Hey there Druff,
Was wondering if you'd be able to help me out here. I recently got fired from my shit job at a puppy store(LOL), and I decided to use my last check($254.14) to start my bankroll and try and support myself through poker. I play at a card-room/greyhound race track in Daytona Beach, where nothing but old people and young wannabes(like myself) play. Almost every single person there is atrocious at the game, it's "No Fold'em, Hold'em" where there are always 5-9 callers preflop, and at least 4 people make it to the river. I have been playing selective aggressive and have been coming out on top the days I've been going(3 days and i've made close to 300 dollars.)
Now I guess on to my question: Do you have any advice as to how to limit my swings and pocket more money for how long I spend at the tables(8-9 hour workday). As i said before it's no fold'em hold'em, with old people throwing there social security checks on the table, and young idiots trying to live out the espn wsop dream at 1/2 limit. Also any bankroll management tips for a roll as small as mine(I'm at $457) would be helpful.
Thanks.
I don't know what your situation is, but get a job if all you have to your name is $457. With that said, DONT BLUFF, if that many people are seeing the flop, ram and jam preflop with monsters, but be prepared to let it go if the flop obviously put someone else ahead. Suited Connectors go way up in value in games like this. With that many people you are wanting to play for Flushes and Straights rather than top pair-top kicker. Also, you can see a flop with pretty much any pair, but no set no bet, obv. I cant remember the writers name, but I read and article a few years back about the Hard Rock Tampa, when they were only allowed to have $1-2 limit. I think thats changed now, but apparently some guys were averaging $200 a day in that game, like I said that was a few years ago when games were juicier. Overall, your $1-2 game sounds just like the $4-8 games in Tunica.
