Giving beginners bankroll advice
This is not a BR management thread.
This is a plea to all the great guys and girls who give advice to beginners, and much good advice is given and its a testament to the give-back attitude of the folks on FTR.
But can you plz, for fark's sake stop being a bunch of bankroll Nazis? Plz? Is it possible?
Can we just have a little rule where we stop, re-read and think a bit before a dozen of us fire off a "use proper BR management" posts?
You just ruined a guy's thread with a load of posts telling him to sort his BR management out because he had the audacity to only deposit $50 to play $10NL.
There is NO RULE. Let me repeat that so it sinks in: NO RULE that says that you have to have all your available "poker money" deposited at a site.
So when a guy says he's lost $1500 and deposited $50 can we use a few braincells and consider that it might not be HIS LAST $50 in the whole world?
One person asking whether he has enough to handle the swings is one thing. Another suggesting that maybe dropping a level (ASSUMING HE HASN'T) while learning, or to build confidence is another.
Ten people saying "oooh you're not rolled.." gah!
Let's just say, for the sake of argument that 20BI-$whateverdollarstheydeposited = what they have as a "non-deposited roll" okay?
Step 2, let's just see if they are playing okay at that level before we suggest dropping down. If they player is skilled for a level and has the resources to handle the swings then there is no problem.
