Miffs first (and last) bankroll thread and operation.

[Miffed22001]

Tomorrow, no more university!
So im going sort-of 'pro' i guess until i get a job or something, so this is my progress thread. Prob be a good laugh to see how i do.

Current BR.
($750 pending Martins 15/5/06)
($775 pending WASA 1/6/06?)
$775 on wasa at mo, $550 in neteller, $300 from prima (perhaps lost lol)
$920 disposable funds probably just to be added to bankroll.
Total $2545 ($4070 when bonuses clear)

Target1 $5k to play 5/10 lhe 6max on party. (complete by June31st)

Target2 $10k to play 10/20 lhe 6max on party. (complete by July 31st)

Semi target1 $3k on prima to play upto 5/10 6max (1or2 tables only) due to quality of games and mtts. (any time this br might reach more than 5k id just pull money out and put into party, thus max br here is 5k)

Semi target2 $2.2k on stars to play 20+2 180 man SNGS on br only.

Semi target3 Use $550 in neteller to bwn TAF bonuses on b2b worth $1.1k plus possibility of additional $1.1k on another deal on that site, plus $11k on that network from bonuses if i so choose.

Total target $15.5k by july 31st if possible but acceptable target $10.2k by same date to set up seperate rolls and play 5/10 on party.

Two caveats: I dont want to play higher than 5/10 on prima if i make a br there, and the mtts have been good to me and are soft so i want to play there regardless, but play ring games on party. Im not mentally ready for higher than 10/20 yet either. I may consider a move to 400nl should i reach $10k anyway but for the moment i want to play lhe. Ill probably do the b2b tafs first so ill be adding about $2.5k to the br in mid/early june which should mean my first target of 5/10 should be acheivable by then, if not the 10k target.

K ill post regular updates and stuff.
gl me.

[Seasider]

GL hope the poker Gods smile on you...

[elipsesjeff]

I'd get a job until you can sustain yourself more permanently with a higher bankroll and play at higher stakes.

[Miffed22001]

im looking dont worry, however i dont graduate till june 28th and i dont want ot have to play poker full time anyway. Plus im not movin home until the end of july which is why this period is a test to see what its like. Id work for 18odd months anyway i think for the experience.

[Muxy]

miffed = donkey

jk jk

I need to post an operation not to go broke Part: XIV

[Renton]

don't set a goal for br.

If you do set a goal for BR (such as 10k ), you might go on a crap stretch of cards (for perhaps 6k hands ), whenever you get close to your goal (perhaps 8k ).

[spoonitnow]

Good luck

[Miffed22001]

haha rent
so long as i dont go on the two mean downswings ive been on before ill be fine, i can eal with seeing swings in my graphs its if i start to suck that will bother me.

Cheers Spoon.

Sat on b2b last nite while revising, or taking a break i should say,
1/2 6 max +35
1/2 full ring -10 (i soo suck at full ring)
i might play tonite, depends how drunk i am
Prob just have to play 50nl on that site and break even as i hate it.

[flomo]

Good Luck !!!! and keep your head straight, ttoo much poker can make people crazy

[Ragnar4]

GL man.

Only advice, don't set BR, goals. Just set a goal to make the right decision for your bankroll in every instance.

[SinkRox]

Gl Miffy. I agree with BR goals.. with regards to moving up: apart from my BR Im focusing more on moving up when I feel ready and confident enough. Ive just reached the 100s and will be happy to stay there building my roll to whatever size up untill i feel ready to move.

You'll probably find it extremely hard to get 35+ hrs in per week and if you do then by the 4th week youll porbably be sick of poker and feel the need for a 4-7 day break.

I get the impression you may play certain games based on what roll is currently in *that* site. I belive your poker br should consist of every $ you have thru all the sites + neteller + any live roll.

this is an interesting point.

