Thanks for this. I would play 2-5 or 3-3 but I see on weekends they have like 1 game running of each and I’m going to be honest- I think I can win at 3-3 and 2-5 no question but my past results at 1-2 and 1-3 have been really bad. I think a little run bad + a little oh I was drunk and don’t care about the money so making a move that isn’t bright is something I will do.
I plan to take it seriously and study because I really wanna be a winning cash game player- I’m a winning tourny player Live no question but cash- I’ve struggled with. I feel I play a little too loose or laggy at times when I think tight abc poker will make money at low limit games where people make big mistakes.
I think if I play ABC and tighten up- I will grind out a solid win rate honestly. Anyone have solid sub sites to check out for cash? I’m on run it once now for tournies. I want to really deep dive and study low live cash games ($1/2 to $2/5) from hhs so I can learn.
I have played a few $2/5 sessions and have done quite well- last 2 ran very hot honestly- had one day where I turned $750 into 3k but was in Philly not near me. 1/3 has been rough for me but I think I might goof around a little too much which I plan to not do + no drinking when I play. Thanks for thoughts here.
6k- little risk of losing all of that correct unless I run horribly bad? I guess I just want to start at a point where if I add from my personal income a little each week and maybe grind out some profit playing live- maybe I can move up stakes. I think my goal would be to have 30buyinsfor bigger games like 3/3 or 2/5. Kinda just want to be strict with bankroll management so I can play whenever I want and not worry about going into my personal non poker money per se. I’m thinking start 1/3 at $6k bankroll, move up to day a mix of 33 and 1/3 when I have $8-12k, and then obv follow the 30buy in rule for full on 3-3 and then 2-5. Maybe I’m crazy but think I could move from 3-3 to 2/5 in a year to two if I add to the bankroll from my paycheck each week, make a little profit in low stakes games, and maybe add more when I have windfalls from say work bonus, maybe a bigger tournament cash I throw some money to roll, etc.
Basically I just want a poker cash game bankroll just for poker and nothing else. Basically so if I wanna play 1/3 or 3/3 or 2/5, I can go to a casino and not have to take money from other saving spots like my stock market money etc lol.
Final note- I think I can win at 2/5 and 3-3. I’m looking for easy money though and think 1/3 would give me a nice experience if I can play 2 times a week and build some money in profit. I’ll be honest- I do well in life and have a solid career. It does hurt: for example I lost a set to an overpair on a random J72 flop when I had 22 and guy had kk. Guy didn’t flip over cards. Dealer shows turn and river and then villian shows cards after spiking a K on river for a higher set. It was a $1500 pot at the Wynn and it kinda hurt even though I could care less about the money (aka losing didn’t materially affect my finances etc- I was on vacation).
