My bankroll management

I am here to get some pointers on what I am doing right or wrong? So your comments are needed please.

Ok I won 5 dollars on pokerstars by placing in the top 50 in the us vs canada games and I made it into the second round.

I went to the 2/4 cent razz tables to start building my bankroll. I slowly turned my five into 10 dollars.

I started using my winning off the razz tables to play the 1 dollars SNG's for NLHE. I dont place in many of them so I figured it wasnt worth the time or money. But I still enjoy playing them but not alot.

So I decided to go to the micro 1/2 cent NLHE ring games. I sit down with 1 dollar so if I loose it it is only 1 dollars. While I am playing this I still focus most of my attention to razz because I get most of my wins off that game. But If I get over 1.70 on the NLHE ring games I get off the table. Its the same as coming in third on a SNG for a dollar and I can do it in a fraction of the time.

Well I built my roll up to 15 dollars and moved up to the 10/20 cent razz games. Knowing that if I go back to 10 dollars I can drop levels.

I have been playing this level of razz as well as playing the micro NLHE and I have got about 25 dollars now in a few days of playing.

I wont move up to the next level on razz until I am around 50 dollars for the fact that the average buy in to the table is 10$. So I want to leave my self a lil breathing room If I take some bad hands.

So what advice can you give me?


pokerstars = earachenmyeye come watch me sometime or play with me.

Umm tony, go back to school or get off the booze. I made this thread for people who can give me real advice, not that crap you just tried to say.

What about STT's? When I get my br around $25 bucks I like to play a few sit and go's. Maybe like 2 dollar buy ins. Anyway I try to do them. I stay away from ring games if I win alot. I tend to lose my br slow but sure. Good Luck!

Bank Roll Management

Thanks kingcurtis. Yeah I would like to find out how to get the monkey with the crown too. I will read thoose.

You're doing it just fine. I personally like to be even more conservative, and never buy in with over 10% of my bankroll. Ferguson never buys in with more than 5% of his bankroll.

I like to follow Ferguson's BR management advice. It's a bit conservative for some, but it sure seems like the swings don't bother me as much.
