| ----But if the other person is talking BS I can’t ignore it. But really, you shouldn't take things written on a pokerforum so personal. I mean come on, get over it.
I don't take many things seriously, but I do tire of people saying things like "that's BS" etc. It's BS in your opinion only. There is nothing to "get over" - I don't appreciate people being rude. I put forward my opinion - which is what forums are about. You don't agree, but that doesn't make it BS does it?
-----It’s not all about how good you are. You might play perfect poker, only
make +EV moves, and still lose. How come? Because of badbeats.
Yes, I know about variance. The point I make still stands. If you play to place, then it's very hard to lose your money in 5 games.
---- If you’ve played this many Sitt & Go’s at the same level and have only had a losing streak of 3 or 4 in a row, I must say you are running better than God.
Yep - I am playing well. I think not better than God, but if I start having a bad run, I just play for 3rd (or better) and soon recoup. Put it this way. I play 99% SnGs and have been doing so for a few years. I deposited $100 when I started (which I lost, learning the game), then another $100. I have never EVER reloaded since and I have a lot more than I started with.
You do NOT have to follow conventional bankrol management if your startegy allows for slowing down and "recovering". You can talk all day about variance but I maintain that coming 3rd in a SnG is amazingly easy for the disciplined.
------ For starters, S&G’s are ALL about finishing ITM, where as MTT’s are all about making the final 3 As long as you in S&G’s get you’rer buy-in back and a little more you’re off good.
Kind of - 3rd is are not worth the time spent in SnGs. You spend an hour or more to break even or make $5 or so. You'd be better off at a cash table to be honest. For me, 3rd in a SnG is a consolation prize for a wasted hour plus.
-----Apparently there's no convincing you, let me just say that you will be a losing player in the long run if you keep playing with these rules regarding your bankroll.
... But I'm not! lol. I'm a winning player - consistently. Just because the majority of people have a set bankrol "rule", which I agree completely is a great guideline, it does not mean you HAVE to apply it to yourself. That's what I am saying.
So I'm consistenly breaking the rules, but doing fine. And thats over years.
----Like I said, poker isn't about making big $ quickly.
On the other hand, grinding, for some of us, is dull. It makes me lose interest and then play badly. We all have different motivators.  |
