Re: Taking shots at higher limits
[ QUOTE ]
I always buy in for min. 25 BBs but I always have more $ on me to top off. It's not that I have a hard time getting the buy in together just wondering what amounts some of you like to take shots with. A 40 BB buy in at lHE sounds a bit high to me but everyone has a certain amount they like I guess. Something to be said for having a larger stack in front of you as far as a bit on intimidation goes

Generally: Take a shot when you have a full buy in, bet-wise, for the next limit.
However, taking a shot with 1/2(25BBs) isn't necesarily a bad idea. You will likely learn something on that session. I did when I took a shot like that when moving from 4-8 to 10-20(quite a jump back then). It may even make your normal level seem a bit easier.
But I definitely wouldn't take a shot shortstacked. That could hinder you getting a feel for the higher level.
