Latest Poker Results

Not much good news lately. I haven't played much live as we just had our *fifth* child two weeks ago. This past Saturday, my wife felt up to going over to a friend's house to play a very small, cheap tourney. ($10/rebuy with only 9 players) Neither of us finished in the money and there were really no big hands or bad beats (not that anyone likes to hear a bad beat story). We did get to see a Royal Flush, which I haven't seen in awhile. My friend Henry, who was hosting the tourney, held QTd and flopped AdKd8d and then turned the Jd. He went all in on the river and was called by a guy holding 10s9d ??? Ok...

I have been playing online all at Full Tilt over the last month or so. (Originally started playing at Pokerstars). I am your typical micro-stakes online player. I deposited just $50 a couple months back on Full Tilt. I started just playing $5 SNG and .5/.10NL along with cheap MTT tourneys, including the weekly RGP game on Monday nights.

I was lucky enough to win one of the RPG tournaments for a little over $200 and I have recently moved up to playing $10 SNG and $1/$2 limit.

Right away playing 1/2 I went on a nice run winning about $200 along with cashing decently in the $10 SNG (both 1 and 2 table). Last week I had my bankroll up to about $655. Not too shabby from my $50.

Well what a difference a week makes. I haven't been running (or should say playing) very well at the 1/2 game at all and have bricked in my last 6 $10 SNGs. My bankroll is now down to about $512.

I am curious as to what limits for tournaments and cash games I should really be playing with my current bankroll.

Yes, I'm also after the answer to that elusive question. The stuff I constantly read about 300BB's being enough, doesn't seem right if I just want to play no limit. I seem to always be putting $200 into my online poker accounts and then pissing it away. I usually play at the .50-$1 no limit tables and it will last for awhile but then a few bad beats wipes it out and I have to start over again. But then again, I'm sure I have a lot to learn about my game.

You read anything about how much bigger a bankroll should be if you plan on exclusively playing no limit ?

Thanks for the link.

Yes, I live up in NW Austin, near Round Rock. I run a monthly game, $60 no limit tourney. No rebuys. Good game. Let me know if you are interested. The next one is tonight 5/5, short notice, but we've got room. 16 people right now. Shoot me an email and I'll send you the evite, and put you on the permanent evite list, if you want.
