Message: [QUOTE="N.D., post: 822843, member: 30036"] Girl not guy :). Also I think that lasting this long with such a small br has taught me something that a whole lot more money + gamble would never have taught me. It has taught me to have patience and self-control. Don't get me wrong, it's cool that you have $3k. But I watched a lot of people get lucky and burn through their luck while I stuck to being patient with my little bit. I guess I wanna be more like Chris Ferguson(he's one of the pros I look up to most). His first challenge is what put br management in my head in the first place. I just listened to his podcast on a loop. But it took cardschat to help me understand exactly when I should leave a table. If you look at his second challenge, it took him a long time just to hit his stride and he had a lot of bumps in the road along the way. He's one of the greatest pros of all time. I'm just an avid fan of the game + a proud amateur(and I should be proud as it just means I love playing). I really don't think I should expect an easier time of it than he had when he challenged himself to play for so little. I reckon $100 wouldn't really level the playing field in that regard. I only started the thread to get some input on what strategy I should use to get the most from what I have left. When I first joined the forum and introduced myself I made sure everyone knew my br was limited and that I wanted to learn how to manage it properly, but that I'm also not above freerolls or play money because they can be a lot of fun. Look I have my whole life to play poker. I take that back. I have my whole life to play cards, because poker isn't the only kind of card game I love playing. It's not that I don't have any gamble in me at all. I just choose when to use it. From the start I would play until I reached a goal I set for myself(in terms of winnings), and then play for a bit over that to treat myself to a tournament or game out of my reach(long term) to treat myself. So if I can get myself over this hurdle I'll do that again. Oh and don't poo-poo the reading. Some of the players here with really big br's and sound br management(so u know their br's are pretty darned big) read an absolute ton of books. The reading helps to guide any instincts or feel you have. It really can and does make you a better player. I'm playing better than I was when I joined(still not as good as I'd like to be but I'll get there). Reading helps a lot. Experience is important but so's the studying. [/QUOTE]
