BUSTO?!?!!?

i saw him short stacking 25-50 a couple times...what's up with that?

[/ QUOTE ]


lol at even the thought of james being broke

[/ QUOTE ]
yea i figured that probably wasn't the case. just weird that he'd ever be short stacking a game..

[/ QUOTE ]

haha, missed this thread.

(i'm not broke)

I just think that 5/10 is more profitable for the type of style I play than 25 50. Also, since so few games go above 5/10 that I play, the money seems to have more of a psychological effect on me, and I have made some bad plays in the last few months as a result I think. I'm still up sizeably in those bigger games, but it's depressing when there is 1 good game, you lose 10k, and the game gets bad. Trying to grind it back at 5/10 and 10 20 sucks.

WRT shortstacking, it's a good way to make a small amt of money while still getting a feel for the texture of the game, seeing what hands are shown down, build up a database on the players, etc.
