[Closed] Bankroll / build / management

there is no solution... oh wait, there is...

READ some strategy articles!

about BRM: http://www.pokerstrategy.com/strategy/bss/1534/1/

I've always advocated playing hu sngs, starting at 2.20 is quite fine BRM moving down to $1.10's if you drop to 30$. You learn about how important position is, you learn about bet sizings, hand ranges, hand reading and how to use BRM.

i have the EXACT same problem............3 times in the last 6 months ive blown a 2k BR by being a tool.........i started with 50 bucks at the start of this month and grinded up to 2k playing mtt's and some cash.........tyhen i decided to be an idiot......(4 tabling rush and playing stupidly high limits)....I do this everytime.....its simply a discipline problem.....when you are winning easily at one level it is so tempting to just say...."i could be making so much more if i play higher limits"....but when i play higher limits i play worse and gamble for some stupid reason, just trying t omake a quick win. you have to just accept that you cant do this unless your a complete luckbox. if you're playing cash you should have 25 B.I's as a minimum....so $2500 if your playing 50/1 etc, if your playing mtt's you should have a bigger roll because the variance is higher so anything up to 100 B.i's is good.....50 as a minimum id say. im the same as you....i reasonably solid winning player but still lots to learn. its as much about how you manage your money as how well you play....you just have to be disciplined!!

this could be of some help hopefully: http://poker101basics.wordpress.com/2011/01/26/what-to-do-when-your-confidence-drops/

if you're being overconfident chances are you simply don't understand what poker really is. BR management is good, but there is way more than that if you want to be able to control yourself.

What is the best way to boost a bankroll (start) lets say 50 dollars... to a safer amount like 500 dollar. I think this is the hardest part in poker.
Grind up in cashgames or sng`s?? i feel there is a big difference in the way of playing proper cashgames or sng`s .. mixing them up to much is not good for the play i think..

Remember: The fastest way is not necessarily the best.

for a short bankroll, you need a short stack strategy
