In that case, hide the $180 in your sock drawer and wait until you have another $120 and do the same thing with 3 $100 buyins. I assure you, there will be a game.

Tonight I went out with $800, bought in for $200 and had it all on the table within 3 hours due to getting it in good an losing. I finished up for the night.

Do not underestimate the importance of your pocket bankroll!

Not everyone on the site plays for a living or has a bankroll. Some just like to go once a week or a month, don't want to lose and are here trying to get better. We see people shortstack all the time.

There's no reason for all the snarky responses to this guy's question. Maybe it isn't a good question for 'pros' or serious players. This is a strategy forum that should be able to address all realistic questions. And this is realistic. Guy wants to try to run up a partial buyin.

Like others have said, play tight and try to hit a hand.

Grinch: AK/QQ+ get it in

Lol you are all over the place. You state you want to know what your goal should be. As V said how the **** are we supposed to know what your goal is? Most people go to make money. The assumption is you would do the same. Not sure why you need a post to tell you that.

As for strat, I agree tight is the way to go but realize you are essentially playing one street of "poker". There is nothing wrong with that but if you can't play that one street properly you are likely to lose it all.just based on this thread, I'm guessing you aren't that experienced in poker and that's fine.

Point is you will either run well and make a few bucks or run/play bad and lose it all. Go in with that mind set, have fun and see what happens. There really isn't some great strat revelation coming itt.

lol im winning player 14 years buddy but anyway my writing not that great i guess b/c your clearly misunderstanding ,simply was in conversation with friend about his situation and he presented the question what would be best way to play in his situation i didnt 'need' to ask a thing ,I just thought id ask question in strategy forum for opinions on STRATEGY IN THAT SITUATION , V then asked what the goal was and i answered , also i strongly disagree there is plenty of strategy it just isnt show up and run good or run bad lol and you say im not experienced ya ok
anyway ill add his strategy which was successfull played tight nitted up til flopped set of 9's vs. aq on akx board and doubled but he said he was dealt a ton of suited connectors he never played and the only ones he played were j/10 suited or better ,also alot of A/rag suited he didnt play , the handS he lost were unraised pots in BB where he flopped Ace W/a/rag and 2 pair ,which were hands he wouldnt have played unless in BB

btw i never stated or asked what the goal should be , V asked that after i asked what strategy should be. you should read thread before you read one post and spew out the side of ur neck like arrogant know it all I dont understand the arrogant responses when people come into these forums asking for 2nd opinions or help

also really dosent matter if me or anyone else has been winning player or for how long they played the fact is the games and styles are always changing so nothing wrong with keepin up with times and trying to improve game nobody plays perfect 100% of time and everybody has room for improvement and entertaining opinions seeing thing from diffrent set of eyes .

I think this thread is off the rails at this point. OP, your friend had a good night. I hope he enjoyed it.

Locked.
