Message: [QUOTE="jhdocholliday, post: 1721404, member: 79945"] [b]Mountain from a molehill[/b] Sorry I got off subject in your thread earlier, but i needed to. This is a great question, that i'm sure many people have. And has had a lot of good responses. One thing you might need to do for good output is add some more specifics to your question? you just say 'build a bankroll'. build it to what? i'm sure many people start with $50 to $100, and a decent number probably 'build' or increase it, but to what extent? double, triple, exponential? with what timeframe? and what other inputs, primarily TIME, with that time broken down at least into playing the game and studying the game.... as i think someone else responded, it is often more useful to measure in terms of a percentage increase than an absolute increase, but i think also pretty important to make some correlations between any results with the time input. I have had positive results myself, having gone from 10 to 300, but am certainly no expert, as i don't think i've had sufficiently positive results to answer your question, as someone like leatherass might. To get away from theory to something you might find more useful though, i'll add one thing. Online, multitabling is also a real factor, and multiplier. Now of course you don't want to multiply failure, but if you can multiply success, rinse lather and repeat! Some of these guys have extremely sharp, and quick minds! I've read about guys multitabling 18-24 tables, or more; some may only be limited by the poker room's limit. If you haven't already read the story, you might also google Bertrand "elky" grospellier, to read about his Guiness World Record for SNGs. After reading some of the news stories, i'm not clear on all the details, but i read there were 62 SNGs involved in a one hour space, with periods of at least 40 going at once. Because of the volume record being attempted, the requirement was only that he show ANY profit. But if the guy can do that making decisions that quickly, imagine what he can do, and has done, playing at a more leisurely volume, which for him might be 10-20 tables, lol. Interestly enough, I know about him because I was a huge fan and player of the game Starcraft, from many years ago. That game was played professionally in South Korea, and was even a televised sport there. Elky was one of those professional players hailing from France, and only later transitioned to poker after already achieving gaming success at Starcraft. Starcraft tools were developed which measured a players "actions per minute" at their computer, while playing the game. This statistic was important. I remember trying my hardest to play as fast as possible, and mine might be 60, maybe 70. Most of the professionals stats were at least double with some able to achieve rates above 200, altho this rate usually wasn't prolonged but over a shorter time period. Either way, to this day, having never seen it in person, I have trouble fathoming how players could take actions at this speed. The actions are not only limited to typing because it includes clicking with the mouse, but you still only have 2 hands, if you put one on the mouse, you've only got one left to type with. On top of that the visible game area (including actionable space) was always larger than the screen, so players had to navigate where and what they were seeing as well as doing, often taking actions in multiple places nearly simultaneously. The point is, it is partly mad skills like these that allowed Elky to achieve success gaming in poker as well. You can imagine if you can PLAY WELL at 24 tables at once, then you will probably build your bankroll faster. I don't know about you, but I also have trouble figuring out how guys do this. But it might be an aspect you want to explore in your quest to become the next Tom Dwan. And if you work it out and become the next online phenom, and I helped, please remember me :) [/QUOTE]
