true. I think he was being sarcastic tho? it aint sick. It's ok though. I wouldn't quite say standard if we take the micro pool and look at where 50% of people are at.
But perseverance was the key through the flat liners. I mean i was always jealous of other people's graphs coz mine went flat much of the time.
new point 1: Bankroll management.
I advocate a kinda new system of BRM, it aint new but it's a slant on the standard practise and utilizes psychology. You shoot for 20+10 buy-ins. Unless you're on a fantastic heater, for each stake you play you can expect to have a horrible downswing of around ten buy-ins. This isn't just '30 buy-ins' it's 20+10 to account for the downswing. Should one NOT happen, bonus. But should one happen, you're covered a PORTION of your roll FOR it. Just my little idea to help with tilty downswings.
new point 2: Downswing management/Fish Holocaust
- beaten 2nl?
- been crushing 5 but just got stuck on a downswing/break even stretch?
- love killing fish?
Then this could be for you. At times when my 5nl was going shit, i would recoup some losses by going down to 2nl, opening up 4 tables and destroying the fish. You'd be surprised how MUCH more awful their play is than 5. It's very noticeable. No one raises pre flop, no one folds, no one cares! If you're raised post flop, it's usually with garbage. Some reason this wasn't all SO obvious when i was at 2 but once you've gone up, learned and come back it's easy to make a quick few bucks.
My tip is to buy in for $5 on each table and be very very agro but also fold when you know you're beat. Eventually they won't know what the fuck you're holding and will go all in lots. At one stage i was making more money from 2 than 5! Just bait them, make them tilt and you'll take their money. Again, to them it's just a few bucks, to you it's your roll, your evolution.
