Gamtime74 fr challenge to build a bankroll

So i am a little fed up with my bankroll managment style to say the least..this is my biggest weakness in my poker game..so peeps it time for a change..i will keep this thread going up until june and hopefully stake a small buyin tourney for wsop with this bankroll.. 1st step is for me to only play fr's and vips in the mth of feb..nothing else, this will be my hardest task but i am a mason and time to incorporate some of my dicisplines into my poker game.. i will update this thread after feb.. to see where i am and what i have..looking for at least 70-100 bucks in nothing but carbon fr, league and po fr.. i am taking suggestions on what to play with this cash in march when it rolla around..... will show screenshots to keep me honest I know i am a decent player but to be a good solid player one must look into himself at his or her weakness and learn from it and stop repeating those actions or you destine for failure..wish me look..:cool:

Good Luck Gametime!!

You Can Do It You can Do It Alll Day Long!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result is the true definition of insanity. but i hope you do well and think you will succeed

GL gametime =)

Post your Carbon username so we can keep an eye on you. It never hurts to take some down time to try some new things and mix it up a bit. GL

good luck lols

this is also my biggest problem as well....i have a big problem with bankroll managment....i may join you in this quest

ok gl ...I guess knowing what your beginning balance is should be the first screenshot

Gametime I think you are a good player. I have seen you many times on PO FRs. So I would say to you--apply the way you work your chips in a tourney to the way you buy in. You don't call half your stack pre-flop. So why buyin for 10 when you only have 20. I have the same problem as you. I always move up too quick. I spend a night starting with 20 and turn it into 500. Then I play 100-200 sngs. Good luck to us both, maybe we can turn it around. I have a best friend who is a mason. Im sure you dont put half your business on the line when you work either. The problem can be that since you are a good player, you have confidence. That confidence can turn to cocky arrogance very quickly. Its a fine line to walk. You crush a stake and move up too quick. I think you have the right idea with the discipline you are setting for yourself. Remember all buyins are math too. So allow for bad beats and varience with your buyins. Good luck as I hope it works out for you.

ty for your input, i know my arrogance sometimes get the best of me too, havent started yet becuase i have carbon funds so i do one last grind before i do the fr challenge

GL GAMETIME I DID IT, but lost it all. added up over 6 months equals up to 4k i was able to win from fr, never depositing. Went to 5-10 and lost it all.... one bad day of bad poker thinking can lose it all ! BE CAREFUL! i have done it , after the wreck i went through losing 3k in about 7 hours, it didnt even feel real.. you can work a whole month lose it in an instant , i also recommend to contact customer support and ask them to disable your other casino games. They will.
GL MAN and keep the thread alive.
TTYL

wow, good luck dude, hope u make it happen, be disciplined!

:) :) :) ;) - - - _|_

so 3 weeks later, paying off debts i owe and building my roll up again i am ready to grind this bankroll, i estimate i have around 140-150 atm, taking any suggestion on what i should play, my goal is to get it to 2-3k to make a small investment in the wsop main event this year..help me out guys what should i start??

Grats to you for these winnings. According to a strict BRmanagement you shoul have 30-50 Buyins for playing cash game (NL5) or about 80-100 Buy ins for SNG or MTTs. Stick to this and play the game you are best in.

Glad to see you are getting there, good luck gametime, I know you can do it.

Gl. I hope that everything works out for you with your bankroll.

wish you lots of luck

good luck gametime, I hope everything works out for you.

Good luck in your adventure. My bankroll management is bad too.

Good Luck! I know how you feel, hope you achieve your goal.

good luck keep up the discipline....brm can be difficult, tilt can change everything....stick to the plan gl!

oohh yeah good luck for have this ;)
