Short stack cash game strategy – bankroll project
Sunday, August 17th, 2008 | Mark | Poker Articles, Poker Bankroll Building, Poker Projects
I bet you have been waiting in great anticipation for my next short stack strategy update. I have been purposely waiting until I hit the 50 session hours mark so I could compare my short stack strategy results to my ealier regular cash game project.
Here’s a quick summary
- 50,45 session hours played
- Bankroll high: +42,56$
- Bankroll low: -28,9$
- Largest losing session: -13,04$
- Largest winning session: 23,15$
- End result: +25,75$
Short stack strategy project:
- 50 session hours played
- Bankroll high: +78$
- Bankroll low: -6,22$
- Largest losing session: -36,7$
- Largest winning session: 36,22$
- End result after 50 hours: +49$
If there is one conclusion I can make on my limited statistics it is that following the short stack strategy probably results in larger swings in your bankroll. Having said that it automatically follows – in my case at least – that the short stack strategy approach is simply more fun. I dislike the long grinding sessions…it’s simply too boring for me. I also like the simplicity of the short stack strategy. You will either be folding or putting it all out there.
I have also been playing quite a few tournaments lately to practice some “real” poker. I have had very limited success which has meant a reduction in my tournament bankroll from 300$ to 200$. I am seriously considering cashing out this bankroll because I would hate to lose it all.
I will leave you with an updated graph over my short stack strategy project. There are some big swings in there:-)
