Not that hard to find the search lol. Was right in front of my nose. I wil play around with it thank you.
Your welcome. & if I find a few threads I will post the links for them back here on this one for ya.
One leak in a players game, especially at the casino is getting stuck.
Meaning you don't get up and leave until your dry.... You want to be the person who targets those players and not become one of those.
Set limits in your game. Make sure if you play 200nl... You leave the table if you hit 400+ ... If that's too high make it 300nl... Just make it a gettable table before you tend to lose your stack size.
Also soon as you feel your off your A game.
Another thing I tend to find is when you sit down make a note who's at your table, if you see majority of the original gang leaving it's time to probably leave because it's getting late. Unless you identify bad players entering the table.
Also last thing... If you keep getting bad beats over and over? ... Perhaps the first bad beat or the moment where the momentum leaves you, take a break... get up and walk around and sit out.
Bankroll management is the hardest yet most important part.
I used to count cards at blackjack. I learned bankroll management.
Poker takes more patience. I suggest leaving a cash game if you double up. You can enter a new game with the original amount. Then if your winning streak ends, you can quit for a while and break even.
I would say play at a level that you can beat. not what your bankroll can play. You might get busted if your skill is not enough for the level.
leaving while ahead is always hard the last time i went to the casino if i would of left when i doubled up i would of only doubled up but since i stayed until i finally felt tired and felling like i wasnt playing "my game" then i wouldnt be able to walk out with $2300 that i did...
you cant always put a time limit on how long you play poker you need find out when your tilting or when your not playing your game like when bored or tired
that night i walked out with $3k i walked in with $1k like around 6pm original plan was to play a tourney then a little live action but didnt last long in the tourney but started getting hot with cards then it stopped for a few hours then i just starting hitting a few hands here and there and 12 hours after i walked into the casino i finally left with 3k but if i would of left 5 hours before i would of only walked out with 2k so now i ask you this should i left after doubling up or only after 3 hours?
Thank You everyone for great advice. I just play poker, I don't figure odds, outs, percentages. I really just play and get lucky at times and get badly beat. I used to have like 40.00, but now I only have 5.00 left. So I am just winging it lol I just can't seem to keep moving up. I dunno what I am doing wrong. All I can do is keep trying. I think I am a good player. I just need to leave when I am ahead, and rebuy on another table. Thanks again. Good Luck to you all.
I have conflicting impulses when I read this. One part of me says: " cool, he should just continue like this" Another part tells " come on. give him a kick in a right direction. If he is smart he will go there. If not, you have done your duty"
So.
You should figure out odds, outs and percentages, if you want to make money in poker. To leave when you are ahead and rebuy at another table does not work, if decisions you are making are -EV. You shouldn't keep trying unless You spent at least 40 hours reading and understanding and figuring out the probabilities.
