Cash Game Bankroll/Buy In Question

[blonde17]

 
Simple...
5% ...FWIW never use/risk more than a max 5% of your poker bankroll in any one game on any given day, no matter how weak the opposistion .
That way you will not get busted by a freak run of bad luck, or bad play.
This may not be optimal and may seem a little cautious but, from my own experience over several years or to be more accurate over two decades of live cash game play inc PLO, it has served me well.

SO...5% no matter what.

So on a £10k roll if you busted a £200 buy in then a £400 buy in you would never reload in the same game no matter how soft it is?  Seems overly nitty....

So let me get this right.....

You get your money in preflop with 100bb which represent 5% of your bankroll with AA and get called by KJo and get beat.  You wouldn't want to rebuy and play some more against that guy and would go home???  seems sub optimal to me and that is being polite!

And it may well be, but I can only comment on my own experiences, feel free to risk more and GL

Thanks for being polite.
BUT......you keep reloading and pray he doesn`t get lucky several times and bust you completely.
Again I didn`t say it was best, just said it has served me well. I found out very early on that when I had a 4K banroll and lost half of it on one day it shook my confidence a bit, so just kept everything within my own comfort zone, but feel free to take more risk and GL.

this makes no sense. you're going to buyin again in the future so how is waiting until tomorrow to put my next 5% on the table with as yet unknown oppos better than doing it today in a super soft spot?

I suppose if you are prone to tilt then it might make sense but if you are tiliting to that degree you probably shouldn't be playing seriously

[smashedagain]

Are you a full time pro blonde 17? I see exactly where you are coming from and know a lot of guys with your way of thinking. Not wanting to be an arse but if you look at the guys who have been around a while they all have a similar thinking and have out lasted the gamblers.

I guess you are right but those that know who I am will know that TILT is not in my vocabulary.
Like I said it works for me but won`t be everyones taste.

Yep...been around a while, grinding out a livin in live games since 1985. Nothing spectacular but... not gone bust either.
