SNG Bankroll project update 5.

Tuesday, July 15th, 2008 | Poker Articles, Poker Bankroll Building, Poker Projects | No Comments

Brief update about my SNG project. I have now played 56 SNG, which is still far to few to predict whether I am a winning player on the limit I am playing at. I am up 5$ since my last update a week ago, played 20 SNGs. That is not very satisfying, but it also becomes more and more clear that the rake is "eating" up the profit. Statistics are now: Stats so far: SNG Played: 56 Rake: $36 In the money: 38 times. 67.8%. Net profit: $49 Michael, July 15th. Bankroll project update 4. Bankroll Read more [...]

Malta news

Saturday, July 12th, 2008 | Poker and Life | No Comments

So the PokerBRB team is gathered in Malta for the next couple of weeks. It is meant to be a vacation but we probably can’t avoid turning the subject in to our projects Poker Bankroll Builder and this blog. It started great when Mark was so kind to invite us on a big expensive fishing trip by spending some of his poker winnings. Like us he was really fired up for this trip and couldn’t wait for the day to come. The day was good at least for some of us. Mark had a good start by catching a 5-6 Read more [...]

Sit and go poker bankroll project, #4

Wednesday, July 9th, 2008 | Poker Articles, Poker Bankroll Building, Poker Projects | No Comments

I haven't been playing as much as I hoped the previous week for several reasons. The Internet was down one of the days because the town I live in on Malta, Sliema, had an electicity break down. So no Internet for half a day. I also hit a bad run of losses. For me that is three SNG lost in a row (remember that 50% of the participants recieve a prize in the SNGs I play). My personal rule is that I stop playing if I hit such a bad run. I know three in a row is not much, but from experience I know Read more [...]

Bankroll Building Skills – Persistence

Saturday, July 5th, 2008 | Poker Articles, Poker Bankroll Building, Poker Bankroll Management | 1 Comment

The skill – persistence – will be the next one to describe in the series of Bankroll Management skills . First a short definition of persistence: … ability to maintain action towards the goal of a project regardless of your current feelings toward the project. The ability to press on even if you fell like quitting… When done by the book, building a bankroll through bankroll management is a slow process. In addition it may seem boring at times, since you will always be accustomed to Read more [...]

Sit and go bankroll project, #3

Tuesday, July 1st, 2008 | Poker Articles, Poker Bankroll Building, Poker Projects | No Comments

Sit and go poker bankroll project, #3 This is the third update on my sit and go project. I have now doubled my stack, started with $60 and my balance at Inter Poker is now $123. But rake does lower the profit significantly. I have payed $19 in rake so far. So if I was signed up for a rakeback deal I would have received 30% back. I am still playing the 50% double up sit and go, as mentioned in the previous updates. It does give the game a different element than normal sit and go´s. People Read more [...]
