Posted by Phisix: Short stacking is a good way for cash games if you do not have that great of a bankroll. I have had success with it myself a lot. Now you can keep pushing on.
some players play better deep some short stacked it depends form player to player. if u play better SS stick to it good thing in shortstack play is that u don't risk much money but little by little can get you far. look at nanonoko guy earns playn mid stakes as much money as high stakes pro
@ pascal how is your bankroll challenge going on any progress ?

Indeed. In a way it's better as you can double up from your SS and have a normal full BI then you can win more or lose less. It's a win win situation if you can play and win well.
Take a break Pascal for a few hours so you don't run the risk of tilting after doing well with your bankroll.

I just played in a cashgame but again it seems that I hit 1 flop per 10 hands, and most of them I was beat by a higher pair. I just don't get it... my bankroll is now down to $2,07...
I think the best way is to not play in those micro-stakes anymore. SnG's don't really work-out as well...
BUT, I play very well in mtt's because everytime when I join them for just 20 minutes I multiple my stack by 4 or 5! (and that's not done by any shoving) A major minus is that I can't play very well when I am in a chiplead. I just have to sit-out then and wait until the blinds and stacks are higher, then I multiply my stack with 3 and wait til the bubble is over...
This way I can play them very well but the point is that at duckpoker the only mtt's are $10 (or some more) freerolls
I think I should wait for players to come and play when there are real money mtt's... In the meantime I can build up a little BR with the freerolls to play them
I just need a lot of patience...
------------ It is an always repeating thing for me: I start out very well in everything and then I can't win any hand, something like 10% where I hit the flop, and I go down... I'll never play cashgames anymore!

Well I'm waiting for a good tourney with a bigger buy-in because I got T$5 from duckpoker and win big to get a nice BR so that I don't have to play at micro stakes.

Damn you were doing so well with your real money bankroll last time I was on here. Sound's like a bad run, I can relate. At least your have those T$ so you are still in it to get a bankroll back.

Yeah, I was playing 3 HU sng's and I all lost them all ...
All because of bad beats, I went all-in 5 times and was beaten by fish who tried to catch their 3-outer which obviously worked...
From now on I will only play the freerolls and wait until I have a BR of around $20 (will take a lot of time...) and then play some big HU sng's or DON and build up a bankroll starting in medium takes.

I don't really win and like it. I now try to win a freeroll at PS to go to the weekly round 2, I saw that tournament has a great prizepool! So you won't be hearing much from me in this thread I suppose, hopefully I can tell you very soon that I got a ticket!
