Just curious jovica, what kind of bankroll you keep on ps to play at those stakes? dont have to say the exact number, but do you withdraw everything from the profit or keep a percentage there to eventually raise up the ladder again?

1000 euros. I dont think that I need that much since I never had swings worse then 15 bi but I like to feel comftable while playing. While I was playing 7$ it was 500e(when I stareded to play them it was 150$ tho because I saw I can easly crush them so I didnt want to stuck in 3,5$ ones for mounth or more but I can tell you that right on beggining I was very close to busto and I learned lesson there. So 100 bi more or less. But, I think you can easly have 50 bi br. I just withrawed less money when I decided to go at bigger stakes. I doubt that I will move to 30$ ones any time soon. You are from Cro so I dont need to explain how big money that is for us here. It would be awfull to relize that you lost average salery in one downswing

Actually im Portuguese but i live here for around 4 years now. i do know what u mean m8 and ill still have a lot of grinding STGs before i reach anything close to those stakes ( if ever). even thinking about it makes me nervous lol. A 15bi downswing on those levels and i would start running around like a headless chicken .

Exactly! But if you are poker player yu must concider that money to be just amount of BI. Its still hard to me to have that mindset tho

Ive just passed trough worst period in poker that I had in my life. Had 30 BI swing on HU on stars, and I probably dont need to mention shits that happend to me during that time...losing with AA all in preflop against 94 is one of situations that can give you picture. Im still having down 30BI on HU but I managed to win ATLANTIS DEEP STACK on PKR for 435$ . So, Ive managed to win back almost all losses during this crazy HU swing and what is more important to be more positive about poker. Boy I needed it reaally bad...and it came in right time
