Most of us already done it again and again. During the downswing sessions we tend to brings to table the 'rest' of our bankrolls. The disaster comes often too quickly. So how to stop it, it is bankroll management we need to keep in mind ? Mostly the feel and taste the game is much more for all kind of players than keeping some bankroll for future sessions ...
I'm looking forwards for your opinion.
If your Bankroll is low(under $10) then i dont see there being much BRM unless playing .02 .04 only buyin with 2 and if you lose dont chase your losses get up take a break and play a couple of double or nothing sng's to possibly recoup that session. Since merge doesnt offer much lower then $1 DONS well except for the 300 chip bumble bees or pocket change turnys. BRM should always try and be forefront and DONT CHASE LOSSES!! unless its $5 or less never sit with your whole roll at any game.
True dat, play free rolls and earn your way back to playing higher stakes. Pro told me if you want to play .25 cash games you need atleast $800. If You got less than $100 - play .11 SNG's, .10 1RB,1Add, and maybe $1 double ups if your patient enough. Play more PO tourneys.
it depends on the range of your game... can you adjust for the unconventional play often found with low stakes playin' newbies?
YES, all of you are true. The stake you play is very important. I never play bigger than true micro stakes (1/2c). Sometimes I'm tilt and play more than it is 'clever'. Sit&Go are very good way to practice and boost bankroll (if you are patient player). I agree.
So all new players need to practice. The more they play the more they learn. The important part is to play smart (no bingo players). Try to learn from mistakes. Keep bankroll not suffer from tilts, downswings etc. My advice is to have a break after each session (at least 30 minutes). Never mind if the session is success or not the important is to have a break and do also the 'common' things like shopping, eating :)
I dont always go on tilt - almost never - but I do get bored. When I get bored I start playing more hands - ones I shouldnt be playing and right after I lose the hand I recognize it - "I should have never bluffed in that spot". So taking breaks is always good.
YES, but we are not always bluffing :) Sometimes the opponent have better hand, so we should pay for that reason :) it is all about doing 'correct' decisions ...
When you are starting to tilt and feel like you are losing an edge, you need to stop. I dont think it has to do with your bankroll. You should always be using bankroll management and playing games you can afford.
i take a break when i'm tilt
I usually set a limit that I'm willing to gamble with a day and try to stick with it. If it's a bad day and I feel the site is trying to bust me. I walk away for that day.
even you are on a downswing you should not say i am not playing anymore when you still play good poker, sometimes the variance kicks you in your face, but be strong and play even better, i normally try to be at least breackeven every day, it is successfull at least 6 times a week ;)
when you are on tilt and mad from losing, or if you feel like you can't beat the games that day
I don't worry about tilt or getting bored, I just worry about following my set BRM at all times. It doesn't matter how my small my BR is, because if it's small enough I can't play in anything, then that means it's FRs only until I can build up high enough that my BIs are less than 5% of my BR. Thanks to PO and good BRM it would be very difficult to lose my whole BR, even though it isn't that big.
YES, I agree. The poker player should STOP play while in tilt! It is not all about bankroll it is about doing wrong decisions more often. Thus loose money much more easily...
you just know when its not going to happen just need to call it quits dont push it
I will take a rest after today's TCOOP-32 event on PokerStars. If I finished ITM, should boost my BR, if not, it's a good time to get back to freerolls :)
and when i need a smoke;]
I'm a little different then most in that I don't find breaks particularly helpfull. If I feel I am running cold, I drop down stakes, tighten up my game, and play thru the bad runs. When things are running good, I will probe a BIT above my regular stakes level, pay for more more flops in good position, and open up my range a bit.
Of course its always fun to play bingo after playing tight aggressive poker for too long - and just plain gamble! Not exactly tilt but more like fkn around.
I believe if you take a couple beats and losses, you should just take a break and cool for a little while. You think you aren't on tilt just because you aren't hot and angry and making donk bets, but those beats would still affect your game.
I think this reply pretty much sums up what you need to do.Nice post LaserCats..........Quote:

Not when your hitting. I had a break about a month ago, and it sucked. Good to be back.
It is best to take a break when you are losing to get you're mind set back. A lot of players when on tilt seem to play every hand to win big but end losing more money.
take a break during merge's freakin suckish updates... that sucks.
