A drop in the bucket. Check out my post "One night Stands!!"
You can and will lose much more than this in one nite...even playing tight and proper. Orange |

Losing 23 BB's is 3.5 hrs is fairly common, even for a solid player.

Read davidross' posts in the General section and you'll feel the pain that even pros go through. He's had 3 200BB losses this year already I believe. Although I haven't been through the extremes he has, I've certainly come close enough to start doubting my game.

Baulucky -
No reason for concern, that's 2 pots at most tables (Paradise .50-1.00). My biggest loss is 65bb's in 4 hours. Luckily the deck ran over me the following session 4 hours +125BB. Hang in there and play well. Usually these games are weak/tight with 2-4 solid players at each table. Soon you'll recognize the regulars (sharks). Last night I saw a regular $5-10 player slumming the .50-1.00 paradise games. - lol |

I can't say that I have much sympathy my friend, hah hah. Not that it doesn't suck to lose, and I feel bad that you lost, but man... that's not even one buy in! I wouldn't worry too much. Just play it up.

Bau,
23BB's does'nt get the water hot. 200 BB +/- swings have happened to me several times. I only play the microlimits and I know that I am not that good. But the schooling effects are real, and Etilt is easy to fall prey too, which normally for me results in terrible dents to the bankroll. I like to have 500 BB's for the level I am playing at. I know it seems like a lot, but the swings are extreme for me, so........ |

Re: I just dropped 23 at 0.5/1 Paradise... 23 BBs!!!
Thanks for all responses. I think gamboolman hit the nail on the head: schooling. THIS is the reason I make more steady gains at a 6 player max. table than at a full ring. Maybe the full ring has bigger EV in the long run, but the flucs are greater with so many people taking it to the river. I know I wasn't tilting and I know I wasn't giving free cards to anybody when I had top pair or better...
I prefer steady up than riding the flucs. Now I just want an instant positive fluc, and I want it NOW!. LOL. Thanks Gamboolman, apparently there is a name in poker for everything. Schooling was it. |

500 BB Bankroll
I always hear about the 300BB rule - and if that works for people, great. However, I use the same bankroll as you, 500BB for each game I am playing (I play 3 games of $3/6) so I actually have a 1500BB bankroll.........usually gives me peace of mind. I dropped 125BB on the 18th and 19th combined, so 23BB doesn't sound like a drop of water to me. of course having the larger bankroll helps.
