As pointed out in this thread bankroll management means very little if you are prepared to go bust. I mean the $5 are really where you bankroll is at the moment.

Also it is what you want from poker, i have to say personally alot of my enjoyment from the game comes from the sense of achivement of outplaying my opponents (maximising my profits)  and therefore i want to be playing against the worst players possible.

In the world of SNG's though this doesn't necessarily mean the worst players are the loose maniacs, often the over tight players are loosers in these games, you have to know when to LAG it up late on in these games.

My suggestion is play what you enjoy, it sound like small MTT buyins are the way to go here.

"CASH OUT"  if you cant afford to lose what you have remaining, you should not be playing, save your $100 and put it in your pocket for something more useful and when you have a sufficient bankroll return another day, there will always be a game. Also you should have been cashing out when you hit over $200, Every $100 u won you should be cashing out %50 of it..that way you wouldnt be in this situation and because you had extra money you figured you would play higher games when you where a winning play at the lower level. Stick to that level and cash out in future, every little helps. Good luk.

Seeing as I was getting desperate last night I had to go and moan to my poker tutor and tell him to "help meeeee!" so that is what he did. I watched him play a few stts and wrote notes on it then tried it for myself. I'm now on $10 9 seat STTs (Speed) and managed to slightly improve on the $92 I had left!

I agree with what some of you have said about wanting loons at the table but in my case it's been down to the bubble and I have a medium stack, I go all in with a hand like QQ and get shat on by some moose holding K7... it's all well and good if my hand holds but I've been losing every showdown recently (99% I always go in with the best hand) and it gets very annoying!

Anyway I shall see how the Speed STTs go tonight, and also as Claire said, try some baby MTTs, as I have been doing over the past few weeks to try and get better at those too.

Thanks for all the advice Smiley

Well playing the Speed tourneys has really helped and I've been making the $ in the majority of them, my account is now up to $200, much healthier than the $92 that I was faced with the other day. It's improving slowly, but surely Smiley
