thanks for your post omahonyo, i also suffered that prob when high bankroll. taking money of for car and hols ect. brm is harder than i thought, well thats bit wrong to say really as ive never really had brm. hopefully fresh start for me. gl if you do attempt to move up if not see you on tables soon :P
This is an excellent thread with a lot of good advice thrown in for free but basically i think it all comes down to what you want out of playing poker.Ihave to say to AceAceBaby the fact that you are thinking about your br management means you are already making progress as a poker player and i have no doubt you will crack it if you keep analysing what you are doing wrong.
cheers spike ive never had brm and thats affected my poker life so far i think. sucked going broke but hopefully i can control myself abit better in the future. once im started which will be fri 29th as gotta put br back on this site i will try keep people posted on the other thread BUILD BR like some people have been doing. thanks for all the posts and advise. all possitive posts

Yeah it was fun like picking money up off the floor at one time i remember a game we played on £1.50-3 not sure if it was you or cottlad anyway there was that donk who lost about 12 full buy ins in under 2 hours.That was my best day game in a cash as i caught 3 of them :-).I don't play on here much at the moment but if i see you on a highstake cash game anytime soon i will give you a verbal beat down via the chatbox :-) GL with the challenge mate take care.
lol they were the days, i was prob the donk you are talking about whilst tilting :P best memories of early days is my JJ vs kegsys AA AJ2 flop all in after flop 700 pot and rivered a J rem him stating in chat box when turn was a 6 please no jack lol. neway gl mate, im gonna start using sky as my main account again as community is so much better than ova sites. take care
Interesting thread. I've only been playing for about 5 months now. Have had to deposit again this month after busting. Only play 2p/4p and the occasional tourney. Since New Year have had a bad run - some bad play by me and some bad beats (last night had pocket kings, raised pre flop, flop was a 6 pair (2 clubs). Bet the pot, "villan" goes all in I call. He shows 2 3 (one club) and turn and river also clubs so I bust out. Anyway I digress, is it best to take time off and build the bank roll up to 3 figures (not including the decimal point!) or is it best to play only occasionally while building it up "to keep my eye in"? I'm not playing to earn a wage from it, just for fun, but it's not fun at the moment.

if you want to take a shot do it, if you think your game is good enough for £5-£10 e.t.c do it
there is little point you tackling a grind at 0.05-0.10 if you cant adapt /respect the game down there,
i guarantee if your a recreational player after a few sessions of grinding you will be bored at that level.
"I garentee this is a winning strategy, it aint half boring like"
dohhhhhhhhhhhh this may well have been a winning strategy a few years back but it certainly isnt now especially on the 6 handed tables here
