$8.79 Left in BR: What's the best use?

[SuitedSixes]

The unthinkable, yet inevitable 30BB downswing occured over the last 3 days. I have two options: laugh or cry. I choose to laugh, so please help me figure out how to use the remaining $8.79 in my once-mighty SNG BR.

[The Yugoslavian]

This makes me very, very sad, /images/graemlins/frown.gif.

I realize that you probably aren't looking for a serious answer, but I'll offer one. The 1+0 rebuy on eurotrash. It's virtually impossible to not make the money. It's not a lot of money, but it'll give you a small 10+1 roll within a few days. Throw in the party freerolls and points freerolls too.

SWEET! What are you doing here?

[PokerCat69]

.01/02 limit or $5NL at pokerstars. It is possible to rebuild, but the $/HR would be horribly low. Your better off simply reloading. Playing a 5+1 SNG is terrible. You could easily lose.

I don't think you can get on an NL table with less than 10 bucks on Party/skins. If you can get 2 more bucks on there somehow, NL is the way to go. I had 10 bucks on Empire after I cashed out to bonus whore, and I've run it up to 200 in the last 2 days. Shortbuy and double up, then build it up to 43, play 3 10+1s, and if you lose them all build back up from that last 10 bucks. Don't lose hope homie, as long as you have some left, it ain't over.

[microbet]

Yugo just posted exactly what I was going to say. You're absolutely the last poster I would want to see this post from, maybe even including myself. Good luck.

[GrekeHaus]

That's awful man.

Here's my advice...Ask GreheHaus to help back you while you get back on your feet. In return, you will look over some of his hand histories and help him figure out why he's getting 17% 4ths.

[adanthar]

Damn, I'm sorry to hear that man.

If you want to rebuild at Party, I can tell you one thing: my friend is something like 35/40 ITM at the $5 and $10 7 Stud SNG's /images/graemlins/tongue.gif I dunno, try that.

[treeofwisdom7]

yugos back alright!

about the downswing sorry to hear. i play at the same limits you do but i have 40 buys ins and am thinking about keeping 50 buyins because it will feel safer. i hope this doesnt happen to me.

1 question tho. did you start to play bad after you lost 10-20 buyins or was it just this bad?

[Blarg]

Oral sex from the world's ugliest hooker.

[Sponger15SB]

Wait so you're busted from SNGs and you don't have backup money to replenish? Why didn't you move down in levels!?!?!

Also if you really mean this

Then having just a 30x buy in roll is idiotic

[DeathbySuckout]

I hit the downswing also, but I stopped at around $80 so I could still multi the cash games and rebuild. From that, bonuses, and rakeback, I'm up to about $300 so far.But I'm still not coming back to SnGs for a little while. I don't feel safe with 30 buy-ins any more.

Good Luck

Man, maybe I should have slept Friday night instead of staying up until 8 am playing on PP. Right after I read this comment I went back to the main 1-table page and saw the thread "Worst BLOWN Lead ever HEADs Up." I thought the two threads were related until I took a second look.

The $10 stud tourneys on Party (when did they add $5's?) got me a few hundred in Janurary. I read Chip Reese's section in Supersystem in the afternoon and placed ITM in the first 3 i played, following w/ a 15th place in the 8:00 pm stud MTT i played in. Unfortunetly, stud is more boring than studying for the bar exam and multitabling them is NOT an option IMO.

Rough break on the OTM streak...gl building the roll back up (or drinking it...).

[SlackerMcFly]

Four words:

Mechanical Horse Race Machine

You'll be 8 tabling the $109's after a few hours with your system for the horses /images/graemlins/wink.gif

Any bonuses to work off?? Want a backer?? You are going to be fine. I am positive it is going to work out.

[J-Lo]

i think i have the best bankroll rebuild story every...

I was down to $2 at stars, playing .01-.02 HUHE and PLO...

now i have a huge roll, and 8 tabling the $55's

I have been keeping what the AM spreadsheet told me I need for a 0.5% ROR. I have a different roll that I use for limit that is always over the max, so I've always just figured I could dip into one if the other got short, and neither has ever been short before.

I can think of two horrible bubble decisions that I made in this stretch pushing with QQ and AK when I didn't need to be involved. My set detector was not working, and I was getting beaten by hands that I had dominated, but nothing I don't deal with on a regular basis. It was just more in a bunch than I had ever had before.

The enormity of the situation didn't really hit me until last night, so I don't think I was really rattled until today. Friday started off great and I was on pace to reach my goal for the week, and I was loving the new blind structure. But Saturday and Sunday, I just got run over.

