BRM Question

Hi all

I have been taking a break from poker but am planning soon to start a blog and play cash games mainly with tournaments on the side.

Currently studying as much as possible for I jump in again. I am hoping to play 4-6 hours a day when I do so putting in some fair volume.

I would like to know what you guys use a general rule of thumb regarding BRM. I am thinking of doing 3-5% cash games and 1-2% tournaments. If I lose 10% of my BR in a session I would then quit for the day. Do most people do 25-30 buy ins here?

Just looking for a general idea.

Thanks!

Hi!

I would say it depends on your expected win rate pre as well as post RB. That is number 1 factor along with how you cope mentally with variance and tilt of any sort. Because there are players who have EV bb that's decent/good or high, but when in session they encounter several bad beats in a row they end up spewing tons of stacks right after it. So this is why it is very difficult to give exact number of buy ins for playing certain limit. In the end, the more the better, if you can get 100 buy ins, do 100 buy ins because it will affect you less mentally if you go on downswing vs just having 20-30 buy ins/stacks because with 10-15 stacks loss it may affect your decision making greatly.

a guy w terminal illness will have other (poker) goals than a guy who plays poker as a hobby in the evenings and doesnt have real ambitions, or a young kid w no degree who went allin on poker and has no real other options and cannot ever bust

u should never ask abt BRM 'tips' as ur EV of happiness/$ will come from it being a reflection of ur own goals/mindset in both poker and life
