Do i know you at all?
I really don't mind people attempting humour where i'm concerned but i think they should at least be familiar with me in some (any) way.

Mr Winner

bankroll management is an importnat part in poker

with a bankroll of only just above $200 you shouldnt be attempting to play much above 10c/20c

when you get to about 500$ you can try a 25/50c game but you need to keep playing small to be able to move up

if you attempt to play above your bankroll you can as shown here go broke very easy

my guess is that mr winner and mr inform both had too much drink while on shift and thought they would ask some newbie questions when really they are not new to poker or gambling

 Mr Winner , to answer your question.

 Yes , you were way way way out of your depth.

 fair enough you were doing well at the lower stakes , .10c / .25c is beginner stakes.

 when you build your bankroll to $300 step up to .15c / .30c and so on and so on .

 at 5$ / $10 stakes you would need a bankroll of $10,000 , you only had $200 so really should be sticking at .10c / .25c

 at that stage.

 you say you wanted a quck double up , by betting $200 with 66 you will only win $15 if everyone folds.

 if you are called , you will be lucky to have %50 chance of winning the hand.

 as you seen , you were in fact about %20 to win the hand.

 so youve risked all your money as 4 to 1 underdog , even at 10/25c you would be playing badly to push $25 with 66

 my advice would be to go back to 10/25c and grind it out until you build up your roll again to at least $300

 then take a small step up to 15/30c then see where you go from there , then if u get to $500 step up to 25/50c stakes

 

 above all , dont play the way you see on tournament final tables on tv.

 they guys are mostly top professionals , they have the  level of skill to carry out these plays

 and one thing is certain , none of them would ever put all their money in with 66 in a cash game.

 im not saying your not a skillful player , but you need to start off at low stakes and build your way up mate.

 without bricks , there wouldnt be buildings.

 at 5$ / $10 stakes you would need a bankroll of $10,000

At least 30k i would say,

i had no idea i would need such a big bankroll!$30,000 seems a huge amount.i guess i had better go back to the lower limits and start over.thanks to everyone who posted something constructive.
