Message: [QUOTE="Four Dogs, post: 645510, member: 2668"] GL Ronald'. I look forward to following your progress. CF's accomplishment took alot of time and discipline. It's not for everyone and even he had to make several go's at it. I read in one of his articles that once he reached $15 he knew that based on his strategy and playing style he would never go broke. Imagine that kind of confidene with just $15. I'm sure you've read his rules for bankroll management. [LIST] [*]Never buy into a cash game or a Sit & Go with more than 5 percent of your total bankroll (there is an exception for the lowest limits: You're allowed to buy into any game with a buy-in of $2.50 or less). [*]Never buy into a multi-table tournament for more than 2 percent of my total bankroll but you are allowed to buy into any multi-table tournament that costs $1. [*]If at any time during a No-Limit or Pot-Limit cash-game session the money on the table represents more than 10 percent your total bankroll, you must leave the game when the blinds reach you.[/LIST]If you've read my Chris Ferguson Profile you probably have a pretty good idea of how he plays, but here's a few tips that I've picked up in the over 1400 hands I've collected. [LIST] [*]NEVER limp first in. ALWAYS open raise. If a hand is worth playing it's worth raising with. There's an obvious pot odds exception for the blinds. [*]NEVER cold call a raise. Fold or re-raise. Funny, Chris SAYS that he'll cold call a raise with a hand like AQ or AJ from the button, but I'm yet to see it happen. [*]DON'T play suited connectors from early position, even if you are opening the pot. EP = AJ or better. [*]DON'T play any pairs worse than 88 from EP or 66 from the button. [*]Look for favorable stealing opportunities, particularly from the button and small blind, but don't get carried away. [*]If you're VP$IP > 20% you're probably playing too loose. Obviously that stat is card dependent and could be higher or lower in any one session.[/LIST]Good luck. [/QUOTE]
