Hey everyone, thanks for the support - things haven't really gone as anticipated. Had some ups and downs... but ultimately lost my live bankroll. The main reason for this was tilt and also playing some roullette... well might as well be honest with you all. |

I was speaking to a friend recently and he suggested I should just play higher buy in tournaments but only a cpl of times a year that way if I win something at least its significantly situation changing and I'll be less likely to spew the profit away over the course of the next month or so definately has some merit I think. I'm thinking of entering the live £300 PKR main event at end of this month. |

Why are you listening to advice from your bustoass friends, while ignoring tons of FTR advice? | |

Because he's an absolutely addicted gambler not a poker player, and has no plan to follow the advice of people that have got to where he claims to be trying to go. The truth hurts and there is no gamble in the truth. He doesn't really want to be a poker player as evidenced by all the blogs results and the fact that he plays other games with a poker BR. He is just like every other donator we love and why there are sometimes wait lists 10 deep at $50NL and up | |

Slev - I'm not a hater , I (and others) just want to save yourself from yourself.Selling your stuff to play poker is plain crazy , just as playing higher buyin tournaments a few times a year is. Sure if you win its life changing money . But be honest , are you likely to make that money. We advised putting some of your 3000$ winnings to one side and using it for a rainy day , or treat youself/your mum to something nice. |

I apologize for not reading all of this thread or all of your past threads, so if I say something that has already been said or if I am misstating something, that's why. From what I HAVE read, at the heart of your roadblocks I think are some pretty simple concepts related to focus and bankroll management. You don't need to do any experiments. You don't need any advice from your friends. You don't have to figure anything out. The work has already been done. It's proven. It's solid. It works. I get the impression you've NEVER tried it, but if you REALLY want to succeed, I'll spell out the steps for you. If you're more interested in gambling, keep doing what you've been doing and you'll continue to get the results you've got. | |

Jason, when you advise to win 30 BI's "at the tables" before moving up, do you count stellar bonuses or bonuses purchased w/ fpp's? | |

This is just you projecting your own BR nititude on others. You don't "need" to do anything like that, you need to do what's best for your own situation given your risk tolerance, your reliance on your roll, your ability to beat the games and varying degrees of other factors that differ person to person. | |

Wow thanks for the replies guys really motivating to read them. Jason ty so much for taking the time to put that plan in a post. You make the point about brm really clear and you do make me realise that no matter how good I think I am, or how much I don't want to play for pennies, all I'm doing when I do anything else without good BRM is gambling. |

Dozer, I got a bit different message when I read Jason's post. He was using the 30 BI mark to make sure he had his game back in shape for a move up, so he personally wanted to be sure he was beating the game. Note that he only ground out 10 BI's at 25nl, and then moved up. He adjusted his requirements as the games got tougher. |

ugh but slevin you shouldve been around ftr long enough to know all of what jason stated....he just spelled it out i guess. neways the point is start "somewhere" set a goal for X buyins to win before moving up and X buyins for moving down. X buyins can vary from person to person but just stick to what that X is. | |

Hey everyone! Hope you're poker's going well and life in general is. Royal wedding this weekend over here in the UK. Whole of London is slowly grinding to a halt. I'm not really a royalist so don't see what all the hype is about... but I know from watching the news some people have spent thousands of pounds getting over here to watch it... I think it's crazy in this day and age that royalty is still revered in this way but anyway... back to poker. |

First...if you busto, I wanna take your spot. You're very fortunate. I have a small roll on a new site and am playing 4NL (lowest level available) since PS went busto. I'd be glad to start over at 2NL for the coaching opportunity. On PS, I was ready to move up to 25NL with $760 BR. | |
