Re: So Am I A NIt?
 

5% is preposterous. As someone else has pointed out, anyone with 20BI would take 7:5 flips all day for their stack.

I think 10-15% is minimum for any successful poker player. I'd be surprised to see anyone go above 35% though.

Re: So Am I A NIt?
 

joey thats not entire true. if your bankroll is 10m/year with an annual income of 500k, you should be alot more conservative than if your bankroll is 100k with an annual income of 100k. if you lost a huge portion of your 10m bankroll on a flip, it would take you a very long time to recoup it. there is a huge difference between 5m and 10m, but to most people there isnt as much difference between 10m and 17m. its called utility. with a 100k roll and large income you can be more aggressive.




also david, many americans might not flip for that 7:5 deal because if they win they have to pay taxes on it and if they lose they cant deduct it because theyre not gamblers. i know, huge technicality. why did i bother.

David's question is boring. I've got a better one:

A hot but slightly crazy young woman asks you to teach her to play poker. If you take up her challenge, you have a 100-1 chance that you'll SIIHP.

a.) How many hours of your valuable time do you spend on this before deciding that it's -EV?
b.) How many 2+2 readers would spend even more time than Sklansky pursuing this goal?

Re: So Am I A NIt?
 

I'd risk 30% of my bankroll, but one of the conditions would be that the flip was in extra slow motion (taking 1-2 weeks to complete), so I could say "meh...I just had one of your ordinary 7.5 buyin downswings" if I lost.
Besides, the flip is worth like (money risked)*(1.4) sklansky $s anyway.
w00t.
For added insurance, I'd probably get Mike Matusow to bet against me. If I lose, at least I could exclaim that the coin was rigged (the ability to do so is like the highest honor possible).
