Tib, I don't think he meant to do it if your entire roll only consisted of $100. They way I understand it, it's more like they way some folks are playing the S&G's these days where they play one at a starting level, if they win they play one at the next level up. If they win that one, the move up to the next level but if they only finish 2nd or 3rd they play another one at the same level and so on and so on. I know that wasn't really a complete thought there but I think you can get the gist of what I'm trying to say.

As far as doing it to try and build a BR really fast, well, I think it would also show you just where you are skill wise as well as you will only advance just so far before you aren't able to double up anymore. I think this might be handy for someone who plays live poker but is new to online poker and vice versa.

I need to do something like this just to get my feet wet at $200 and above.

But it's not a bankroll management strategy, more of a bankroll risking strategy.

If your starting bankroll matters to you, you should not risk it in this way.

If it doesn't, then obviously either you're not serious about poker, or else your real bankroll (what you can commit to poker) is much greater than $100. What is your real bankroll? $500? $1000? Whatever it is, commit it and then play normally.

Actually, this is "willing to go broke" but with training wheels.

lol training wheels indeed----

1st step is done---50 NL---100 now and took 30 or 40 minutes...forgot how bad party was----on to the next step----

wish it was always this EZ---

100NL---picked up a stack quickly---10 mins??

off i go to 200 land---kinda fun this way!!!!

I have to admit, there's part of this that makes no sense.

And that's when people say things like "If you lose it, down the line, you're not out 10k, but $100."

This is simply not true.

That's like saying because I started my poker bankroll with $500, that therefore if I lost what I've built that up to, it is just losing $500.

Once you have the money you can cashout and have it.
So if you ran it up to $4k and then lost it, you lost $4k.

Now that doesn't mean this isn't an interesting idea, or an acceptable risk to take, but just be clear about its justifications.

It's just a fun experiment shobute---relax....

200 NL has turned into 300----gettin tired tho--I will pick it up again tomorow---

well-i wasnt that tired-

Im in the 400 NL nw-SHITTTTTTTTTTT
