Interesting concept

Had my second winning session in a row, and it was a monster. May have been easiest win ever, did all my damage in just over an hour. I am very excited to have a working bankroll, and an emergency bankroll going forward. I can definitely loosen up my calling ranges.

Interesting hand came about, with me and the super aggressive older gentleman that had a giant mound of chips, and didnt mind putting them in a pot.  He raised it up in early position for $40 from a $6 straddle two customers, I see AA and make it $140. Aggro calls. Flop coms QdQhJd and I shove all in for $400 he folds.

Now here's my question if you have conceded to playing the hand for all your chips, is it better to check and have your opponenet go all in, and call? or do you go all in?

Reverse The Curse

Played 5 more hours at Harrah's to qualify for the freeroll. Another 11 hours is $100. I feel like i should, they'll pay me $9/hr to play cards.

Anyway i broke the streak. 8 losing sessions in a row. I was actually stuck $200 and in the game for $420.... again. But I never lost focus. I still played bad, made some poor calls, made some bad folds, but I caught a heater and ended up +$260 for the session.

Good news is I ended the losing streak, and my bankroll is no longer in a nosedive. Also, there are plenty of things to work on.

Running bad or Bankroll Mis-Management?

Had a 9 hour session at Harrah's. I have now lost 8 sessions in a row. Three cash, five tournaments. Just have not been able to win that monster pot. I started out stuck for about 200 one hour into my session, eventually clawed my way back to showing a profit, but in the end finished stuck for $240.

Considering I am trying to build a bankroll on the smallest investment possible, I could consider locking up those small wins here and there. However, what if I miss out on a great game because I want to lock up a small win. Building a bankroll or not, "scared money never wins money."

I think i should consider capping my table stakes at $500 until I have an adequate bankroll. Having 100% of your bankroll on the table is not efficient bankroll management I'm sure.  That is one thing I need to be more disciplined about. There's more than one poker room in this city.
