if you've build up the 20k with poker it's kind of nitty, unless your playing for a living..

what's your winrate at 200NL?

Re: Is anyone here more of a nit than this?
 

The problems I have are:

1) In my experiences 2/4 NL and 10/20 LHE seem to be more than twice as hard as 1/2 and 5/10 respectively. So unless the higher games are particularly juicy, I stay low.

2) When I first started playing poker the money meant a whole lot to me and I played overly tight. I've been playing for close to 3 years now and I've desensitized myself to money to a point. I have no problem bluffing off 2 or 3 hundred if I think it's the right play. But that's about my threshold. If the decisions are for more money than that, it affects my thinking and I don't think I always make the best +EV play.

It is my only source of income and I do have bills to pay, although not as many as most.

It's just weird. I remember when I had a 7k bankroll and I'd lose something like 400 and I would feel it. Now I have almost 21k and if I lose 400, I still feel it almost the same. That seems wrong.

Yeah, I've built all from poker. My winrate at 200NL is 5.43bb/100.

I may have you beat, still playing 1/2 with 20+K since I can't seem to beat 2/4 (at least not by much) and higher yet I can beat 1/2 for 6ptbb/100 over 100+k hands.

I have tried to move up every month though, just keep getting frustrated with 10k hands that's breakeven or slightly winning/closing, I move back down to actually win something.

I think there are a lot of people in your situation. NL 100 approaches $80/hr for me and NL200 is slightly more, and I'm content enough to grind it out until I get a real job. Same bankroll situation.

Is that $20,000 (100 BIs OR 2000 bbs) or $40,000 (100BIs AND 2000bbs). Either way pretty nitty but $40,000 would be insane

I have a 64K bankroll and I play NL100 for a living.

i made a [censored] of money in 5/10 nl in the last 2 years before neteller went to crap
I was never a great player, but Ive always been displined and had great game selection. I don't lie to myself and think I can beat high stakes games. I still play a little 5/10 when i see a good table but usually play 1/2 or 2/4 even though I'm rolled for 25/50

Definitely nitty if you are talking live play. Multi-tabling online, not so bad.
