3/6 on iPoker plays like 0.10/0.20 on FTP/Stars

No idea, I'm not of that persuasion. But I guess so.

Sorry for the bump (tho it was on page 1) - but i this thread needs to be stickied as evidence of why you usually need more than 1 buy in for any level you are playing.

Ehhhh what

I deposited £100, doubled up to £200. Sat at $2/$4, trebled up to £600.

Sat at short-handed $10/$20 then $5/$10 chasing players on my buddy-list, but didn't get any hands. At this point I was playing patiently and carefully - fold fold fold.

Sat again at $2/$4 and won another buyin, taking me briefly to £730 in my account.

Then I sat at $3/$6, lost a repulsive $1200 hand where my opponent made an unbelievable call with top pair no draw on the turn, when I had 24 outs, none of which came. That put me on tilt, and I made a rash and impulsive bluff which didnt' work and blew another $600.

If there's a moral here, it's about avoiding tilt, taking breaks, and the importance of regular cash-outs.

I lost because I tilted and raised and bluffed too much. But I also lost because I couldn't get the money out of the site, which for me always spells doom.
