And cheers for the quick reply to my questions. Appreciated, I am going to ask a few more, don't want to make it a regular occurence as it will seem like im being a pest. Anyway here goes...
I read you started off at the low limits but it seems you have built up so quickly and to play 25/50 quid blinds is pretty amazing imo especially as you seem so down to earth.
Anyway do you work to a bankroll? I have heard alot of the pro's saying you should only play £1/2 with a minimum roll of £3'000 (it may even be more, I can't quite remember.)
I mean £3'000 is like £300'000 to me. Bear in mind I slave my arse off for £40 a day at the moment.
As I said, I want to start in poker and take it seriously in my spare time but I don't think I have the bankroll to start and I certainly can't see me grinding away at the low limit levels as I have always said there is too much luck in those games. I think my minimum is .50/£1 so what would your suggestion be for a minimum bankroll?
And for STT's or MTT's what would be your bankroll suggestion?
And also, do you recommend any sites in particular?
Thanks again. |
I dont mind you asking me questions at all, but i can only t3ell you the answers from my experience perhaps some of the other guys in here will give their views too.
Bankroll - ok i never adhered to any bankroll rules i just did what felt right, but i never put my roll in jeopardy. I think the rule is min 20 x BB. but we are all different and sometimes ( if you can afford it) its nice to take a flyer at the next level. If you feel under pressure their or take a hit move back down and grind your roll up again. Its the best way to move dipping your feet in the big game , go back down then try again, eventually you will feel settled their and you do it all again ( when you feel ready).
I've always said you need to be a consistent winning player by that what i mean is if you play 30 sessions a month you must win 25 of them ( cos when you lose its usually more than when you win) at whatever level your at. I know what you mean about the lower levels but i won a lot of money at .12/.25 so if your games right it can be done and you can learn where your weaknesess are without it costing you too much.
As for Stt's and Mtt's i think there are better qualified people in here to answer that than me, because i have never had to rely on them to make cash so i can afford to play whatever ones i want.
Recommending a site,I think this is down to the individual and what your after. Not sure if i'm allowed to do this but i will give you my preference. I have always played on boss media and i play on
Virgin poker. I've been happy there and the poker manager is really good to deal with, which suits me.
You have made the first right move by coming to this forum as their are a lot of knowledgable people on here, that will certainly give you whatever help they can.
PS i cant splel either
