gregdon8 0 Posted May 26, 2006 Share Posted May 26, 2006 I have had my best week so far, winning two tourneys totaling $2500 ($20 180 SNG, and $100 double shootout last night)The point of this is not to brag, but ask advice.Two questions.1. Is it a good idea to play more tourneys then usual during this time when I am obviously both playing well and running good?2. What limit tourneys should I play now with $2500 BR?I feel that I can play the $50 and up tourneys with relative success, but due to a lot of previous financial resp. , have stuck to lower limit.After winning the SNG with my acount round $1400, I cashed out $800 to take care of some things, leaving myself $500 to play with. I strecthed out of my BR and played in the $100, because I was confident and think I am a good SNG player, which is what shootouts are.Now I am back up to round $2000?????Thx in advanceRecent results are available on tournamentreporter.com alias, donatelli on stars Link to post Share on other sites

iggymcfly 0 Posted May 27, 2006 Share Posted May 27, 2006 Just stick with what's working for you. Don't overdo the "strict bankroll" thing, but don't play over you head either. I'd suggest sticking with the $77 and lower tourneys until you get to $4500 ($55 and under until $3000 if you're disciplined enough), at which point you can safely afford to play the $109 tourneys. If you're really set on not moving down, you can stick with the $109 tourneys, but just realize that even as a winning player, you have a substantial risk of going broke, (somewhere in the 30-50% range). Whatever you do, don't raise yourself above that, because if you continue playing with less than 15 buy-ins, you're almost guaranteed to go broke. Link to post Share on other sites
gregdon8 0 Posted May 29, 2006 Author Share Posted May 29, 2006 thanks guys.basically what I did with my $500 Br was play a $35 SNG, won it for $135, then used that money to essentially"freeroll" into the bigger $109 double shootout which I was fonrtunate enough to win.I have done this in the past with the SNG, on a smaller scale with relative success.I find the $35 6 seated SNG to be pretty soft.Is this Ok then to allow me to take some shots in the bigger tourneys, while not affecting my BR?
