Hi, My name is Artem I play online poker for 2 months, beginning from freerolls on RedStarPoker. Some days ago i received $50 no-deposit bonus on Mansion Poker from BRM. Now i play $1+$0.20 SnG tournaments (2 tables simultaneously, cause i do not have enough practise and experience, just reading articles and books on poker tournaments now). This blog is created for self-control and watching the trend of my bankroll

good job, keep it up respect bankroll management and play levels/tables where u are a winnin player
Posted by shokaku: Don't play those tourneys. $1+$0.20 means you have to pay 20% rake. That is hard to beat, even if you are a lot better than the average player.
the rules of bankroll management are "not more,than 2% of bakroll for 1 tournament", so i shuold try to keep it and level up on $100 bankroll)

True, but on iPoker you only have fair raked SnG form $5 and above. And to play $5 you should have $250...

Posted by RUS_Artem: so, that means that i should have a goal to reach the $5 buy-in as soon as possible, playing due to bankroll management))
Yep.
10% rake and 20% rake are a huge difference.
of course, but the level of players of $1 and $5 limits are different, i suppose
Not really There are allways enough unskilled players on 5$ sngs. there is not much to change in the strategy. i would suppose to play no limit with those 50$
and start to play 5$sngs when you reached 250-300$
hey there, It's nice to see that you work with your BrMl, but as ADACTA said, the rake is huge, so I wish you the luck you need to raise your Bankroll to the next level

I think you need to come up with a new plan, 20% rake is huge.. I play on PKR and depending on what I'm playing the rake is either 5% or 10% and quite often after a large session I may be down a little and then realise that without rake I would have made a profit. Beating rake is one of the hardest things when you're first trying to crack poker. Especially without any rakeback..
I'd seriously suggest maybe buying into 1c/2c cash tables or something until you build your roll to where you'd like it to be for 10% raked SNGs

Posted by RUS_Artem: so, i should play cash games now,you suppose, until i have enough bankroll for 5$ SnG?
well - maybe, obviously if you're profiting from the $1 SNGs and beating rake then I guess stick with what you're good at. But if you're alright at the cash games, then in theory you'll be making more profit by paying less rake :/
