pulling out your winnings

[jrobb83]

I'll second the 400bb roll for the Party 3/6 game. I tried to move up with a 300bb roll earlier, and immediately went on a 120bb slide. I'm waiting till I have 400 before trying it again, and almost there...

scott, when you move to 3/6 at party, you'll probably be grateful if you keep a 400BB roll.

Good point. I started with 400BB at 2/4 and lost about 150 of that (still working back). So I'll probably hold off pulling cash out until I get over $2500 (and am winning at 3/6)

If you are still in the building stage but feel you have some cash lying about maybe think about some casino whoring there are a number of sites with good bonuses where you can autoplay so be doing that while poker playing or sleeping etc. This can grow your bankroll quite nicely.

I assume the "while sleeping" bit is a euphemism for "mindlessly," right? Just wanted to make sure I'm not missing a huge +EV opportunity.

No literally while sleeping/eating/mowing the lawn whatever.

Some casinos have autoplay software for blackjack and video poker. Witha couple of slight changes to the strategy you can set it away and clear the bonus requirements.

Search the internet forum for more details or goto the website mentioned they have a more appropriate forum there.

I hear you -- my 2/4 experience has been:

-150BB
+75BB
-33BB

At least the oscillations are getting smaller...

I never thought of that -- I need to set something like that up. How many BB do you leave "on hand" in your PP account to handle the inevitable small swings?

Well I actually just learned that I should have 300BB in order to move up to another level. My system really isn't that developed yet, but the more I read this site and find out what amount I should have at each level, that will come around I think.

Your question is a good one and one I have to figure out for myself right now. The double/1/2 system doesn't take that into account. So maybe thinking of a new one would be better.

Say you have grown to $600, which is the minimum number of big bets for $1/$2 right? I guess if you double that to $1200 (Which then gives you enough to move up to $2/$4), you could cash out half the profit ($300). You'd be back to $900, thus giving you a little more time to experience $1/$2 before moving up to $2/$4 after another increase of $300 more if you want.

The system may work for having those extra bets too it seems so far because your next withdrawl would be at $1800 ($900x2) and you'd take out $450 leaving you with $1350. Still plenty for $2/$4.

So I think it may work out. I might make adjustments like taking out $600 when I hit $1800 which would knock me back to the minimum of $1200 for $2/$4 if I wanted to get more experience there.

I'm basically just talking ideas here and would welcome feedback and other suggestions too.

I'm not sure how good a player Scott is, but I believe that most of the better players on Party 3/6 could go with a 200BB bankroll with minimal risk of ruin.

Use your winnings to move up in limits, then you'll have even MORE money.

Mwa ha ha ha ha!

That's what I did, anyway, but I'm a greedy bastard.

Oh well, I quess I'm not one of the better players as I had a -168 over my last 4kish 3-6 hands since the begining of this month (that's like -4bb/100). Thank God I moved back up to the smooth, pleasing, lite jazzy non-swingy feeling 5-10 6-max games [img]/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img], I'm too scared to play 3-6 and see how much further down the ship can sink.

Seriously though, I have had a 175 and this current one, as well as a few -100 to -140 steaks in the 3-6, so maybe I play too fast but I kind like to err on the side of having a little extra cushion. MY st/dev is like 16/100 I believe.

[sprmario]

I'm at about 1,600 and I my plan for the next month or so it to get it up to 2,400 and then pull out any half of any amount over 2,400 at the end of the month and then pull out half the amount over that months beginning balance at the end of next month... etc. That way I build past 2,400 but I can pull out some extra money every month (hopefully) while doing that. I'll be playing 3/6 at that point. I will start fooling around w/ 5/10 6 max when I hit $5k which will probably take a while. I'll actually probably play a significant amount of 1/2 6 max to work on that and get comfortable w/ short-handed play before trying the 5/10. Good luck!
