guinevar 0 Posted August 23, 2005 Share Posted August 23, 2005 If this session went like my sessions did today, I call down just to see the guy limped and called with 64o or better yet, j7o.Yes. Link to post Share on other sites

Probably 55 more often than either.Call, check/call.Shit happens. Unless you have a good read on him being passive and never raising KJ/QJ/JT here. Link to post Share on other sites

You're not a six max player untill you have two 250BB downswings in a month, and then a 300BB one to start the next month off, and finsish up 750BB for the two months.You haven't seen variance yet.Good luck Link to post Share on other sites

guinevar 0 Posted August 23, 2005 Share Posted August 23, 2005 censored, i know i don't have the roll for it right now, but i would love to take a shot.aseemNo.Still no.You are much too close to a recent blunder to even consider taking another shot. Keep this up and you won't be able to seriously play the lower levels, forcing you to play out of your roll to think you're using your time wisely.That's not smart. Play the one dollar games with me. If you're good enough you'll get back up there.I submit discipline and adherence to bankroll requirements are huge factors in being considered "good."Thanks. Link to post Share on other sites
Blink20 0 Posted August 23, 2005 Share Posted August 23, 2005 or still no?aseemSTill no.I have no experience with playing over my bankroll though, it might work for some people.I'm super strict with my bankroll. I was playing 25nl forever, and then playing 50 nl forever. (well partly being overly cautious with roll, and partially sucking so much b/c of tilt and such I could never move up :)Anyway. There's really no reason to play over your roll. Just grind out a million bazillion hands like crazy until you can move up without any threat to your bankroll, you play with much more confidence and ease that way, imo.

guinevar 0 Posted August 23, 2005 Share Posted August 23, 2005 From now on, whenever someone deems it appropriate to play our of their bankroll, they will see if I am on AIM and ask me if they should.If after talking to me they are not convinced, they will then pour water on their keyboard and hit their mouse with a $50 guitar belushi style. It will be much more enjoyable talking to me than losing money, and the $50 guitar will be put to its second of two uses, still costing the person in question less than 2k-12k.That is all.

Smasharoo 0 Posted August 23, 2005 Share Posted August 23, 2005 I think you should give 10/20 six max a shot, Aseem.On Party.Party 10/20.Six max....etc.Hey, they have .50/1 6 max on Party now. I imagine it's a 6 handed limp fest to every flop. One would think you could kill that for 5BB/100 EASY.If you're looking to rebuild a little with minimal riskGood luck.
