Hodgey Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 Re: inspired by the mole i reload to the $50 so in theory i can lose more than my $50 depending what happens next' date='i dont leave it so i have $5 on the table it will always be the maximum,same as the winning if i am $49 up the last pot could take my winnings to $98 instead of the target $50[/quote'] OK cool - I misunderstood.

Hodgey Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 Re: inspired by the mole I couldn't let today end like that. I had a look through my hand histories and thought over some of the hands I'd played and decided to have another go. And this time I managed a $49 profit. Mostly through not playing like an arse. So note to self: don't play like an arse. :spank Jan 6th v2 +$49 Overall +$181 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest gazza271 Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 Re: inspired by the mole Well I feel rather pleased with myself :). Did intend withdrawing about 500 euro's from Virgin but after a good couple of days this afternoon I withdrew 1000 euro's into my neteller account (whats that in good old ££££'s ? ) Left a couple of hundred euro's in there and it's back to the .50/1 $ tables for a while :ok Nice start to 2008 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest gazza271 Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 Re: inspired by the mole Right, I now feel I need some other peoples views/advice here :\ Started a session tonight on the .50/1 tables after joining the waiting list. Sods law had it the first table I joined Croc was on there so I promptly left as PL presence is not good !!!! :lol:ok Moved to another table and again struggled and went down to about $60 ($100 buy in) and just did'nt feel I could do anything right. Moved straight onto a 1/2 table and played 30 minutes and left a few quid up, not loads but covered the earlier loss plus a few quid.... start session balance 125.25 euro's end session balance 176.35 euro's Now again I felt very comftable on the 1/2 tables and felt I had good reads on the players there which I did'nt feel on the .50/1 tables :\ Whats going on ? :unsure I shouldnt even be the 1/2 tables with this bankroll but I feel soo much more at home there but am I just getting lucky at the moment ? am I heading for a big fall ? Gut thoughts are yeah stick with it but head says bankroll/be sensible and I am fully aware of a 172euro bankroll for the 1/2 tables :lol:lol:lol:lol but if I look at the last week I have lost money every time I have sat at a .50/1 table and won money every time at a 1/2 table have walked away with profit. Honest opionions/advice wanted please :ok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaF Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 Re: inspired by the mole You're doing great mate :ok However dont get overconfident..... You feel comfortable, but the great thing about poker (that keeps fish playing out of their depth) is it's VERY difficult to know when the game is over your head - you can think you're winning, you can think you're crushing the game, when it is just variance ...... I'm not saying that's the case with you here (I havn't a clue!!) BUT it's a possiblility you should be aware of and careful of - if you dont have the bankroll for it, and it's money that matters, then no matter how good you are, you're taking a big gamble...... Others have said I'm too cautious (and I'm starting to believe they could be right) BUT you have to be careful not to be too gung ho......

A pro playing with a €172 bankroll on €1/€2 tables faces a significant risk (I would guess probability) of going bust..... yeah thats what I'm aware of, 1 bad session could see the entire bankroll wiped out :( Do I stay at this level and buy in for minimum ($100) or go to the max ($200) ? I would love to stay at this level and as said feel good but also totally aware of the bankroll issue. The other thing that "worries" me is that I cannot seem to win at the .50/1 level and maybe it's a concentration issue or could be the "glamour" of winning $200 pots which has been happening at this level.

glceud Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 Re: inspired by the mole Did play the .25/.50 tables this afternoon for half hour but finished exactly with what I started with :lol. Must admit find the play at .50/1 a better table. seem to make slow steady progress there but struggle on the .25/.50 tables :unsure Now you find the 1.00/2.00 a better table, better try the next level soon, dont listen to GaF get over confident. Been playing a lot more NL cash myself and am finding it nigh impossible to get motivated for any of the value freerolls and low stakes MTTS about.

As for BR you are skating on thin ice (1 bad session and its gone) but if you are prepared to risk going bust in order to build a large stack then do it. There should be know reason why you cant do well at 50/1.00, maybe you put more concentration in at the higher stakes and are not giving the 50/1.00 game the respect that you should be. Or maybe you prefer the adreniline flow at the bigger stakes and the smaller game seems less thrilling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
