when i started, i 'took' shots. even at the smaller stakes. i didnt have a full roll to play, but once i had a session roll, id play.


understand, youll usually bust out a couple times til you start building it up.


like DS says, eventually it will come around. though a full BR is nice to have in the wings, its not mandatory. it can help psychologically though.


however, once i built a roll, i kept it seperate from my other accounts. the basic idea is to build the roll to adequate level, then build more from there. anything i won when starting went back into the roll until i reached the set level.


i wont play the matchstick tables for the precise reason you stated. im not into grinding for $1-2 an hour. i want more return for my time spent. and my time is worth alot more than that.


some ideas...
