Was $170 your total BR?So I won $170 tonight and then busted out cause i played $33 heads up games now back to br $0.! I played for like 9 hours today too.. i need to set limits
Was $170 your total BR?
At $170, I think $5 SNG's is the highest I'd go. Cash game stakes would be about 5c/10c NL. When your BR gets to $250, go for $10 SNG's & 10c/25c NL cash.

You have the answer, just make sure you set realistic limits.
IMO, if over a year u can increase your bankroll by 10% a month u r doing well. So, $170 @ 10% a month x 12 months = a bankroll of $600 at the end of the year !!!
That's funny math, 170*(1.1^12) [or 170+170*0.1+170*0.1*0.1+...] = $533.53
And I'd hardly say you can increase your BR by 10% no matter what, or the millionaires would be playing poker instead of investing in the stock market. You don't honestly think someone starting with a million bucks at the beginning of the year would end out the year with $3.1 million+ do you?
And I'm American, over here the abbreviation (did I correct your spelling of abbreviation?) is math. This is an international forum and math is correct where I live. You understood what I meant, I fail to see the big deal.First, I`m English. The true abreviation of mathematics is maths, not math (sorry, but this is an Americanism I hate!!!)
If you're going to estimate, say it's an estimate. If I'm going to do a calculation, I like to do it right. if you own a calculator (hell even google's a calculator now) the calculation takes about 15 seconds.Ronaldadio said:Second, I know it was not exact. I have more to do with my time to be that exact.
I'm sorry, the way I read it you made it seem like 10% per month could be expected if you were playing well.Ronaldadio said:Third, I said "If you are increasing your bankroll by 10% a month you are doing well" Key word being If.
I don't know of anyone who can win consistently (even on the magnitude of cents per day) at freerolls.Ronaldadio said:Forth, if you play freerolls any return you gain will be pure profit, therefore not affecting your capital.
Ronaldadio said:Finally, it does not follow that if u increase your bankroll by 10% playing $0.10/ 0.20 u will increase by 10% playing $100/200. IMO, and it is only an opinion, the variabless are less playing lower limits - you can make money playing `ABC` poker. That would not be the case when the stakes raise.
Hope that clears up any confusion

Please don't correct people if you're wrong yourself. 170*(1.1^12) = 170*1.1*1.1*1.1 etc., not the way you showed it.
When I check out this forum I do it as a bit of fun and to have a chat. I own my own business ($10,000,000 pa turn over consultancy) so I am under a lot of pressure and therefore just use this as a chat forum - nothing exact. Its good to hear the views of ppl who enjoy the same game I play.
The basis to what I was saying, to clarify.
If u r talking bankroll management u r taking the game a lot more serious than a lot of others.
So, increasing your bankroll from $170 to $600 in 12 months, although it will be hard, is achievable. I know this because I have done it!!!
I did it on the back of a few wins/ high cash placings in MTT & good bankroll management.
I then moved to higher stakes.
I do accept the profit per hour, but it does not work as well for MTT and SNG`s - its fine for ring games.
Im still in hs so Really nothing for me to buy but pizza and root beer.
2. you don't appreciate poker for poker's sake and just want to gambool
Solutions:
2. WANT to win at the game of poker from a competitive standpoint more than you want to "win money" in general.
