Lol, I really do feel sorry for you Tikay that you have to field the above posts, I genuinely just don't even know where to begin replying to them kinda posts anymore.
I got a question that should be much easier to answer... I'm gonna be at Cardiff after I got the SPT bug at Brighton, and I was just wondering which members of the Sky team are gonna be there? Yourself, Carlo, Anna, etc?
im getting alot of people on my posts about my br management but is a br as important as playing a level you are comfortable with and more profitable at than droping down a level because your br dictates but dont make as much profit or even lose?

If you want to be a long-term success it as absolutely paramount. To put it in simple terms, imagine you were Phil Ivey (arguably the best player in the world), if he chooses to play 100NL and only has 10 Buy-ins, he might get off to a good start build up his roll a bit and never look back, but on the other hand, he could VERY easily have a bad day and lose his entire roll in 1 session, and he's the best player in the world (arguably).
No matter how good you are, no-one can beat plain old variance all the time, so if you don't give yourself enough of a BR to take the downswings, you will go busto, FACT.
EDIT: If you can't beat 10NL, then there's something major missing in your game that will hold you back at 50NL (regardless of how your short term results are). All the regs who make a living at 50NL+ would completely crush 4NL - 10NL, so if you can't there's something missing, you're not adapting enough etc.

To add to lamby's reply.
"Bankroll" for a recreational player does not work quite the same as a pro players bankroll, & personally, I think it should be viewed in a different light.
You should set an amount you are prepared to lose per day/week/month, exactly as anyone with a hobby should set a budget.
Play within that, at any level you are comfy with, & you'll be fine. If you don't spend the allocated "budget", you are therefore freerolling - so just try to freeroll all the time. No feeling in poker is better than having a free hobby - that must be your first aim. IMO, of course.

No need to feel sorry for me, Lamby, the comments (since deleted) don't cause me distress, except for those who make them. They have included, in the last week alone, "see you in **** tikay", & "I've got a rope for you Tony". I find it incredibly sad that playing micro-limits poker can mess with someone's head that badly, I truly do. For every such comment, I probably get 100 really lovely PM's & comments, so it's cool for me.
Cardiff? The current "talent" plan is for Sarah Champion to be the Host (interviews to camera etc), & for Jen Mason to play the Event. Jen is THE most personable human being you could ever wish to meet, & I know you'll enjoy meeting her & chatting with her - she's very special. Sarah is, too, of course, but most of the SPT regulars have already met Sarah, so know just how lovely she is.
For your sins, I shall be there in my usual "front of house" role, looking busy, but doing nothing, though hopefully Dylan will be playing, so the abuse-o-meter will be set to maximum. MBN to be me. Incidentally (incoming chirp alert), you may not recognise me - I've lost almost s stone since SPT Brighton, & plan to lose at least half a stone more before SPT Cardiff. Svelte, indeed. Almost.
Good afternoon Mr. Kendall. I hope it's a good one for you.
My Sunday was nice until I was knocked out of the Primo after an hour with AA. Fortunately I'd satellited in for £2.50 but if you would like a giggle, check out my exit hand from the mini-primo. I posted it in the clinic and it's a little bit humorous. I think I played it fantastically though.
There is a point behind this message. A couple of weeks ago I played in my first ever PLO tournament. I actually cashed in third but that was only thanks to other people playing a bit crazy. I played about three hands and just folded into the money. Anyway, I was hoping you could recommend a good Omaha book. I won't be spending too much time on the game but it makes a nice break from hold 'em and I'd like to know what I was doing.

Yeah it is Salad24 that needed to be entered into the Thews @ Ten tomorrow, cheers for that. I've got IDONKCALLU offering to give up his prize to me this year as well (if he wins) because of my wonderful work in the competition, althought dunno if I can accept.
Thanks for info on the info on Cardiff, really looking forward to it!

I have requested that Head Office enter "Salad24" in tonight's ""Thews @ Ten". I have also included in that request free entry for you ("Lambert180") by way of thanks to you for organising this.
Keep an eye on the Tourney Lobby, both namers should appear shortly.
Thanks Tikay. I've really been working on my MTT game recently so hopefully I'll bink a nice result tonight. I'll post up and remind Salad24 he's playing tonight Posted by Lambert180

Yo Mr Borin.
I will name it, & show a copy of the book I think will best solve your needs, on tonight's Show.
If you miss the Show, I'll give you the details on this Thread tomorrow.
Sadly I missed out on a cash last night in the Thews @ Ten but I'm pretty happy that I played really well througout. Came 17th and top 10 were paid. As I was freerolling, I decided not to allow myself any rebuys so quite happy with how I did for my first go and no rebuys.

Lamby - just remind me - I need to get one of those "HU" winners entered for tomnorrow's Thews @ Ten, yes?
Remind me who, please. (Salad24?).
