Stupid question: Do you start a new BR every year? Did you cash your winnings out and restarted a new project in 2019?

And again some games this evening, I also am playing the Dark Matter, a 10 euro freezeout since I won a 10 euro ticket!

I cashed out most of the money several times last year since I am saving money for a new car (as you can read in my first post :-p). This is a new plan, and there is no cashing out included :-p Just building a roll..
How do you manage BRM - as far as I read you got something like 300 Euro BR and play already the 5 Euro-tourneys? When do you move down or up?

Also see my first post :-p
And busted again already in the 10 MTT. QJo loses from KJo after both hitting two pair.
Pretty loose BRM ...... that´s why I ask..... because a downswing can hit anyone....
Prim, the MTT schedule is so sparse and diverse that the registration in a specific MTT is a separate BRM decision; it should be played whenever the risk-adjusted EV* is positive. Surely, the higher the BI, the more the variance eats into the $EV (e.g. at the BI level that's exactly the Kelly criterion optimal BI, variance eats half of the nominal $EV), but for the softest of the higher BI MTTs, the risk-adjusted EV is still bigger than the loss of the EV in the other MTTs caused by the higher table count and the poorer focus.
* Idk how to explain it plainly; the value of a BR is a nonlinear concave function of its size (e.g. in the Kelly criterion, the value of a BR is its logarithm, and one strives to maximise the expectation of the logarithm of the BR), just like the ICM value of a stack is a concave function of its size. Similarly to the risk premium in the ICM, there's a risk premium in BRM, and you don't play too high stakes even if you have a higher $EV there exactly because the difference in $EVs is too small to compensate for the difference in risk premia. But in featured higher stake MTTs, the $EV is too big to skip them.

I know it is. If I lose the bankroll, it would be no problem to redeposit, but if I go up in levels, I will use the move-down rules. We'll just see how it goes. But that it's loose that's true. I'll take my chances. 
Tony, you´re right. Playing 1€ and 2€ tourneys with something like 800 $ BR is no solution either. I should loosen up my BRM and learn from Angstzweet, lol, that should be my nickname, cause it means "anxiety sweat", it´s ME who is anxious 
and doesn´t move her bum bum up but stays in her nice and cosy comfort-zone instead

Exactly! I´m the opposite with her comfortable bum bum in her comfy-zone! Lol, that´s why I read your blog: Hope to learn from you and finally get my lazy and comfy bum bum up!!!!!!!!
Don't forget, it's all personal! If you are feeling much more comfy using your own BRM-rules, that't fine too!

Well that sucks a bit cause yeah, you can´t loose much, but you can´t win much either! I should have moved up in limits long time ago but coward me is sticking in her cosy comfy-zone, complaining that she doesn´t win so much 
Coward Prim hates to take a chance and that´s something I must URGENTLY work on!
Many people refuse to believe this, but KTU's BRM strategies do have a solid scientific basis, though actually, they're more suitable for those who're already beating the games but had to withdraw most of the BR for real-life reasons, than for those who don't know if they're beating the games yet.
Edit: omg, I did mention the Bellman equation in that thread 3 years ago, that's really high-level maths. It's astonishing how little I've changed over the past 3-5 years - I was understanding the same things years ago that I understand now, just didn't make proper use of them. I'm so lazy
Just came in 2nd in the Singularity:
Still some other decent stacks. Let's hope for some decent results.
This is kinda how my evening went, not gonna post all bad beats, but this is the most beautiful one:
Guy minraises from MP, CO calls, I am in the big blind and only have to add one big blind to the pot to see a flop. This is wat the runout is. Got it in on flop obv.
It's official, that was a real drama evening. Not gonna say too much about it. Gonna go to bed for now, cry about all the bad beats I received.
Bankroll: €180.96
Fasten your seat belts - we're riding a rollercoaster 
But that's OK because the skill will prevail in the long run.
