Re: Question about buying in...
Hmmm, your perception is uncannily accurate. I'm scared, lol.
To explain... I asked because it seems that whenever I fall a ways below the max buyin level (in my case, the $10ish mark), I tilt bad. This may be because I am converting from an almost exclusive tourney background and in tourneys as your stack gets smaller and the blinds get higher, you get increasingly desparate to make a move. To define "tilting bad" if I drop below $6 or so, it's about 3 to 1 that I will lose the rest on a bonehead classic donkey tilting play. The other 25% I suckout, lol (this is from a very small sample, so if I continue to play this way it may show that I lose much more often than 3 out of 4).
Anyway, based upon what you said, I will put myself back up to $10 anytime I drop below $9. I think that will keep me calm.
As for "not keeping track of my money." Hmm... I guess I have a ways to go on the psychological aspect. In the meantime I will try to focus on playing properly. The money will come. Any other input you have on this would be appreciated. Thanks.
