[X] Degenerate + Bankroll Management = ...
CrizzyConnor:
So I ended up jumping back on the two tables this guy was playing at for an extra 15 minutes after I wrote the last update and left with another buy in and the BR @ $291.37. This guy was absolutely great for the game, I wasn"t always directly getting my chips from him a lot of the time as the rest of the table was getting annoyed with him winning pots with trash and they all seemed to open up their ranges to any two cards. I did the oppossite and just nitted up. He was juicing EVERY pot pre-flop potting the minute it came to him EVERY time. It was great when you hit and won, when you lost it was a bigger loss too but I"m willing to take that risk. The other great thing was despite juicing pre-flop the tables we happened to be on were quite passive post-flop which helped scoop up some extra chips. This guy was on again today and I"m hoping he"s a regular around here. I would be willing to play in any game this guy is juicing with my current roll upto $0.25/0.50. He seems to like the same stakes though as he"s playing them again today which is probably good for my bankroll management :D
I just had a quick couple of questions for any of you cash game players out there who may be reading. I"m not much of a cash game player and have always mainly played MTT"s but I want to start throwing some cash game sessions into the mix. My problem with cash games is I never know when to quit mainly. It"s going to be PLO cash I"m playing which is swingy by nature, with this in mind and my current bankroll (buying in for 100bbs deep @ $5 a time) is there a general rule as far as the # of buy ins you should quit at when you"re down as a stop-loss? The same question when you"re ahead, is there ever a time you should quit while ahead if you still feel good about playing, or just play until you feel you"re not playing optimally? My main question is the stop loss because when I"m down in a game that I think is juicy and I can win from in the long term, even if I"m running horribly in the session and losing buy in after buy in getting outdrawn with trash I"ll stay around which is probably not good. Any advice anyone may have is appreciated.

You"d be more than welcome to juice them up some more ;) i"m currently up another $12 in the cash games with him, took a quick break for dinner but back on for a little bit, on one of his tables now and on the list for another two... Probably just jinxed myself though, cue the 10 buy in downswing :D
CrizzyConnor:
There"s one buy in away already. A4A6 double suited - I pot, the juicer re-pots as expected. One flat caller and I decide to re-pot again to try get the pot heads up with juicers atc but get two flat calls. Board runs 357 rainbow. IT"S A BINGO!!! Or not. The guy who flat called twice out of position pushes and I snap call. He has aces too with a 5 and a 9. Two spades in his hand too and the turn and river are of course runner runner spade...
EDIT: Got it back with interest across three seperate medium sized pots, right no more updates until end of session.

I was up another $4 at one point in the cash game until a hand just before I ended session,
happy with positive numbers on the roll anyway and finally getting back over the $300 mark.
