Where/how do you build your Bankroll?

#1 18th September 2007, 11:52 PM

For me the easiest way to make $ on Full Tilt Poker is playing $5.50 HORSE Sit N Go s. I find that the competition is easy and if you play tight you can easily make the money if not 1st every time.

Also, I find that the lower buy-in tournaments are easy to cash in due to the recklessness of the majority of the players.

Thoughts on low buy in Sit N Go tournaments ( 1 Table )
Thoughts on low buy in tournaments ( Ex. The Ferguson )
Also, list the site you are referring to. PokerStars and FTP are a lot different.

Where/how do you build your bankroll?

I think SNG are ideal for bankroll building, you can be a little less conservative with your bankroll management. At low levels, play tight, bet your big hands, don't slow play.

There is a nice two page article in Inside Poker this month about how to boost your bankroll

If at all possible you should avoid $5+50 SnGs as the 20% for the house is hard to beat.

$10+1 with 10% for the for the house is a lot easier to stay ahead of over a decent sample. I appreciate not everyone has the roll for it but it's an important consideration.

Isn't .50 10% of $5 ?

O nuts. I'm at home with a temperature at the moment as my defense. I was thinking of the probably now defunct $5+1 SnGs which doesn't excuse the shocking maths.

I'll get my coat.

No biggie, didn't mean to put you on the spot like that, just confused me a bit

Back on-topic, my best and most steady profits have come from cash games.

#8 21st September 2007, 3:51 PM

Well if you do cash games better, play those, and give me some tips please, as I am the other way round

Trust me, it is not easy to make the money, let alone get 1st every time. Im guessing you have played a very small sample size, b/c a very good ROI is 20%, meaning that you would make about $1.10 profit for every tourney you played, if you are playing the 5.50 S&Gs.

S&Gs are a great way to build your bankroll with little risk (as long as you arent putting too much of your bankroll into each S&G) b/c you can only lose a set amount. In a cash game you could go on a big downswing and lose quite a lot of $$$$$.

I don't build it.
I destroy it.

Unfortunately I build my bankroll by depositing more money.

Generally I win enough at live tables to support my MTT habit. It hasn't been going so well lately though. This is generally on UB.

Do you mean my $5.50, 9 person SnG 6 game sample of 3,2,3,1,9 (tired),1 is not a big enough sample? I can't count on 132% ROI? Darn, back to the drawing board!

I've managed to build my BR from $50 to over $200 by playing mostly SNGs and trying to follow strict, but simple BR management-30x buy-in (including rake) for SnGs, 50x for MTTs, and 5% (I buy in) of my BR for cash games.

I started of playing $2 + .25 (turbo) SnGs and then moved onto $5 + .5 SNGs. I disiplined enough not to jump up a level when Im not ready and do drop down if I have to.

Some of the things I've done that have really improved my game are:

-I dont multitable as much. I usually play 1 game at a time, but at most I'll only play 2 at a time.

-I pay more attention to the table(s) and its players now. I did before, but not much. Now, I take notes and I watch everything that goes on.

-I found and fixed leaks in my game: C-betting to often, pot stealing to often, calling river value bets to often, etc.

-Knowing my strengths online. I do far better playing in SnGs than I do playing in cash games and MTTs. Even though they're 3 different games all together, with different strategies. I play more SnGs than I do cash games/MTTs, I play more cash games than I do MTTs, and I play cash games the least. I try to improve my game by playing in each one when I can (especially MTTs), but as for building my BR I prefer to play SnGs.

i play on tilt and the way i increase my bank roll is by playing cash games . for me it is razz . when i started i had 50$ and played at 25c 50c in 2 months[practising banroll management and a strategy]iwas able to get it up to 1k$ steadily moving up in limit until i reached 3-6 and withdrew my earnigs. i think u need to play cash games to grow and increase ur bankroll

#18 22nd September 2007, 6:54 PM
