Guess you've not heard of short stack strategy? Unless you do you shouldn't expect to gain anything with it seriously. And to complain about donks is pretty much the stupidest thing ever, if everyone was a quality player you would gain even less over time.

yeah i agree, enough allready with the bankroll managment, its starting to give me the shits people talking about, (you should have done this, you should have done that, if you used bankroll managment that wouldnt happen, and so on) i dont use it, i play poker to gamble, i dont go to the track with 2k and place 50cent bets either, each to there own i guess.

No but then you dont go on forum complaining about your horse loosing, without bankroll management, no matter if you have enough for it or not you have to expect to go bust with it. And to come in and complain about there being donks out there is the stupidest thing of all since those are the ones keeping poker profitable for people playing professionally. Sure with 10 $ it is hard to play it completelly safe, but if you are serious with it you would go with sss or expect to bust out. I accept that you had a bad beat and that is terrible, but we have all them many times, and we will all have several more, but to complain about a donk getting lucky is just stupid, it is not that unlikely, what ever he had that would probably have happened at least once every 20 times.

just lost my virgin 10euro to somone who called all in with bottom pair and made a runner runner suck out lol
not really botherd cus it was 10 euro but sucks because i knew i could make somthing out of it
this was a bankroll mob member who posts on the forums anyway and ill out the rookie if he tries to justify calling all in with bottom pair when he wasnt get the right odds to call
edit: if anyone was wondering i floped the wheel i held A 5 suited on the button and got reraised on the flop of 2 3 4 by 8 2 offsuit i push with the 2nd nuts obv turn 2 river 8 whalllop

hi bankroll mob cant verify player style play and with 10 $ u cant do nothing without luck so if you want play vs better player dont get free bankroll and play low limit make a big deposit and play in high limits tables you ll see players are better and bad beats .......... that poker

I'm not surprised at this bad beat. If you have just 10 dollars, you need a lot of luck to start building your bankroll. At low limits there are so many donks.... This 10 dollars is like the red or black in roulette.

With 10 dollars you can play $0,50 sit n gos, there are lots of bad players so you can try to double your BR in 2,3 days. I think for good players this is very easy

Goodluck
I'm seeing that but i hate play vs that stupid donks that u do a raise and have like 3 calls and u can't do a continue bet or something if u don't get nothing on flop cause goes always someone searching something....
I believe it's easy but i don't like play vs donks, i prefer lose with AK suited vs jackz or AQ than AK suited vs A2 or that terribles runner runners, i know it's poker but sucks...
I play virgin with 10€ last day and go to 3.3€ sng, after win something and have like 20€ go to 5€ sng, when i have almost 50€ i enter in a guarenteed tournament 15€, it's risky but it's very good MTT, don't have luck, only 2 good pockets in more than 1 hour and don't doble up, 60 place top 20 with little more than 200, good torney. Play again 5€ and have like 35€, it's ok! I'm going keep playing 5€ and if bankroll goes down i will go down to 3.3€ again...and on these limits have bad players too but have to start like that to go play little better tables, have to be lucky sometimes but pay 4 places in 10 players it's good, 4th receive the buy in, give you oportunity to other table
Let's see if i go up to 100€ to manage my account well.

thats exactly what i meant. if you dont have a good day, then you cant do anything with $10. even if you play very tight you still can lose with a good hand and be down to $3...and then have fun. beside that SSS is predictable you have to be very very patient - and that on a low limit ? hmm i dont even think SSS is recommend for low limit lol

SSS works fine on no limit 10 and is good for 5 buy ins which is actually pretty decent for such a small roll. Much better than going for a full buy in and risking loosing to a donk. If there are so many donks, just adjust your game to that. I never said that you were a bad player Padod, I never said you didn't know bankroll management, and yes you probably have a much larger bank roll and play much better than I do. But seriously, what is the use of complaining about bad beats? It happens, that is the reason for bankroll management, and sometimes you cant follow that, but you don't have a reason to complain either.

OF COURSE they have more than 100 BI's. 100 % sure about that. If not, they would go broke. It's their job man!! Ever heard downswings?

Yep. They must have more than 20 buy ins. Antonius was down nearly a million one day last (or this) week. So the swings are brutal.

It's my job too and yes I've heard about downswings But I still think you need a reality check if you think they got minimum $20 million. There are probably some that have but I doubt it's "normal" to have $20-40+ million bankroll.
@ Padod
I agree they should put their money where their mouth is but I doubt they will.
Btw sorry about my comments to you in my TT thread but some of this forums users get on my nerves so maybe im a bit too fast sometimes. Bad habbit, hat's of to you.
Perhaps I will become your country man, as you probably heard Denmark has some sick tax laws besides that they(government) are now making trouble about living of poker because poker is hasard in DK and they got a law saying it's illegal to live of hasard. So they are taking my bred and butter. No way.....im out...probably to UK where as I understand it, it's fully legal and tax free even as your primary income. Please correct me if im wrong
Edit: btw I lost my Virgin 10bucks too some stupid chaser called turn without odds and hit.
