Back To Basics

Hi all.

Had a shocker on cash over the weekend (worse spell for a year) and need some poker re-evaluating time.  I am therefore aiming this week to see how far I can get from a starting £11 (i do have more in my bankroll but will aim to not dip into it) playing what I mainly played about a year ago - £11 Double Your Money sngs and low limit mtts. I'm gonna keep everything posted and above board (kinda like a Webby) and see where I get. So until next Monday you will only see me on the low stakes whilst I try and refocus my game.

    First game £11 DYM and cashed so now on £20.

    Have also cashed the 2nd and 3rd as well so currently on £38.

    Also in Posters freeroll on Wednesday so hoping for a 3rd week cashing in a row!

    IF YOU IMPLY THAT YOU MIGHT PUT ALL YOUR WINNINGS ON A HORSE OR FOOTY MATCH , IT WILL HELP TO BUILD UP THE SUSPENSE .GL M8.

    Good luck with this.

    What would have happened if you'd not cashed in first £11 sng though given you were only using £11 - no play all week ;-)

    I kind of had to do the same last week.

    Had an absolute mare, my worst spell ever 2 weeks ago where i obliterated my roll.

    Had a couple of days where I had to have a real think about what the heck I was playing at but came back last week strongly (played as solid as I possibly could) and have actually recovered my bankroll back to above what it was before i started my super-mega-monster-godzilla tilt.

    Back in business!

    GL Phil.

    Well done m8. It's horrid when a rough trot happens but if u have good bankroll management then at least its not the horror of some of the tales that Tikay has told recently! It also makes u realise that no one is immune to playing uber badly and very tilty/fishy and brings poker back into perspective that its not the money making machine that many people would have us believe it is!

    We have all been there, if only we could learn to quit after losing a little bit of money, but i no with me if i lose a little bit im determined to get it back right there and then, even though i know that if i turned the poker off and played the next day i would be able to play better, but stupidly i dont wait, which of course ends in me losing more money because i am determined to win it back =/

    OK.  Arrived tonight after my son's parents evening half an hour late for the posters freeroll. It's now at the hour break and I'm 6th out of 22 players left with 5800 chips (sry mere with that race).

    I loaded a £11 DYM to play at same time and got the following hand very early on. The chips from it helped me cash comfortably so I now have £62 and am on a run of 4/4 cashes since I started this challenge from DYM's.

    Well have now crashed and burned in the posters freeroll. Small blind with 6,6 and shoved only for Diablo in BB to be sat there with KK!  No complaints there and good luck all those still in.  Booted up 2 more £11 DYM's which are about to start.

    You're on a heater Phil, imo this is pretty poor bankroll management though...

    Standard buyin rule for a decent BRM strategy (which will prevent tilt and swings) is no more than 2% of your bankroll. So with £60 you should only be playing the £1 DYMs really, and grind it up from there.

    Edit: Obviously i dont know your financial status so if you're able to reload beyond that £11 then your effective bankroll would in fact be larger ;)

    If u see he start of this thread, it is nothing to do with bankroll management and more to do with refocussing my game and playing for fun and not cold hard cash.  My actual bankroll is nice and healthy - just not as good as it was before last weekend lol

    Nice one Phil.
    Keep it going.
    I am strong enough to leave the poker alone if I am having a bad day and come back to next day and get back to my winning ways.
