Started From The Bottom

Hey Plamen,

Welcome to the 'Get Rich or Die Tryin' bankroll challenge. we will be looking forward to your first update which you should post by Monday of each week in Get Rich or Die Tryin' - The Bankroll Challenge - Reporting thread.

Nice to see a 45 manner about. ♠_thumbsup:

Have fun

Laz

Hey there and welcome to blogs!

With just 19$ I recommend you to start from the lowest buy-in SnGs you can find from PokerStars.

@Lazza61 Thanks, hope to help with the experience that you have

@NutzAreOk Thanks, I think 40 BI me enough. However, I have some experience in 45man. If my bankroll drops to $ 10 then you pulled at the lowest level.:f_thumbsup:

Hey Plamen,

If you have prior experience in 45 manners, that BRM should be fine. I used to use 20 BIs for regulars and 30 BIs for turbos and my BR was never under threat. I don't really play 45 manners much anymore (playing more MTTs these days) but I do enjoy them and want to do a tankroll on them soon.

Cheers

Laz

This week will not have much time to play. I hope next week I could do a good volume.

With all due respect but 40 BI is really not enough no matter how good you are. It`s always possbile to hit 40 BI downswing. Gl however!

Hello,

Here are the results of the first week:

Volume is low but hopefully this week is good.

Today divided the game into two sessions. In the first session I played $ 0.50 45man and several MTT with input $0.55.
In the second session I played $ 1.50 45man

Bankroll: $60

Week 2

Tournaments: 77
Net Winnings: $34
Bankroll: $76

This week I started to cash games. The reason for this is that I can not stand to long sessions only a 5 minute break.

Weeks 5

Weeks 6

Hi,

Yesterday I had to reinstall my windows and unfortunately lose my database of HM 2.

Of €100 Bankroll started playing strategy "Tankroll bankroll management: from €150 to €1,000" .
Things for now I get well and picking up the bank to €170. Start working on my preflop ranges. I will pay more attention to my game from the late positions

Would be nice to see a update here as well.
Based on your reports week 7 you made a nice profit and you ended break even in week 8.
Are you happy how it’s going on the moment?

Further I wish you all the best with your challenge

Cheers,

Hello,
I decided to go back to pokerstars. I started with $ 150. For now I will play in strategy "Tankroll bankroll management". Unfortunately I went very well and did some pretty stupid mistakes post-flop. This week I will try to play a little tight and regained losses.

Here is a hand that I think I played pretty bad:
Poker Stars, $0.05/$0.10 No Limit Hold'em Cash, 6 Players
Poker Tools Powered By Holdem Manager - The Ultimate Poker Software Suite.

SB: $7.86 (78.6 bb)
BB: $14.49 (144.9 bb)
UTG: $10 (100 bb)
Hero (MP): $10 (100 bb)
CO: $14.30 (143 bb)
BTN: $5.07 (50.7 bb)

Preflop: Hero is MP with 5 5
UTG folds, Hero raises to $0.30, CO raises to $0.80, 3 folds, Hero calls $0.50

Flop: ($1.75) 3 Q 8 (2 players)
Hero checks, CO bets $0.90, Hero raises to $2.10, CO calls $1.20

Turn: ($5.95) 9 (2 players)
Hero bets $2, CO calls $2

River: ($9.95) 5 (2 players)
Hero bets $5.10 and is all-in, CO calls $5.10

Results:

@SDK1987 Hello,
7 weeks was really good, but at the moment things are not going very well. I decided to change my poker room because I did the volume was too small. I hope that in pokerstars will do more volume and things will happen quickly. Overall I think these nine weeks already are a complete failure.

Thanks and sorry for my bad English

Your English isn’t bad I think for someone that doesn’t write English often.

I’m no cash gamer, but looks like a easy fold on his 3 bet. I don’t think you get the implied odds for hitting a set or you had other reasons to call that wasn’t based on the ‘Call 20’ rule alone. The check/raise on flop makes not to much sense I think. I would fold here as well with only 2 outs to hit a set and in worst case only one 5 is life.

Hopefully your running better this week

Best regards,
SDK1987

MP: $11.36 (113.6 bb)
Hero (CO): $14 (140 bb)

Preflop: Hero is CO with T J
2 folds, Hero raises to $0.25, 2 folds, BB calls $0.15

Flop: ($0.55) 9 T 5 (2 players)
BB checks, Hero bets $0.39, BB raises to $0.78, Hero calls $0.39

Turn: ($2.11) J (2 players)
BB bets $1.61, Hero raises to $12.97 and is all-in, BB calls $5.74 and is all-in

River: ($16.81) 5 (2 players, 2 are all-in)

what do you think ? When I played I put the Villain of the flush draw

Not sure if he played a flush draw like that on the flop. He can also have a set that he min raised for value. I would call here as well, but I would be cautious on later streets

On the turn you hit 2 pair. So you beat a hand like T9, but that’s I think the only hand you get value from if you shove. I would call here and fold the river on a decent bet.
