12 DONs 11 ITM

24.02.2009, 23:35 0

So I read a pokerstrategy.com article about DONs and started messing around with them. I played some 6+1$ buy-ins firstly and made around 12$ or so and decided that the rake there is too big. So I moved up and in last two days I played 12 of them and finished 11 in the money.
I was playing 10+1$ buy-ins, so I made 88$ in two days. My bankroll from 99 jumped to 187$ ♦

Thanks to pokerstrategy

P.S. I find these DONs very boring, but profitable and easy to multi-table. I hope that I will have more time to play them later and I will post my success here if I keep it up somehow.

P.S.2 pokerstrategy.com please add more articles about DON ... they are PROFITABLE. I am in poker not to beat the best players but to beat the worst players

You hardly dont respect Bankroll managment, it could be disaster if you hit a downsing ...

I am just a small fish in the pool of big sharks. Dont eat me please :)

Indeed, but with such brm with a big downswing which is bound to happen to all of us... statistics... you could go broke with zero control over it. thats poker and thats variance, and thats what brm is for
