Help down 8k this year
I been playing poker for about a year, and I am down about 8k so far. I can't seem to balance my bankroll. I played anything from $1 to $200 MTT and SNG. My home is at pokerstar. So far I earned about 3k from makeing the final table, but I got nothing to shown for. I feel sick about my game right now and takeing sometime off.
I am reloading my account at the end month for about $300. Please tell me how to build my BR back up with $300. Thank you for your help.

Read a bunch of posts in the One Table forum beforehand. Then once you start making a profit on that I would start to play some $1,2, and 3 dollar tournaments on PokerStars. There are tons of them and one nice run can really elevate your bankroll again. Good luck.

Re: Help down 8k this year
I gather you like playing tournaments, but I recommend you play some micro no limit ring games for a while. Play some .05-.10 or .10-.20 ring games until you can consistently beat them.
If you do this you can sit there and play premium hands (no-one notices) at this level and break even or make a small gain until you get your experiance up. MTT's can make you a lot of money fast, but you can go for weeks without cashing if you catch some bad luck or are not a good player. Stick to the lowest limits until you can beat them consistently (for at least a month) and then consider moving up.

I wouldn't recommend the $5 SNG's because of the rake. Move up to the $10's instead, that's what I do when my bankroll is short. [/ QUOTE ] Or play at a site like UB that charges 10% rake on $5 and smaller SnGs.

Micro MTT's, run 5-8 a night, and get Harrington on Holdem Vol's one and two.
post hands. be honest when you review your own play.

Re: Help down 8k this year
Play 500 low-limit SnGs. If you show a profit, move up in level. Lather, rinse, repeat, throwing in an occasional low buy-in (not $200 you psycho!) MTT.
Oh yeah, if you're not playing, you should be reading. 2+2 is free, so start there. No time for friends and family! Let's do this!

study. or quit poker...it might not be for you. [/ QUOTE ] I like the former suggestion a lot better than the latter. Sounds like OP was a victim of poor comprehension of bankroll management as opposed to poor poker playing skills. Not saying both can't be true here, but that's why OP should study up, learn about bankroll management, and try it again the right away.
