It takes a little discipline but it has worked for me especially in brick and mortar $3-$6 games. Never go all-in pre flop unless you have pocket Aces and are heads up. That $300 bankroll will last a lot longer and it gives you time to wait for high odds in your favor. Just thought I'd throw that out there. Patience is the key.

Yes my friend, Patience and Discipline are the key of this diabolic game. So you won´t get crazy.

$300 in what period of time?

100 year life is 24 * 365 * 100 = 876K hours. 30% is sleep time. You will also donate some % to showers, food, and other things like watching BS provided by Hollywood.

Life is too short to wait for pocket aces, unless you're playing 9-12 tables at the same time, like I did. Average salary in my country is $500, I don't think that it's a wise decision to sit on a $300 bankroll for a long time if you're living in the US or Canada or in some other country where you can earn much more money by spending your time with a better use for the society and for yourself than playing poker. I can only recommend you to climb higher, and start calling money at your poker account "a bankroll" when you hit a minimum $2K.

Cause seriously, what is better? To be a King who earns $300 per month by watching cards at the screen or to be a Slave who earns $2K per month by washing floors or drilling holes? By the end of the day, when your fueling your car or buying things at the store or paying your bills - they won't ask you there, if you're a King or a Slave, they just want money.

Getting all in pre-river with any hand can spell disaster if you are unlucky enough! Those 1 and 2 outers happen!

So so true i mean how many times have i been at a table AK in my hand and flop comes out Kd 10S 3C so you shove a player all in and they call with KQ and hit the queen on the river.
If there is a possibility of it happening than it probably will. I was reading up on poker hands starting hands there are 169 which go from any AA to 7 2 os being the worst. Also statistically AA starting hands only stand up 33% of the time , KK wins roughly 25% of the time it is played so no starting hand is a sure fire winner in poker. lke anything else you need to have a back up plan but if your sat there with AA or KK preflop im sorry but if someone shoves you all in you have little choice but to call.

Yep happened to me the other night. Had KK preflop. BET 100$ preflop 1 caller.

Flop is AcKh 6s

I push this idiot called me ! I show trip Kings he shows 68s suited. he hit runner runer spades and i was out . straight up donk move on his part. He was a 22/1 under dog at best and had to hit runner runner. He should not of been in the hand after the flop but when you have 5 Gs in your pocket that 600 pot don't mean much to you.

i walked away while his buddy slapped him on the back for his hero call.

This is typical in cash games. People have more money then sense and it makes me sick.
