#139358772, jst took a hit AK< AQ but still in good shape

it's a ****ing mine field out there today on a ****ing tuesday morning. everyone has the day off i guess. -4 BI in the session from hell. and my internet sucks cause of this ****ing ice storm.

With all the people around, maybe you should set your computer so your password has to be entered if it goes to sleep? Just put it in sleep mode before you stand up and no one can access anything without the password.

Digger HU now!

Go Dog!!!!!!!!

Digger's the man. Takes it down.

This is what I do. I mean I am 99.99% sure my 3 housemates would never do anything with it, but regardless of poker security I just do it so I don't end up with tranny pr0n as my background every time I leave the room.

thanks guys for the rails

How much was the score?

2.7K

well done DOg old son.

What bankroll management rules do you guys follow? Do you guys have a "stop loss" per session? The guidelines I'm currently following are below. I only play 4-6 tables at a time, and I'm thinking my current bankroll management is a bit nitty and I tend to lean on over bankrolled. Any thoughts?

Bankroll managment (cash games)

Level - Bankroll Size
$5NL - $0 - $250
$10NL - $251 - $500
$25NL - $501 - $1,250
$50NL - $1251 - $2,500
$100NL - $2,501 - $5,000

pretty much yeah, but don' let BR stop you playing higher games if you feel confident, the games are good and can handle losing the money. usually I just say to myself 'this $500 is for shot taking, when its gone i move back down' kinda thing.

its not even the guys in the room, but just being logged on and having you poker client log on is so bad. Now anyone who can remotely get control of your computer can take control of the account.

I'm super strict with it, I never have a ton of losing in one session... I don't limit the winning sessions tho. I just think I'm being a uber strict BR nit and have been giving a lot of thought to taking a more aggressive approach.

Congrats on the tourney win Dog, you go Girl

Sorry I couldn't rail but for some reason my employer has blocked access to PStars from our corporate network, can't understand why

This seems pretty nitty to me, but it really depends on what your goals are with poker and what your win rate is in terms of RoR. Number of tables really doesn't matter to your RoR (it's win rate and standard deviation and your sample size that dictate it). I've played 50NL with as little as 15 BIs and did just fine after a withdrawal rebuilding my roll, but you need to have a handle on your win rate/SD to determine how many BIs you need to have, say, a 2% risk of ruin or w/e. Either way, if you're a winning player and want to take shots on the weekends when tables are juicy then do it. Just make sure you set and adhere to strict stop losses.

I think this sounds good, was planning on the following myself but I think I will give NL50 a go when I hit $1,250 and move down if I fall below $1,000.

$25NL - $501 - $1,500
$50NL - $1,501 - $3.000
$100NL - $3,001 - $6,000

This approach sounds rather familiar. (Less than $100 to go.)

I have exactly $87,78 to go, guess we'll be seeing each other at NL50 pretty soon if all goes as planned

Well my goal is to move up to $100NL and $200NL eventually the quickest way possible once I'm sure I can profitably beat it, BUT I don't want to ever go broke so I'm really conservative.

Best of luck guys

50NL is alot easier than 100NL but 100NL is not unbeatable.

Likely you will need a much stronger game to consistently beat 200NL.

Ya I am quite sure I will need to get much better to beat $200NL (that wont be anytime soon), thats why I'm staying at $50NL until I get at least 100k hands. I just am wondering when to take some shots at $100NL... Would it be good to mix in 1 $100NL table with the rest of my $50NL tables?

I hope not. Yes to 50NL move; no thank you at seeing each other. Do you really think we want reg wars?

Judging by the 50NL vids there seem to be quite enough fish to shoot in the barrels without seeking for the armed sharks who shoot back.

Thank you.
