every Monday. I will start the new week playing 1 £22dym and if I am lucky enough to cash I will play a few more. When I reach £3100 I will then start to play 2 tables. This way I can now play with freedom and dont have to be scared of losing my initial bankroll. By the end of the week I might be playing 5 tables at once but I can now also afford to play the main events. When the week ends I will cash out everything over and above my 3k starting roll and start again.
Please note you would have to adjust the stakes relative to your roll. The main thing is dont get greedy and be hard on yourself because without a roll you cant play well. Start small and go up the stakes when you feel comfortable.
I hope some of you will find this helpfull and remember play within your limits!

Surely if you're gonna play a £22 game and do that, and play with your profits? Couldn't you jjust as easily do this with £1000 or less, cos you're playing with your profits only anyway, not your actual roll?
Get some interest on that cash
please expand i am sure you have good reason .
How long have you been playing? I'd imagine a while if you have a 3k BR. I find it VERY hard to believe that anyone who has played the game for a while could say they've never had a losing week.
Have no clue what your actual bankroll strategy is.
It seems wierd to me that you will 1 table £22 dyms with £3000 and then start 2 tabling at £3100.
Also sounds like you are really scared of dropping below £3000.
Not sure if your a full time player or what but I'm not sure £700 is achievable if you are playing so little volume without a M.E/Roller deep run weekly.
1) You can post results you like without it being easily verifiable.
2) Without being nasty, I don't really care how you do over the course of a week
3) BRM is about long term thinking and not losing your BR. I could take my BR and put it all on 1 cash table, I might double it up, but that doesnt mean it's gonna make me a winner long term. So you showing 7 days results is gonna be no representation of your long term results.
I dont doubt you make money at the game but you same like you have a really strict brm over 3k and u only play 1dym at£22 and only if you win a couple you multi-table for the last few mths a had 1k in my account and i was playin anyfin from 30nl up to 50nl was doin what you said your doin withdrawin anyfin over the 1k a withdrew treated me and my family but weeks a lost plus for example down to £900 i dropped down a level and grinded it bak up to 1k.Im at college and dont have a job at the moment so it was extra cash but took out most of ma br 2 weeks ago so i can get xmas in left £130 in my account so just goin 2grind away at the micros to get back up 2 the 40nl,50nl again but gl at the tables
sorry if this was a bit long guys lol

Basically say he starts by playing with 1% of roll, then spins up his winnings.
Does it matter if he is a big DYM winner or loser, surely it's sound BRM
You could apply this same logic to a roll of £200, and play £2 DYM
Obviously if you drop below the start mark then you have to stick to within 1-5% to make it work for you

You could apply the same logic to cash and say have a roll of £1k, any winning above this you cream off.
Still apply the 1%-5%
He says he moves to two tabling when he's hit £100 yet by all accounts he's not made that yet.
wats a bankroll im wat u call a serial depositer.
hw long does the average dym take neva played 1. think il be rubbish at them cause il want all the chips
1) By the sounds of it, his roll was only 3k since UKOPS (so a couple of a weeks) and so can hardly say at this stage whether it's effective or not.
2) I don't think it's a particuarly great BRM strategy for the majority of players. I'm a big BR nit but that is ridiculous. And on top of that, if he's single tabling £22 DYMs, it's virtually impossible to make £700 profit a week
I mean lets say he manages to get 150 games in per week which would be impressive 1-2 tabling and let's assume he has a constant win rate of 65% which would be pretty amazing...
Stakes - 150 x 22 = 3300
Wins - 98 x 40 = 3920
Profit = £620
So that's 620 profit from probably more games than he plays per week with a nigh on perfect win-rate and without EVER getting any run bad
Hmm
GL anyway.