[Sykes]

So, is having a 30 buy-in roll at $10+1 too small? I have about 330 in my party account and I've been too scared to play in the sngs because I want to wait till I deposit (or get) $220 more so I have $550 so I have 50 buy-ins so the ROR is almost near 0.

[TheUsher]

All I could say is stuff happens when you're playing off a 30 buyin roll. /images/graemlins/frown.gif A relatively short time back I never really cared about a bankroll online and was 4tabling 55's with like 500 in my account all the time. Needless to say I withdrew a ton and had to re-deposit quite a few times but for some reason I always felt like I played better on a short roll. Now, I'm the complete opposite and pretty much insist on 50+ buyins in each account available at all times just to feel better. /images/graemlins/wink.gif Probably way too much and I should just keep money in Neteller, but that's what works for me. Hopefully it'll turn around for you soon.

[valenzuela]

erghh..tough luck, Im know playing the 11s with $130 on my br, I hope I make it. Play NLHE ring games and hope for the best, theres a kinda poker u only need alcohol to play with its called drinking poker, u start with 20 chips(blinds 1/2)when u lose ure stack u drink some kinda amount and the chip leader gives u 15 chips and the game continues.

[Mr_J]

Well rebuilding off sngs couldn't be any easier. Get a couple of hundred or get someone here to loan you some, play for a few days and you're at the $22s. Play for another week and you're at the $55s. A couple of weeks there and you're at the $109s. Like I said, easy /images/graemlins/grin.gif

Without reading any other responses..

I was amused to see that others agreed with me that choice C was the correct answer.

This may sound silly, but as long as you have another bankroll then getting wasted is your best choice with no doubt in my mind.

Another option is to right click on bones' avatar and chose "view image". It has my vote for best looking avatar yet. I don't expect anyone to agree with me, but she is just fu.cking sexier then the other women posted. The fact that the pic is viewable in a large format adds to the effect.

Are you getting responsible advice from a trusted "mentor" relative to size of B/R - Limits - Hours - Expectations.

Entirely possible that what you're trying to do isn't possible ?

[Oluwafemi]

my real job takes up alot of my time so i really only have time to play poker on Friday nights, Saturdays, and Sundays. in severely limited play, i've built my PS account up from $11 to $109 playing a mix of $1 45-player NL SNGs and $5.50 NL SNGs. it's a grind but i'm getting it done. i read Chris Ferguson's chapter in Aces & Kings where he made a goal of starting with $1 online and building it up to $20,000 in 6 months. my goal is somewhat similar, but more simplistic. i started out with $11 and i'm trying to build it up as high as possible without ever having to deposit any from NT and move up limits as my BR allows.

[SlackerMcFly]

$8.79 is the base price for a ForumBot. Whoever bought you overpaid IMHO.... Where do Metallic PokerDonks go at night anyway? WD-40 factory to get lubed?

"many a bankroll has been rebuilt on the $22s."

[DonButtons]

TheTimeIsUp from here got down to like $17 and was about to bust his stars br and I told him to just donate the rest of it, and he ended up running it up to like $8000 pretty fast, lol...

This sucks, and unfortunately I'm in the same boat. I turned a reasonably comfortable $11 roll into, well, $0.58 on saturday. Right now I'm waiting for my rakeback money to hit my account, as well as casino whoring money. Bleh.

[benza13]

Excellent. Many thanks. /images/graemlins/grin.gif

Maybe you saw a "%" sign where there wasn't one?

[pooh74]

I would take 100$ out of pocket and just pretend what happened never happened and just start all over. Play the 5s and move up slowly. I always find reading more poker books helps a lot if not for anything else, just keeping me off the table and tilting. (more read time to play time).

Sorry to hear about your situation but I'm sure you'll bounce back if you want to.

Maybe not on party...on stars I would.

I will never make more money playing poker than I do working...so its not about that.

[eastbay]

Not enough information. Did you have a "no reload" policy? Is this your entire bankroll or just an arbitrary amount you left after a monthly cash out?

Amazing what a differences angle makes.

[11t]

Time to get drunk baby, you can get a liter of shitty vodka and steal some orange juice from the grocery store.

Honestly, after reading that long term post on variance I think most players here who are playing on PP or the turbos on stars should have more than 50 buy-ins for long term playing.

[stupidsucker]

It may be theorputic to do C and then B immeadiatly after.

[Ogre]

I don't think $8 is enough to do anything. Your best bet is railbird it up at the final table of the big MTTs and beg for money from the winners. Make sure you tell them about your horrible bad beat stories for the reason why you lost all your money.

[stupidsucker]

Yeah, $8 isnt enough to do anything.

But you forget... He has $8.79.
