I just got a slight bump to my bankroll this weekend. Bought in for $20 at a .25/.50 NLHE home game that a friend invited me to and cashed out at $243.
I did come close to losing it, but I managed to run hot in January. I ran it up over $1000 (to date)
It's a spot for us degens to play every night, sometimes 3 times a night... (Last Friday) usually $10-$20 buy ins on pokerstars.@Frogzilla @toynoob What is this PCF P* league? Don't want to get too far off topic, but it sparks my interest.
We use play money on the site... We have tournament directors who collect Paypal payments and distribute it to the winners.Unfortunately, I can't play for real money on the poker stars site smmfh. I have to live with play money
Bahaha ya right...I had to create a Poker Bankroll with automatic deposits put into it weekly just to keep track of how much money I lose to @toynoob on P*'s.
I have a bankroll that I initially funded from profit generated from selling out of other hobbies. I keep this money entirely separate from everything else and I do not use it for anything except poker. No poker chips, no food, no nothing. This money is strictly for buyins into cash games and tournaments. I then track every session to monitor my game. I keep casino sessions and home game sessions separate. I was doing very well in both and had 2 really nasty casino runs that put a dent in the bank roll so I'm taking a break and sticking to house games to replenish some of the lost funds. Both sessions had sick sick sick beats so I don't feel bad about how I played but it still feels like dogshit regardless lol. Still positive overall which feels good.
Same here. Casino wins are always huge relative to home games for me. My biggest casino win is basically almost my net profit for home games over the last 3-4 months lol. Sometimes we play short handed and there just isn't much money on the table. Purely to hang out with friends. But The consistent winning at homes games is nice. It puts me in a good poker mind-state and I tend to player better. I was tilting hard after those two bad casino sessions so I really needed a break from that environment and it was worth it. I've already recouped like 40% of what I lost in 3 home game sessions and I've just been a happier personI wish I was more dedicated to keeping detailed records. Every time I try I get lazy. The one time I was doing pretty well the app I was using crashed and I lost all the data.
I know I crush home games so I try to play them more as well. But my average casino win is still usually bigger than all but most biggest home game wins. Casino games have a lot more variance for me, both bigger wins and bigger losses but are still positive overall.
Knowing my hourly rate between them would be interesting, but I’m too lazy to keep track. By the time I finish playing I’m too tired to much of anything.
Poker Analytics 5. Awesome. So easy to use.I wish I was more dedicated to keeping detailed records. Every time I try I get lazy. The one time I was doing pretty well the app I was using crashed and I lost all the data.
