Like 10 hands before the above hand I was in 1st and there were like 20 people left. Then this crazy aggro who ended up getting 3rd and was actually pretty good, took most of my chips. This coinflip win was HUGE.

I played the above hand geniosly in my opinion. When it got folded to me in the SB I min-raised whereas I had been 2.5Xing every other hand. I did it becuase the guy was pretty weak/passive, so I wanted to squeeze value out of him and get him to call. When he called the and the flop hit, I knew if I checked to him he would ty and make some sort of bluff (he had done it before). I did, then he bet pot, which kind of scared me because I had noted him as that being strength, but there was no way I was folding in that spot. Ship it!

It feels so good to finally get a big win. I knew once it got down to heads-up, my experience with heads-up SNGs would give me the advantage. His play was standard at the end and he was a good player. GG

I LOVE THESE ARTICLES ON B ROLL MANAGEMENT OR RUNNING BAD

I LOVE THESE ARTICLES ON B ROLL MANAGEMENT OR RUNNING BAD
163Bankroll Management
Craig Marquis
October 24th, 2008
When I first started playing poker, I had no idea what bankroll management was. I just sat in whichever games were open at the stakes I wanted to play, even if I barely had enough money in my bankroll to cover the buy-in. I worked my way up the ranks by jumping to the next level as soon as I had enough money to pay for a single buy-in. This strategy worked amazingly well for a while, but once I reached stakes where the quality of play was much higher than I was used to, my lack of bankroll management almost proved disastrous.
 
After playing thousands of hands and building a bankroll large enough to play in almost any game I wanted, I managed to lose almost all of it in the span of a few days. Many professional poker players end up going broke multiple times in their careers, and this is almost always due to a lack of bankroll management. The players who will be around forever are the ones who have learned this lesson.
 
Although painful, some good did come from these experiences: I learned the importance of bankroll management. Now instead of playing at the highest limits that my bankroll allows, I play in lower stakes games where I still feel like I’m playing for a significant amount of money. Playing as low as $2/$4, $3/$6, and $5/$10 No-Limit, I’m able to play a completely objective game. Because I’m not afraid to lose a $1,000 in a single hand, I can make a lot of moves that I probably wouldn’t make at higher stakes and if I fail the loss hardly affects me. This gives me an enormous advantage over opponents who would be devastated by a $1,000 loss.
 
There’s an old saying that goes "scared money is dead money," and it’s true. You simply can’t consistently win at poker if you’re playing with money you’re afraid to lose. To combat this, I like to play in games with buy-ins 40 to 50 times smaller than the size of my bankroll. Ten buy-in downswings are common in poker, and it’s comforting to be prepared for such variance.
 
By observing proper bankroll management and playing at stakes your bankroll can handle, you’ll be able to limit the impact variance has on your game. You’ll be able to endure a ten buy-in downswing without going on tilt and you won’t be crushed when you hit the cashier button and see that your balance has dropped dramatically.
 
One of the biggest problems with playing at stakes that are too high for your bankroll is not being able to minimize the impact of variance. If you choose to play in a game that could wipe out your entire bankroll by losing four buy-ins, you’re not going to be able to get involved in many situations where you only have a slight edge. Playing with this sort of restraint isn’t good for a poker player.
 
In an attempt to lower variance, poker players who are under rolled for the game they’re in give up a lot of their EV because they’re playing scared. If you happen to spot one of these players, you can easily exploit their fear.
 
Here’s an example of what I’m talking about. I recently played heads up against a player who was obviously playing with scared money. He was one of those players looking for an excuse to fold unless he could show the nuts. Taking advantage of his tendency to fold all but the very best hands, I picked every marginal situation I could find and attacked. Any time I found a spot where I believed he thought I couldn’t possibly be bluffing, I would do just that.
 
In one such hand he bet $150 on the river when the board showed a pair and three cards to a flush. There was $300 in the pot, and I moved all in for my last $300. It was only $150 more for him to call, but he folded because it was a spot where he must have thought there was no possible way I could be bluffing. Discovering this weakness in his game made for a very profitable session for me, but I wouldn’t have discovered it if I hadn’t been willing to shove all my chips into the middle in marginal situations – I never would have done that if the stakes had been higher or I had a smaller bankroll.
 
If you are properly bankrolled for whichever game you choose to play, you’ll be able to make the optimal play in any situation that might occur without having to decide if it’s a high-variance move or not. By playing in games where the loss of ten buy-ins in a row would hardly put a dent in your bankroll, you’ll be able to maximize your EV, enjoy less dramatic swings in your bankroll, and celebrate an increase in your win rate, which in poker is a recipe for success.

October 7, 2008, 1AM: Played 8 hours, 30 minutes, Made $230.00 at Lucky Lil's - Great Falls
$225 Buy-In No-Limit Texas Hold'em Tournament (5th out of 47 Players)

What a grind.. work my way to the final table.
 
Lowest in chips with 10 players left, only the top 4 really make any money, $1000 ish and more.
 
Jimmy is at the final table with me and we both are in short stack steal/grind mode trying to outlast the others.
 
I manage to pick the right spots to steal and attack.  At times not looking at my hand to go all in to ensure I pull the trigger.
 
My only mistake at the final table was when in the BB with two limpers the flop came down 27J two spades.  I held the 92 of spades.  The UTG limper checked, button bet 5K.  I called assuming if he had air he would take the free card on the turn.  Instead he fired off 7.5k and I had only 9K.  I layed it down, in retrospect I should have check raised all in or folded.
 
GO back to the grind and build my stack into second place.  Had the chip leader on my right and two easy reads on my left fueling my stack.
 
Disaster struck in the BB with KK when AJ donkey makes a raise and when I move in he can't fold.  I'm left with >20K in chips and short stacked.  I do my best to grind with 5 players left but have nothing to work with.
 
Had I won that KK pot I would have been chip leader with 4 left and "easily" should have taken top two.

Put myself in a hole early and never fully recovered.  Made a questionable all-in call at the end with bottom pair and gutshot st8 draw.  Scratch that.  Made a HORRIBLE call there.
