How should I go busto?

I'm just tired of grinding any more and I have $22 left on Stars. How should I go busto?

dont pull a stormswa.

I say go for it. Put it all out there and play your ass off!

Go the 5.50 route, win 'em all and yer back in business.

I'll trade you for UB $$$ or FTP $$$. I need PS $$$.

stormswa is right...but if i were i would pick the 5$ games. but since u said that its on stars. here is a suggestion for ya. why not do 3.40 10 man sit n gos and throw in a 3.25 45 man sit n go. once u get yr account to 50$ then do 5$ 9 mans and keep playing 3.25 45 mans every once in a while. if ur a good player this should get u to about 100$ in about 3 days just by doing this

How should I go busto?

call me crazy but judging by the title of the thread...I doubt very much that good bankroll management is at the top of his priority list here. I voted to go out in a blaze of glory in the $22 btw lol gl

and one more suggestion...dont do the 22$ one cuz if u do ur gonna either play to tight or 2 lose...i know when my whole br is on the line i start playing tighter than usually and my game is different and i know i wouldnt do it but its all up to ya

Well I did use proper bankroll management for most of this run. $100 for 5 months of entertainment is not too bad.

Sorry Sticker, but I hate UB and FT.

I'd say the $5.50's. You got four chances, and if you have any where near a decent win rate, all you need to do is pull one off and you can do it all over again

how bout me and you heads up !! huh ?!! you got your 5 months worth !
wait a minute , i just remembered something , im not that good and i dont have $22 , nevermind . my bankroll starts at $22 and i would play the 1.10 sngs w/ one $5 ring game in there. BUT since you're tired of the grind and you usually only play sngs , id jump in a $25 max ring game and go out in a blaze of glory.!!!

shortstack $100NL gogogogo

I'd play a H2H $22 game which they are very very winnable (and then a $33 one and then a $55 one, $132 if you win all 3, and it'll take less than an hour). I wouldn't recommend the $1 games, they're 1.20, not 1.10 for a start, and you wont be properly focused if you play at too low a level.

$22 is exactly what you need for this!

Join a 0.5/1 NL table and wait for premium hands.

I would do the Sngs 45 man and play it like you have already won
GOOD LUCK

I would go $22, I know how you feel, small winnings mean nothing, you want

teh big bucks win!

You said you're tired of grinding and you put 20 $1.10 sitngos among the poll choices? I don't think that's a good idea, as Rob said you wouldn't be properly focused.

I'd go with the 4 $5.50 ones, chances are you won't go busto right away and if you play the 45 seat tournies you get almost $70 if you manage to win one. Winning those are far from impossible.

Of course its terrible BR management to play them with only $22, but you started this saying you're tired of grinding...with that in mind this is the way to go.

Well the 20 $1 sngo would be the best option. But, you said you are tired of grinding so i say 4 $5 sngo.

I think Dakota's idea is the best, just my opinion...

Lots of good ideas in here, thanks everyone.

Well even though the most votes were for the $22 SNG, I decided to go with the four $5.50 SNGs. Here is the first one...yay...another bubble.

like my favorite poster would say.

if u still have 11 on sunday then I would try the 100k turny cause u can win a lot if u make FT

Yeah, I've played in the 100K. You have a better chance of being struck by lightning than winning that thing.

exactly....."IF" thats the right word for it what do u think r the chances of that happening?

If the goal is busto, then let loose with it. Let it ride baby, let it ride. Buy into the highest SNG you can with what's left. If you cash at all, roll it up to the next one. Keep playing the highest you can and roll, roll, roll it up or go busto. If you get to $1000 stop and reevaluate. If not, then you've achieved your busto goal as well.

very good point jd but i doubt that would happen

A friend of mine has been pwning the $16-$25 games over the last few weeks, and you know what? A few he's cashed in without even playing in hand. After thinking a while, you should do one of those

Wouldn't matter in this case. Normally I'm a BR mgmt nit, but in this case he's giving up and throwing away $22 (well, less now). So why not just let it ride like with the horses. Put it out there and take any winning and keep playing as high as you can. It'll fail soon enough and he'll go busto anyway, so why not try for going out in blaze of glory.

lol i guess if he wants to go bust...i have never seen anyone try to go bust. i know everyone wants to win and if it was me i would do what i said in my earlier post. do a 5.50 9 man 3.25 45 man or 1.10 45 man and probably 5.25 heads up since im a good hu player and i would probably build up my br just by doing hu. i have builded 5 to 50$ on full tilt just by playing heads up nothing but hu. started with 2.15 got my 5$ to 10 played 6.50 won it and then kept playing 6.50 till i got to 50

The goal is not to go busto, if I can run it back up, I'd prefer to do that. I'm just not wanting to do proper BR with under $20. The title of the thread is kind of a tongue in cheek type thing. Knowing that because I'm playing outside of my roll, I'm most likely to go bust.

I admire that some people are able to easily take $5 and run it up to $50, but that doesn't happen to me. And I'm not a terrible player, I'm ITM on SNGs 40% of the time, I'm in the top 4, 57% of the time. The sample size is not large though, only 123.

I played 2 more, $5.50s, I finished 7th in a Stud H/L when someone rivered trip 2s on me. And I finished 3rd in Omaha H/L and made $3.50, so I'm presently at $14.50.

I still say that if you're going to through BR mgmt to the curb right now, then do it right, go for broke, and let it ride.

BUSTO!
