Message: [QUOTE="UberPokerFan, post: 5977099, member: 93168"] [LIST=1] [*]Recognize the pressure you can apply in a tournament is not there in cash games. Whereas you can threaten to eliminate another tournament player, in cash games people will call you because they can simply reload if they were wrong. Therefore it might take more $ to run your bluffs. It's important to watch and pick up other players' behaviors to know how much it takes to get someone to fold or at least have an idea about their calling station tendencies. [*]Keepin mind your stack can drop to 0 instantly. Due to these swings, play much lower stakes until you get a feel for how that level plays. Play low enough stake so that your bankroll has at least 30 buy-ins. (There are many opinions about how many buy-ins your bankroll should have. I've seen recommendations as high as 100+ buy-ins.) That will prevent you from playing scared and allow you to shove when the situation calls for it. Move up to the next level when you have 30 (or whatever # you're comfortable with) buy-ins for that level. [*]Don't wait to move down in stakes if you seem to be running bad. Most likely you are making mistakes and that will deplete your bankroll quickly. Set a threshhold # of buy-ins, like 20, so that if your bankroll drops to that point, you will recognize you need to move down to a lower level. Move down and get a few winning sessions until your bankroll is back to your target buy-ins for the level you left. If you continue to lose, keep dropping down and study your hands to see what is going wrong. [/LIST] [/QUOTE]
