Reading the intro to SS today and saw Doyle mention that you should have atlest $2500 for a 5/10NL game. Am I totally miunderstanding this or was this really old BR management?

It was tighter games back in the day. Tighter games=less variance for good players. Thats my guess anyhow.

Live NL games often play bigger. That's still the case today. Plus Doyle had a wild style and it was usually to his benefit to have the table covered.

See this is where i may have read it wrong. (although i reread it when I saw it). He was talking about money management almost like it was his bankroll. Sitting with 2500 makes a lot of sense to me tho.

In live games, where you have an edge on your opponents, obviously the deeper stack is better. I've heard 5/10 live games play much more like 10/20 for this reason.

mmmmm, uncapped buyins.

I'm probably gonna lose half my BR playing uncapped 25/50 in the near future. Or it will grow really fast

But yea, I think he's referring to how much you should sit with not your BR

playing 2/5 I haven't found any rooms that let you get a buyin significantly over 100BB's. (I never play less than 100) and from reading these forums, it seems like a lot of people have had a hard time finding over 50.

At Caesar's in Vegas, the buy-in for 1/2 was min $100, max $500. I usually just bought in for whatever let me cover most of the players (typically $300). The buy-in for 2/5 and above was uncapped.

I should have played at cesar's when i went.

My normal haunt, Caesar's Indiana, has 300 max for the 1/2.
I've played in the extremes this month.

Chumash, California has a 1/2 with $50 max! (They give you all white.)
2/5 at Chumash and the Commerce has a $100 max.
Binions 1/2 is uncapped. (Woo-hoo!)

the game also looks like half the people are crack addicts too. My wife thought binion's was the skeeziest place we went to in Vegas. I personally was just suprised at how small it was

Those are horrible buy in amounts for those limits, how retarded.
