Default Re: Getting Ready for the Weekend (NL CASINO GAME)

If you believe you are the best player, you should definitaly buy in with a full stack. It's not impossible, but it is more difficult to have a great edge in skill when you're a very short stack and have only so many moves.

To be honest, I would reconsider playing this weekend if you're only playing on one bullet. The psychological effect that having only what's in front of you to play with can really mess up how you play. I did this when I first started out in the casino, and many of my plays were made while I thought, "darn, I don't want to go broke, so I'll do the safe thing" and then I would end up missing a great spot that I could have made a lot of money, if I was willing to risk going broke.

So I would caution you to rethink your plan of going with only one full buyin. I would not buy in short to a game in which I felt I had an edge in skill; I don't think many of the other players here would either. I would go with at least 400-500, perhaps 600. It may help you keep a level head in situations where you may want to risk it all, but wouldn't if you only had a shallow pocket.
