New roll for me.......

So guys I was playing some $1.50 and $3.50 Hyper HU SnGs on stars with a small roll of just $50 I didnt want to put too much on as I was just getting back into online at stars again.
So the hypers didnt go to well as they just tiltled me like hell lool, so I now have a roll of a flat of $100.00 (£62) so my question is what sort of games should I been playing with such a roll? I was thinking of sticking to the $3.50 hypers? then moving down to the $1.50 if I lost a few at the $3.50?.
I would also like to ask what about the idea of playing plo 2c/5c one table as the $100.00 would give me 20buyins at this level? or is this not enough and should I wait untill ive atleast doubled my $100.00?
Anyone who wants to comment and give me there thoughts is very welcome Smile

Thanks for your time people!
Wow

Here is my genuine advise for what its worth.

I don't know what experience you have but I'll assume that you at least haven't been playing any of the games you mentioned too much recently as you said your just getting back on stars. With this in mind I think there are two key things in play regarding management of you roll.

The first is the obvious risk of ruin consideration whereby even playing a winning game you can potentially lose enough to bust your roll. But the second and much more complicated is the psychological element. Far be it for me to speculate on how your mind works but in general the more confident you are in your ability to beat a given game/stake the less buyins you can safely play with because you will be less susceptible to the "FML can't win at this shit" life tilt that can occur during nasty string of results.

So, while $100 is a reasonable bankroll for $3.50 hypers in a case where you have unshakable confidence in your edge, a healthier course of action if this self assurance is not in abundance would be to play the $1.50s for a set number of games, say 150-200, after which point if you are successful you can move up carrying positive momentum and empirical evidence of your probable edge to fend of frustration should it arise.

When deciding which stake to play your confidence in your game should be the foremost factor, and of course this is then applied on top of a common sense consideration of risk of ruin.

imo

Wow thank-you. ive read thorugh what you have put and it makes very much alot of sence to me. Im fairly confident in my game at these stakes,very aggro lol seems to work. I will also have nice BRM and only play the 1.50s maybe if I win a couple then ill take a shot at 3.50s but ionce i loose one then ill just drop down with a smile on ym face as I know it will be the right thing to do.

Offe12 (2011-08-16) Playing hypers icreases the varians obviously but if u think u can handle some swing go ahead Not so sure I can buddy! the last time I lost a few buyins on them I went on super tilt and ended up doing my roll as I just kept pushing every hand untill my roll was gone!! super TILTED me more then ever! I just want a nice easy way of building roll without too much risk?

Anyways i don't think im the best person to give u an advice but its important to start a little slow. GL P.S. Don't Use Isildur1 BR management

Stick to no BRM and keep posting your funride here for the pleasure of the railbirds. 2. Stick to BRM: Your bankroll is too low to play 3.50 hyperturbos, 1.50 i dont know, but it must be easy to google the requirements for hyperturbos. Personally i just know, that 100$ is the point where i started to play 2c/5c NL Holdem fullring and sometimes went back to 1c/2c when i was down to like 90$. Why ? Because i was one time up to like 200$ from 15$ (not luckboxing but grinding within brm) and then tilted like 100$ away in a single tiltmonkey session at 5c/10c and different mtt's and sngos and even 25nl before i finally took a break and cashed out because i ran really bad and didnt have enough bankroll to not get tilted from that. its always bad when losses can make you tilt or play scared money, not just about the variance.

With this in mind I think there are two key things in play regarding management of you roll. The first is the obvious risk of ruin consideration whereby even playing a winning game you can potentially lose enough to bust your roll. But the second and much more complicated is the psychological element. Far be it for me to speculate on how your mind works but in general the more confident you are in your ability to beat a given game/stake the less buyins you can safely play with because you will be less susceptible to the "FML can't win at this shit" life tilt that can occur during nasty string of results. So, while $100 is a reasonable bankroll for $3.50 hypers in a case where you have unshakable confidence in your edge, a healthier course of action if this self assurance is not in abundance would be to play the $1.50s for a set number of games, say 150-200, after which point if you are successful you can move up carrying positive momentum and empirical evidence of your probable edge to fend of frustration should it arise. When deciding which stake to play your confidence in your game should be the foremost factor, and of course this is then applied on top of a common sense consideration of risk of ruin.
