APAT Asks The Question #1
jjandellis:
I play online and live cash mainly to build the bankroll. Tourneys are just a bit of fun, bit of a punt really.
Everything comes out of my bankroll and exercise strict BRM. Sometimes way too strict. I can be tight, so decide to sell % as don"t like taking chunks out for tourneys. Usually sell 30%.
My new years resolution was to play satellites. I"m sooo lazy on playing them, but tbh they"re not really worth wasting hourly rate on. Usually quicker to spin the required amount up in cash - plus its cheaper/more effective to pay for own hotels rather than some lavish package deal being played for.

Interesting approach Lee. If you don"t mind me asking, what"s the max % of your bankroll that you would use to enter a live tourney ? Or is it a case of only playing that tourney if you have generated the funds playing cash (so, setting yourself a target to hit in a certain time) ?

Dave, I am tempted to add another category just for you. But then again, maybe it would get a lot more votes and it"s just people aren"t as honest as you about it ;)

Although I should I have never really thought about live tournaments in bankroll terms. However being from Yorkshire I am unlikely to play in too many events that I can"t really afford as I have an in built spending control mechanism (ie: I am a nit).
It"s hard to say, over the years I"ve played £5 tournaments up to £2k tournaments and generally I would "flick it in" for any tournament up to around the £200 mark on my own money (without backing/sats) but I have been pretty lucky in that I started winning pretty much from day 1 so never really feel like I am behind.
For events I really want to play I would try and qualify online of the sats are worth playing (DTD springs to mind with GTE"s/overlay) but would never travel to play a live sat as it would then be a fait accompli that I would play the event anyway, having travelled there - plus I find live sats a pretty tedious way of sending my existence. I have also sold action in the past for events outside my bankroll that I really want to play but where I feel I can justify that I am worth backing at a fair price, usually to people I know quite well.
Live poker is more a social "treat" for me these days as I can"t play as often as I used to, so I tend to pick decent tournaments that won"t last more than 2/3 days but are "worth playing" and very much worth winning. So it is usually a mixture of social/backing/online sats, as long as the sats are value.
