Pete,

That's easy to say in theory and very hard in practice. The discipline to play very low stakes at the start to avoid risk of ruin (assuming as I said, a one shot deal) would be very, very challenging for a guy who was the skills and experience to play the much bigger games later on. Starting off with a bad run could be psychologically disasterous. So the "real" number is quite small. Similarly, if one was one of those Idiot Savants that can play 15-20 games at once, then you wouldn't have to move up so much and could just low stakes grind to the number. But the number here is similarly tiny, and PLO isn't the best game for such a thing.

I doubt there are many people here who have actually started small, won big and washed and repeated. And yes I know you are probably one of them [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