To be honest i can normally beat lhe games at 2/4 to 5/10 pretty well. However im going to struggle at the mo getting 3-5k into one site. So i guess i am playing alittle below what i can. However, ive found becasue i play plo/lhe/nlhe all to medium stakes standards so long as i have an adequate br of say 1-2k on a site i can sit wherever the best games are.
Muy ultimat goal however is still to get 5k together first for 5/10 on party then move upto 10k for 10/10 THEN split up for other rolls.

btw, 2k hands on pokkeroom tonight.
Play 100hands at 25nl, took a stack lost a stack. Gay etc
Played some 2/4 5max and broke 30bets so +$60.
WIll be playing extensivly on b2b 2morrow.

[Miffed22001]

friday sucked
eventually only down 30euro's chasing bonuses again and down about $100 on pr chasing another short bonus. That should clear midweek on my current schedule but the b2b may take till middle of net week.
Then im split between Tafs and finding a site to play at for a half week. May move to prima to clear a $200 bonus there. DOnt know yet...

[Miffed22001]

yuk
full ring 2/4 (only games lhe-wise open) and i couldnt be bothered playing nl. 15times dealt TT or better (12 times QQ or better) only won at showdown once.

[SinkRox]

If I were you Id find one or two sites with games you really like and can play well there.. for me I look for alot of table selection, loose tables and big average pots, then try and look for somewhere with this criteria that also has a bonus going, if not rakeback at least.

I will not play at B2B cos I either have to play tighter than a nats arse at 10/3 or something and break even and earn a bonus.. or play uber laggy which im not comfy to try.

For me my new home is now PR, all the skins mean its almost a bottemless 10x, if not then a 15x. And the games there are juicy Ill also play at party when they have a bonus going. ...But im yet to try Fulltilt, PokerStars or Paradise or UB or AB, but these places are pretty lame for whoreing anyway -maybe ill check them out when have nowhere else to whore.

Basically what Im getting at is site and game selection is very important and dont get too wrapped up in whoreing.

PS I hear willhill is quite a juicy site and has a nice £5 per hr for 5 hrs deal going (only at 100nl+) (and rb after that thru an affliliate) I still need to check that place out.

[Cocco_Bill]

I will not play at B2B cos I either have to play tighter than a nats arse at 10/3 or something and break even and earn a bonus.. or play uber laggy which im not comfy to try.

Why does it have to be one extreme or another? I have no problems beating those games playing an ordinary 21/9 6-max game.

[SinkRox]

Good point. I dont know. Im just uncomfortable at B2B, not enough loose players there wanting to gamble their stack with TPTK or 2P.

[Irisheyes]

GL Miffty!! I'll be joining you after my exams finish on the 10th of june. I have 13 weeks off, race to 50k$??

[Miffed22001]

GL Miffty!! I'll be joining you after my exams finish on the 10th of june. I have 13 weeks off, race to 50k$??

lolololololool
with 50k i could be playing 50/100 hu
but sure, by the time you turn up ill prob have some solid br together

Sinkrox, yeah for the minute im taking the free cash from b2b. At 5k ill move to party and play exclusivly there and maybe will take enough to continue whoring b2b. There would appear to be $11k there over the long run, so ill boost the br with extras. Ill prob consider pokerroom again when (or if )i play 10/20 as they have good rb offers there for higher limit players i think. Other prob is i need to upgrade my crappy laptop as i can only effectivly 2 or 3 table pokerroom at the mo which is killing me.

[Hate]

just a question...what limits would it be good to whore PR at?
I'm assuming 25NL is a no-no.
also...no 6 max = (

Yo don't be stupid, most good players advocate at least 10 buyins for that.

I'm serious by the way, I sense a mid June wager coming on...??

[Hate]

dude, it's limit. max buy-in at 0.01/0.02 LHE is like... 1.000.000$

[Irisheyes]

dude, it's limit. max buy-in at 0.01/0.02 LHE is like... 1.000.000$

Ok, I see now, I ment it too be a joke because I thought he men't 50/100 HU NL! But now it's just all backfired on me and now I look stupid.

