I really enjot this thread but you really can afford to be playing £5 buy ins with a roll of less than 100 -120 quid it may work for a few weeks but just one day will ruin it! As stated above play on a min of 20 buy ins preferably more! gl Posted by Batkin88
Hi i know your right in what your saying about buyins, and bank roll. But in my defence, i really struggle at lower levels as people seem to call with very light hands and get lucky.
I will keep playing £5.50 and £3.30 unless my Br drops below £40 then i will have a rethink.
Anyway im off to my local where they have a poker game every 1st sat of the month, £20 buy in no rake usually about 15 players, ive played it 4 times won twice and 3rd once.
Now the problem comes, this is a poker comp so has to come from my poker account, so if i dont cash i will draw out £20 to cover it.
Well went to pub and only 5 people to play the tournie so, £20 each buy in £70 for 1st place £30 for 2nd place.
And guess who came home with £70 in his pocket, yes the arce..........Now if i lost i had to take £20 from me poker account to pay for it, but i won so you would think thats £50 profit for me, noooooo thats not how it works!!!! i get to use the cash to buy a take out tonight for the family. Hmmmmmmm not helping me Las Vegas fund at all.
Prorities Gary, But is it a big family or you just eats loads ?? £70 for a take away Whats on the menu? Nice win m8 :-) Posted by Woogie8688
no not big family, just finished Chinese take out cost £30, after drinks and entrance fee and take out im left with £30. will keep this seperate, and it will pay my buy in and drinks for next months tournie....
Hi Gary how u doing, hope you still going in right direction Glen Posted by _G_
Hi im not really moving up or down, just played euro freeroll, im doing ok and top 20, with around 20000 chips, two fold 3rd guy goes all in for 8000ish chips chip leader calls he has around 26000 chips, i push for the lot, holding KK, chip leader calls and all cards on their backs, player 1 has AQ, chip leader has JJ then me with KK J on flop and im out........ cashed for £3.75, but would have been 1st if KK had held. ( 2 hours later cash still not in my account)
Anyway br stands at £52.44 (with £3.75 still owed to me for freeroll winnings).
Im playing £5.50 and £3.30 as i feel the rake at levels below this make it unplayable.
hi Gary, keep going m8, if you don't win enough to get you to Las Vegas you could always settle for Las Palmas. lol (think it's a place somewhere,isn't it?) Spain,maybe. (* *) " ^ dev
