Swings...

Had some really bad swings these couple of days, although I didnt play much, Was up all the way to $155, then by some sick bad beats on the river , I went down to as far as $147, I swear after this one time the guy sucked out for $5 I immediately turned off my PC and went to blow off the steam before tilt makes me lose more $$.

So what do I do now? I'm rethinking my strategy, I think I'm gonna go back to what's i'm good at naturally - tournament.

Gonna set $10 aside and gonna keep playing SNG and Tournes. I'm gonna use TheWall's SNG step system to see how far I can make it.

TheWall's Step SNG System:

This chart was made with full tilt sit and go's 9 player non turbo's, stars and other sites have similar buy ins so a easy adjustment shouldnt be a hassle

I constantly get messaged on how players are doing great using my sit and go for beginners strategy 1 player has cashed on average 9 out of 10 they play

most of the poeple who send me these follow up shortly with a huge loss and they have to start all over again because they went to the ring(cash) tables or thought they were ready for and played the higher stakes sit and go's

so i devoloped this strategy and did this chart so my fellow railbirds have something to follow that both allows players to experience the higher stakes and NOT risk all there bankroll

here are the rules if you want to play with your bankroll but want to keep it safe you must follow them

RULE 1 if at any time your bankroll falls below the min BR required for any stage YOU MUST STEP DOWN A STAGE

RULE 2 if at any time you do not cash 2 games in a row YOU MUST STOP PLAYING FOR AT LEAST AN HOUR AND FIGURE OUT WHY( IF YOU KNOW WHY STRAIGHT AWAY IE A BAD BEAT OR CARD DEAD TAKE A BREAK ANYWAY AND COME BACK FRESH)

RULE 3 never ever step up a stage until your bankroll meets the minimum requirement THIS ALLOWS FOR THOSE THAT CONSITANTLY CASH TO ADVANCE BUT A LITTLE SLOWER

RULE 4 if you ever get lucky to cash ie your the one who sucked out on somebody or your simply outclassed by over half the players and you know it STEP DOWN A STAGE AND REINFORCE YOUR CONFIDENCE (BE HONEST WITH YOURSELF)

RULE 5 make sure you never get sidetracked print this out if you have to but check the rules after every game you play IF YOU DONT FOLLOW THE RULES AND BLOW YOUR BANKROLL IM SORRY BUT I DONT WANT TO KNOW ABOUT IT

RULE 6 never ever play a turbo if you want to gamble go play craps or roulette (TURBO'S FAVOUR MANIACS AND IDIOTS THE BLIND STRUCTURE WILL FAVOUR A CHIP STACK AND PURE LUCK OVER SKILL)

RULE 7 do not ever change you game do not switch from holdem to omaha etc ( if you want to play something else split your bankroll and start fresh on the new game)STAY WITH WHAT YOUR WINNING IF ITS NOT BROKEN DONT FIX IT

RULE 8 if you win all 8 in a row its a fluke stop immediately and start again DO NOT STEP TO STAGE 9 IF YOU HAVENT LOST(ONCE AGAIN DONT FIX WHAT ISNT BROKEN)

RULE 9 never ever play a $100+ game they take too long to fill up and its where most of the professionals play if your BR hits $10,000 do what ever the hell you want but until then trust me
