Having a big issue on increasing my bankroll. I have been playing I believe TAG but still not I guess enough.

Playing on PartyPoker. Took the Instant Bankroll signup bonus.

First I tried .25/50 Limit and was losing and I took the TAG play but still getting the BR knocked down.

Second I tried the 5+1 S&G's and some sucess but again I am getting knocked. I won one S&G and was able to transfer some $$ to Fulltilt.

Playing on Fulltilt.

On Fulltilt I have been playing .5/.10 NL and was getting some sucess but again the BR is decreasing. I did try some S&G but no luck on this site.

What would your suggestions be to get my BR back on the increase. Lets say both sites I am down below $30.00.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

now that you have tried several form of hold'em, you should pick on and stick with it. even if you play a winning style, it is possible to have a losing streak for a few thousand hands.this becomes even more likely if you a playing a style that just barely wins.

because of this, your bankroll should be large enough to withstand some shrinkage. if you really have less than $30 on each site, or about $60 combined, then I have to recomment you play very low limit poker. you have sufficient funds for .05/.10 limit. does FullTilt offer this?.

finally, you should also take advantage of bonus offers. look at bonuswhores.com. they give information about several sites that offer easily cleared monthly bonuses (say $50 or $90) each month. this will give you a way to replenish and increase your bankroll.

Two suggestions:

1) Post a few hands and let the guys in this forum analyze your play. This will serve as a band-aid to plug any huge leaks that may exist in your game.

2) Read and reread Small Stakes Hold 'Em by Ed Miller, David Sklansky, and Mason Malmuth. This is more of a long term solution, but I promise it will help your play tremendously.

Good Luck.

Thanks,

Haven't really looked a Bonus offers. But from my understanding you have to deposit to get these bonus. I haven't yet deposited any $$. The money that I have presently is just from the InstantBankroll offer for Party Poker.

As for hand history I haven't any of those but I will request some from Party Poker and post them here.

For books I have the new Little Green Book, Hold'em Poker for Advanced Players, Hold'em Poker, Shuffle Up and Deal

Not sure if these books are really useful at my experience level. Maybe later they would be much more useful. Will go and the SSHE for sure.

My goal is to make this a longterm fun. No that excited in making any deposits so I hope to make the BR increase so that method won't have to be used.
