    Default This isn't very good strategy bankroll wise, but i've been doing it and winning.

    I started w/$10 last week brought it up to $88 in a week.Now im playing .1/.25 nl holdem until i bring it up to $200, then start playing .25/.5. I just seem to win when the pressure is on half my bankroll.(btw i dont play with my whole bankroll at one table, that just seems stupid to me)

    it just forces you to play smart... just pretend its for all your money and play the proper limits as solidly and you wont have to worry about going broke

    This is getting a nomination for most profound statement.

    No matter how smart you play, numbers don't lie, they just catch up with you as the low margin of error proves itself. You're giving yourself no margin of consequence, let alone error. You have $88. Play $10 games. You're gonna lose it all and it'll happen over the span of a couple of days. I'll guarantee it.

    I started with $50 and played Nl10 to start off with and never went broke.

    I think at low limits BR management is less crucial because the players are soooo bad.

    actually, this would be more crucial, because you get more marginal calls, thus more varience.

    however what you did is not hard. you had 5 buyins to an easy game, assuming you are a good player, once you hit 10 buyins you are almost home free.

    If this is the case then why is 25 the standard for SS NL? I seem to hear varying opinions on this.
    Lots of good rakeback options at http://www.rakeguard.com/?raf=KRE8R

    KRE8R probably has about seventy college funds in his NL5 roll.
