What should I do now? Help please.

Before yesterdays carbon 1pm freeroll I had 5 cents in my account. Right now i currently have 58.88. As many of you know yesterday I won b2b in the 1pm and 4pm freeroll, I also won The Nutz Poker Forums $10 freeroll ( $4 for 1st place ) I also won a $2.20 entry bagudi tournament in which i won about 30 bucks or so.

Here is my issue. I've rolled up between 50 and 100 dollars before on carbon, but my issue is that i never seem to be able to build a big bankroll. I have problems taking shots in high paying MMTs. Idon't think im a great cash game player, within the first hour im generally up, but then its easy for me to tilt and with cash at a table i can be reckless.

My question is what is a good way i should go about building my bankroll safely? Any bankroll management ideas are welcomed and needed.

i prefer roulette over blackjack so maybe that

speak to sharking hes managed to accumalate about a grand or so but thats generally through cash games and multitabling

the safely way to increase ur BR is NOT USING it........lmao...........;)

that= dont play more then 1 hour listen to that best thing you can do if ur not the type of person that likes to sit down for HOURS

I highly recommend sticking to MTT's and running 3-4 at the same time. I would pick a few tournaments that start close to each other, that are probably between $3-$6 entry fee each, and join a few of them. Having more than one going at once will keep you sharp and typically will keep you safe. You won't have time to make the typical idiot, "why the heck did I call that" decision this way.

Just my two cents. Good luck!

true i even though of this, what if i just play PO fr's and build my br that way? It could work but itd take a long time, plus what kind of poker player would i be? Id feel like i was afraid to put my br at risk.

Bankroll on paper is easy, Never buy in with more than 5 percent of your total bankroll, if your good, your 5 percents will add up fast, and your loses are minimal. NOW FOLLOWING THAT IS THE HARD PART.

standard BRM is 2% of your br for tourneys and 5% for cashgames so if you follow those rules you should be fine

play the 2.20 bounties the 1.10 GTD that are not rebuys and the 5.50 2k GTD that is at night. Don't know how your sng game is, but I like the super turbo 2.12 and 5.50.

Play the SnG double ups, you only need to finish 5 out of 10 to double up

play within your means. only have 5 to 10% of your stack at risk each day. if your good, with rake back, ull have a steady climb. I cashed out over $215 now im at $30 again. but i play above my head a lil then go back to small stakes. If I wanted to make $ I'd stay with the soft games - $2 bounties, .60 fast fifty's, $1 dazzlers. TRY THIS: Play in 2 $2.20 bounty (250 guaranteed and I think $100 guaranteed). they pay out the top 30 to 60 players - if you cant make the top 60 - quit the game. you only win like $1.77 for last place but all u have to do is win one bounty to be positive - and its all gravy from there - free rain to donk away - no pressure of losing your stack.

the fast Fifty is great - top 20 paid - if you get aa or kk just shove u always get callers. Plsy these games til you get to $150 and play .02/.04 NL TexHol $4 max. these games are soft but wild. U may go down $40 but go back up $100. Of course this is boring for most people so hard to stick to.

avoid the 50 cent games in my opinion, the charge 20 percent rake compared to 10 percent every other game and also i feel like the players sitting in the 50 cent sng's are usually a tougher challenge, dont know if its because their BR's have dwindled to nothing and are playing their last bit o money so they are doing their best or what it is... but i avoid them

Small MTTS, possibly sngs and double up sngs. Dont play anything over $2. Since you seem to be running good at MTTs, just play those and avoid cash games.

Me, I would recommend you play sitngos instead of MTTs for a while. I've had lots of good luck myself lately playing $5-$7 regular and double up sitngos.

Keep practicing cash tables. Learning patience on a cash table can go a long way and is the most consistent way of building a bankroll. MTT are pretty good but hard to build a bankroll off of. You will have your largest swings playing MTT then anything else and for some people its very hard to manage.
