Well if you don't have any back up and you loose those 500$ you can't continue.The first sessions could be failure, even when you use Kelly Cri. you can still burn your entire bankroll before the percentages start working for you, right ?
That's why I don't believe there is a future if you start with bad sessions (and no back up in case you loose your entire bankroll).
You actually need a good cash to start...sounds impossible to start with 3 digit sum.
Rub,
Find a $5min table, buy in for $200 and try your skills. If you last for 1/2 an hour or all day at least you will get some live play in to see where your weaknesses are.
Occasionally I play $50 HL, my first buy in is for $300. The PB knows me a bit too well, watches my play, and knows I'll put more money out when the times right. Sometimes that 300 becomes $2,500 in a few shoes so I take my chips and walk, there are times when I lost 10 hands in arow and called it quits for a while, while other times I have to go down 5g before coming back to even. Then at other times the inevitable happens and I left my session limit at the store. Dont cry over spilled milk, its all part of the game.
Rub--
1) If your playing 6d or 8, forget that 1-3 spread you wrote in the first post, it won't work if your not wonging. Use a simple spread going out a min of 1-8, but 1-12 is better.
2) If you find yourself up 50-100 bucks on your 200 buy in, take a break. Unless your really disiplined you'll get cocky because your up a few bucks and end up giving it all back.
