NL Stack:Bankroll Issue
Due to the cyclical nature of software development scheduling, I have once again found my poker roll relatively short compared to the stakes I play. This is a result of not having put many hours in recently at the cardroom, since I've been practically living at the office. In addition, I have the bad habit of using poker money to pay for pretty much anything besides bills.
Let's say at the beginning of my first session back, I have a roll of 800BB for a game with a min/max buy-in of 40BB. I consider this slightly risky with respect to going broke, but not nearly enough to worry me. Does anyone disagree?
Next, I tend to play reasonably long sessions if the game is good. This can obviously result in some pretty monstrous stacks in the LA gambool games. I have personally run up a 500BB stack in three hours, and a 800BB stack in a twelve hour session (Not brags, just points of reference). I have witnessed bigger stacks than this in these games, and heard of some crazy stuff. The point I'm trying to get at here is how do I deal with the case of accumulating one of these larger stacks, when it accounts for such a large amount of my bankroll?
Does anyone have any good guideline on a stack:bankroll ratio that shouldn't be exceeded?
Would anyone consider selling action in a cash game if they got too deep in order to reduce variance? Has anyone had experience with this?
Just a few other notes: I consider myself a much better deepstack player than most everyone else in these games, due to the simple fact that they probably haven't played anything but these 40BB games. I also really enjoy the deepstack aspect of poker, and dislike having to leave a good game with such a big edge.
Thanks.
