Concept of the Month - Schedule, TOC, and discussion - Page 6 - Live Low-stakes No Limit Poker Forum

just a quick one, can someone with a limit background help me write a section on kill pots in limit vs straddles in NL? Australia dosent have kills in limit games, so with 0 experience wrt kills, help would be appreciated.

Thanks

I wouldn't mind doing a COTM on bankroll management and why it is so important to our improvement as players. Small bankrolls affect everything from our hand reading to our ability to even ante up in the game. Reading APD's COTM WHY AM I STUCK AT LLSNL got me thinking, because I feel like its one of the biggest reasons people are stuck at LLSNL.

I know its not a sexy topic like hand reading, but if anybody would like to go a little more in depth on the "how to" and "why bother" parts of bankroll management I'd be happy to do it.

I'm very busy these next couple weeks. But I will try to have it done in a week. I just want to be thorough and not throw together some random generic bankroll advise.

If not, I am down for writing the COTM on bluffing we have been discussing in the chat thread.

Somebody just let me know I'm greenlighted and what my deadline will be and i will jump right on putting it off until the last minute.

i think you've got greenlight pretty much... doesn't look like anyone's writing one.

i guess Jul 1 makes sense? gives you some time. venice can probably give you an official deadline

but i expect anything goes basically, whenever you can find the time to write it up.

a couple things for the COTM: you probably already had these in the plans...

it would be useful to include a section on how to proceed when our semi-bluff has been called, both when we hit and when we brick.

also i think everyone loves all the HH-style examples in your posts. those would be nice to have throughout the COTM also.

oh wait maybe you were referring to the veto. nvm

would anyone be interested in a "moving up" COTM about transitioning from $1/2 to $2/5?

i *might* be in a position to write one in a few months. it would be very much an open forum format as there are probably many posters with more developed views on the matter.

I have a pretty busy schedule but I'll set aside some time for a "Setting Goals, Creating Study Habits, & Staying Motivated" if you think this would make a good addition to the COTM.

Write it up, send it to me first, and I'll sticky it if it looks good.

While I like mpethybridge a great deal, I've found it best to wait to see it happen before counting on it.

Cool man, here is a sample of my writing and the sources I plan on using.
COTW: Coping with Stress http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/78...stress-937285/

I have all of Alan Shomockers books and will draw from them as well as a few memorable posts
-How to be productive: http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/69...uctive-191196/
-The Theory of Grinding: http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/61...-tl-dr-822668/

This is a great point I'd love to hear and discuss more of. My friend told me the smallest stakes u can play for a living are $2/5 with $1000 a mo in living expenses.

Also, according to a source I'd rather not mention :-D Money does not scale equally with difficulty of decisions, therefore you should always try to move up as fast as possible within a level of sustainability.
