Yea of course. I think at the micros 25 buy ins would already be enough. At some point I have played with even less but now I have a little bit more conservative bankroll management. My plan is to switch down limits when I have only 30 bin and go up to next limit when I have 40 bin there
Should be enough.
hmm, ok. i wasnt looking at it from the part its mikros... but isnt that like 25bu for each table You play? I mean You cant have 25BU if You play 20 table right ?
If you know what you are doing at the tables it doesn't matter how many tables you play. The bankroll management is there to save you from bad run and downswings, not from bad play.
If you play bad you will of course lose your stack faster if you play more tables but if it is just a normal downswing, playing more tables doesn't mean that you will lose more.
Btw I play 2 tables zoom at the moment. You asked that but I forgot to answer
Hi, would you tell me how much rake in bb/100 you are paying?
I am paying 10.7 BB/100 and I started wondering if that is something that is even beatable. Do you think I should switch to a Tag or even Nit Style to only exploit calling stations with good hands minimizing rake?
Hi Konkronus,
It looks like I have paid 7 bb/100 rake in the last 35k hands. I play at Stars.
If you can make money by playing loose, just go ahead and do that
You can of course try different strategies but if your winrate drops it is not worth it.

Finally a green week
Last 10k hands at NL10 have been profitable, which is nice. I think I finally understood what I have to change to make money there. I hope I really got it and it wasn't just a good run and next week I'm gonna lose a lot again
Some of my profit went to MTTs and spins. I have started playing some MTTs every now and then because those big 1st place prizes are so appealing but the bad thing is that I have no idea how should I play those. Now I'm trying to learn how to crush tourneys
Let's see how it goes.
Today I was spazzing like hell.. I played poorly and I know that. I was tired and didn't concentrate and for some reason I just kept on playing.
Then suddenly there was this tiny little voice inside my head calling me: "la55iiiii, wake up! ... remember your goals, you want to make moneyyyyy." - I saw a bright light and a gate. As if I was on heavens doors. The gate began to open slowly and I saw what was inside. There were no beautiful angels, as I expected. Instead there was darkness. I saw an ugly creature that started leaping towards me and when it got a grip of my hand it started pulling me into the scary black hole. It kept me as a prisoner. I lost the sense of time. I don't know how long I was trapped there. Maybe seconds, maybe years. Eventually I managed to escape but when I got out of the shadows I realized that I had turned into this slimy ugly thing myself.

Aaaand here is the result:

I got it back
Yeah, I once (well, many more times than that) congratulated myself on a winning session when I had won tree-fiddy over 4 hours.
<sigh>
Better than losing tree-fiddy
Peace,

After some terrible run I'm back over 500$ again !!

Hi la55i,
Congrats on the BR return
Having seen your last posts I hope to read about more success in the coming weeks
Regards
Matt
I definitely hope so too!
After week 55 I said that I think now what I must do to win money. I'm really not 100% sure what I do differently but something just clicked in my head. Now I have had 3 winning weeks in a row. I hope this is not just a random upswing ♦
I have been 3 days out of the tables now and I'm already afraid that I have lost my skills
Let's see how next week goes
Week 59
Hands 1562
Profit +$10.31

A bit lower volume this week. Had some partying&studying. Also bought a new SSD for my laptop and had to reinstall the whole system so didn't have much time to play.
