I play slightly above my bankroll every day. I play 3 tables of my usual 6max game, and then one step higher in a full game. It's been going well so far this year but I don't have many hands yet.

I can not go broke playing above my BR because when I take shots I have a stop loss at my higher limit.

Why not mix a non-poker game in with that instead, seems safer to me.

I took a terrible downswing at my normal game, and had 2k left in my bankroll. I brought it with me to the one hundo/two hundo game and was dealt bullets the very first hand. Amazingly, one guy had cowboys and another ladies, and we all made a diamond flush. I tripled my BR.

Everyone should try this. Especially at my five-ten table.

I don't really have a full 20+ buy-ins all the time. I guess I play above my bankroll most of the time. Or I just have a different rule for bankroll.

(Or I just run really well and have managed to avoid busting through total luckboxing)

non-poker games are usually hard to beat because the rake is higher

Non-poker games don't have a rake... That's exactly why some of them are beatable.

they dont have a rake if youre only playing with close friends. but most casinos, real and underground all charge rake.

What? There's no rake on roulette for example. I don't understand what you mean.

Edit: And why have you responded to like every single one of my posts? I'm confused.

roulette isnt a card game. i was talking about non-poker games like omaha and stud.