England 1 : Ireland 0

ROFLMFAO

nice

hate, for pokerroom im a big advocate of playing 5max lhe there or full ring. Nl is ok but i think you are limited to 4 tables and probably need to be playing 50nl at least perhaps 100nl for it to clear at anything better than a months play.
lhe is good because at 5/10 max rake is $3 with $2 at 3/6 and 2/4. If you dont have the br for that id go to prima where u can 5table for bonuses at relativly variance free tables. Otherwise look to the bossnetwork of perhaps the VCpoker bonus that has just come up (i didnt want to say about it until i'd done it )

[Miffed22001]

yey
first screw up
titlted off 500 tonite
just so many badbeats it took the piss and i dont mean the 4 outer gutshots hitting 10 times in 100 hands i mean the straight flush rivering against my quads twice for 30bbs pots and quads over quads and set over et 3 times. So yeah i got really shitfaced.

What a fucking waste by me. I feel like twosevoff right now which is shitty and means i gotta go back to do some grinding.

I am a dick but then those guys i played with are now on my buddy list and will play with me on a permanent basis.
5max is my nightmare.

[Miffed22001]

it also the first time in 5months were i havent left a table or poker when i know im on tilt which is more disappointing as my discipline has been good for a while.

plan is now to finish wasa, add martins to wasa go do vcpoker for 1k then move to party to play 3/6 with 3k ad wasa when it clears and be at 5k by the end of the month leaving me plenty of time to set up at party.
Im taking the excess money i had out as punishment for acting like a jerk. Itll make me play longer but i sure will learn my lesson
What a shitty day.
Goodnight

[Miffed22001]

yey
300euros up today
played some fullring lhe ad was up so went to play some nl afterwards and while i bluffed off two stacks immediatly i just went on a rampage afterward.
1000vips today too, so may have that finished by the weekend which wud be cool

[underminedsk]

you are trying to go semi-pro with a $2400 bankroll? That doesnt seem like it's going to work too well.

My advice to you is to get a job until you have more money.

[Miffed22001]

im not actually going pro
ive just finished uni and cant really get a job until july due to graduation etc and there are other issues at the uni im at that means my degree maybe delayed so while im stuck in limbo im playing poker as a 'pro' might i guess. Im trying to get into the mindset to see what its like as i never considered playing poker ever as a pro. Its a 2/3 month trial with a set goal and path. At the end of july i might go get a job and play poker for 4hrs a week, infact thats more than likely but while i have the time i thought id check it out. Admitadly after using my br for other things its small at the mo but i think 15k is a realistic target considering how mcuh time i can put in and bonus whore etc.
Look me up at the end of may and we'll see where im at.

[salsa4ever]

GL Miffty!! I'll be joining you after my exams finish on the 10th of june. I have 13 weeks off, race to 50k$??

LUCKY YOU! I have exams until 23 June and only 6 weeks of holidays.... GRRR I'd race but I just couldn't get enough hours in to be competitive

[SinkRox]

Ill race for the hell of it, but your goals bigger than mine. Im aiming for 10k in 2-3 months time - though i'll hopefully have a job soon but still put in ~15hrs poker each week.

One other thing that may delay my br progress is I still need to learn 6max I plan on making the transfer to there sometime soon.

Im not letting myself cashout until I hit 10k (bar a few exceptions ie paying for cardrunners and trating myself to a new monitor )

Currently 4-6tabling 100nl FR, BR = ~$3,100 (not including 470 cleared from a 600 signup)

[Miffed22001]

current br (after 1k deduction for titlting and 300e of tilt)
$3.5k (cant play for a few days as have a shiot load of moving to do )

[SinkRox]

i just cashed out $700 for a dell 2001fp 20' TFT to run at 1600x1200 i absolutly cannot wait as ive been multi-tabling cascaded windows, im hoping this upgrade will improve my game.

gl with the grind

[Rockymv]

miffed, you sound like you're in the same situation as me. i've got one semester of school left this fall, and i just haven't found a job yet. luckily my life doesn't cost very much.

[SinkRox]

I moved to 5-max 3days ago, ~3k hands thru and ive ran goot... BR now 4.93 so going to hit the 200s next session, will give myself 4-buyins to drop then go back to the 100s.. fingers x'd i can make it at the 200s

[Irisheyes]
