Today's BankRoll = $640 (Not bad for 84 points investment ... hehehe)

Note : I didn't play on PStars since I came back from WSOP ... but I'm planning to build that up ... and up!!

I should put this on a blog I guest ....

I wasn't taking any of that personally...

Is there something or anything TO take personally in there? Weird.

[batgirl218]

not to my knowledge....

Harsea: Well done. It looks like you took a $3.30 ticket which I am assuming was your entire roll at the time and entered a rebuy/add on game with nothing to rebuy/add on with? You can (at least I think you can, you used to...) take a tournament ticket and sell it back to a website or possibly even stars its self for like 85-90 cents on the dollar. I dunno I think it would have made more sense to play some lower stakes sngs. The .25 90 man 2k starting stacks are filled with fish who can't play you can cash quite consistantly there.

I dunno, just seems like the $3.30 rebuy was reckless for bankroll management purposes.

Just sayin'

Congratulations, RC!!! Well done!!!

Nice job! I would have definitely been apprehensive playing a rebuy on my whole roll, but it worked for you! Actually 4/8 of your games were the same $3.30 rebuy so that probably is your comfort zone.
