| Help Me With My Birthday BR!?! NLHE as opossed to LHE So i recently had deposited 15$ into my account on ftp .I didn't do so hot with it at all. I mosty had played freerolls b4, never really did well in cash games(well the play chip nlhe ring games at least), and that is where i practiced is in the play chips and freerolls. Well when i played with the 15$, i joined the ferguson and lost really early on, and it discouraged me. I finish the freerolls in the bubble everytime just about, always the top 100 but not in the money. Also in the face the ac.com rnd1 180 player sng'si can place n te top 2 tables usualy, but only won ftp points 2 times, finished 3rd a few times and top 2 tables any many times. OK, so moving on. My birthday is around the corner, and i have a little extra money, well enough extra to put 40$ on my ftp account, more than last time, but more margin for error i guess? lol which i don't plan on messing up this time.I got couple poker books from the library, and have read segments in those, but 1 is on limit holdem, the only one on cash games, the others are tourament play starategy. I usually play No limit, maybe i will have to learn limit also. I tried to plan out a startegy this time as to what i would ty with what money, and then see what i am god at, and what i just am not good at. I really like tournaments, but i want to make some $$ on a daily basis, and with dry spells and variance more liely with tourny play, i want to try cash ring games, or cash sng's. I feel like i can do well at 9 player sng's, but i want to do well at cash ring games. So i have this plan to use my money like this, to see what i do well in this time. maybe take 20$ and do something like : 5x1$ mtt's(daily dollar//ferguson) 4x1+.25$ 9 haned SnG's(do 2 back to back two times) 5$nlhe cash ring (6x .80 buy-ins?) 5$ for limit holdem & other games PLO, Razz, etc.(i like to play plo, i seem to do well at that sometimes also) ...this all equals 20$, then if i lose it i will still have 20$ So maybe if i try that out, see what im better at, play around a lil bit, and if i lose 20$ then i need new strategy...LOL, or do you guys thinnk a better way woud be to just join a higher up stakes game, and try and build a BR with something like half my BR, then if that doesnt succeeed, try the 20$ thing...I think that doing that last thing would prolly be a bad idea, or at least a easy way to lose alot quik? Well anyy suggestions or comments thta might help me build my BR with these limits would be gratly appreciated, Thaks guys! oh also, does rakebake or anytihing affect me very much at this low lvl, or should i not worry about it until i acctually have alot of money?

| re: Help Me With My Birthday BR!?! NLHE as opossed to LHE poker Your plan is a terrible idea. You will go broke playing that way. Play chip games are in no way even close to real money games. You are just going to learn bad habits playing with play chips. You need to pick one form of poker with a BR that small. If you don't cash in the $1 tourneys you are screwed. You don't have enough buyins with the pay outs that are being paid in the low buyin tourneys you are playing. I know people that have played on table SnG's and built their BR up that way. I would play limit or NLHE, screw the NLHE cap games. Play ring games and leave when you double your buyin, until you gain more experience playing with a deeper stack. Continue to play FR's for practice and to build your BR. Keep in mind FR's play a lot different than a normal tourney would. It's going to be a long road to build your roll, but you can do it. I''ve done it and then threw BRM out the window and had to start all over again. I'm sick of doing it, so make sure you read BRM articles and stick to it. If you follow proper BRM you should never go broke. However, like you said it's very hard to use proper BRM with such a small roll. So I would stick to the lowest buyin 1 table SnG's and play 2nl ring till you can build your roll some more. I would stay at 2nl, until you have $100 to 140 in your BR. Hang in there, you can do it!!! |

| Triggalos is right about focusing on a single game. Pick limit or no limit. Also set a stop loss for yourself. If you play 2NL ring games decide how much you are willing to lose. I recommend 50% of buy-in. So if you find yourself with only $1, get up and go, dont reload or blow it all trying to get back to even quick. I dont agree with setting a stop win though. Once you have doubled your buy-in, reset the stop loss. In the 2NL when you get to $4 set your stop loss at $3. It is a good idea to set a tiered stop loss for yourself. At $6 your stop loss is $4. At $8 it is $6. At $10 it is $7. These are just examples, what those numbers should be is something you need to think about and decide on. Most importantly, you need to stick to your plan. If you have $4.5 and call an all-in preflop with AA and lose taking you to $2.5, you get up and go because you are now below the stop loss of $3. Don't call it bad luck and pretend you are starting over with stop loss at $1. Limiting your losses is good but don't put a limit on your wins. |

I agree with this methood, however, when you have such a small roll, and playing these low limits, if you are at $4.00 and a couple of players are around $4.00, he needs to leave, if he gets a bad beat or put in a tight spot, he is looking at loosing two buyins. Which is why I would suggest getting up and moving tables. He needs to bank as much as he can to build that roll up. Now if he has $4.00 and everyone at the table has around $2.00 then yeah, he's just playing deepstacked and it doesn't really matter. So I agree with what you say Wolfe, however if there are similar stacks to his, he needs to leave. |

Here I strongly agree with Trigga - after he's got more experience/bigger bankroll, I strongly agree with Wolfe. Love the stop/loss recommendation, Wolfe. |
