Good bankroll
I was reading through some older Bluff Magazine article and I came across a big of a bankroll management, and requirements for the transition levels. I've tried these standards even before I read the article, and I wanted some of the key points to share with you to follow. If in previous posts regarding the requirements that I use, I think I was a bit vague. I was told that if I have 10x big buy-in, I will move on one level. It is true, but there are other factors than just the right amount again. You want to look at the situation, if the game is good enough to move up. Maybe you went to a serious water heaters with large cards and threw a few reasons Suckout to think about moving. Or you had your way up over a long period of land and now you are finally your bankroll, which must be to make the train. Neither example will show if you're ready or not. Suppose that a player plays the lower limit, like.50 / $ 1 and needs to finance the $ 1000. Now you can play your role and up to $ 2000. Based on the 10x rule, it should be able to move up to $ 1 / 2 right? Not so fast. Something to think about is how quickly he found that $ 1000. He won to earn $ 50/hour over 20 hours? Or did he make $ 10/hour over 100 hours? There is a difference. One example is a guy doing a lot in a short period, while the other has a much longer time to get more loops there.
Is for the most part you will find more competitive, when you move into equities. This is not always the case, as I said in my top 5 poker myths, but often forget that it's true. If you take a long time to move your bankroll to the capital, chances are you are not really prepared to his face and better players. Chances are good that, at best, you will be a breakeven player and more of a loser.
So how do we determine if we are willing to go up? What we need to know is to evaluate our victory. The standard way to determine your profit of $ $ $ won per hour for live players in the online players use big bets won per 100 hands or BB/100. A "big bet" is basically twice the big blind. So, if you play $ 2 / 4, would be the big bet $ 8. According to the author of the magazine considered a win-percentage 3BB/100 is pretty good as a win-percentage 5BB/100 as very good. I think this is a pretty good indicator. Now that you know, as you yourself would be to play so many hands, you should really accurate. The more the better. Some say you should play with no fewer than 20 000 hands. I do not know if you want to go so high, but I could be wrong. It is certainly a sufficient number for you to honestly assess whether or not you should move.
The next question is how to keep an exact count, as you do. There are many applications for tracking is that you can use. I have started with Poker Tracker and Poker Office is also. I like both, and would recommend either one. I'm still learning to see PokerTracker Currently, there are many different statistics. I'm now at about 10 000, but my hands to win is ridiculous at the moment. In these 10 000 hands my win rate 30BB/100 hands. Well, of course, to a large and profitable within the next 10 000 hands, I expect to come crashing to the ground a bit. I hope not, but I would not be surprised if it works. If not, I am a really good bankroll behind me for the next step.
So always try to record as much information as you can. Be patient and honest with yourself, as you focus on results. I'm as guilty as everyone else when it comes, I thought I was ready to go, before I was, but I've learned my lesson after I broke a few times. Do not rush to the top. If you are on one level, perhaps that is where you do now, is profitable.
