there is something to be said for having a game (like 2/4) where you can play and go robusto and if it doesn't work out you have a lower stake (1/2) that you can print bills at anytime.

How much longer you gonna play today Melon?

When I start out on a huge DS, I usually end up losing a lot more by the end of the day. Intersted to know how your rollercoaster ride ends up today.

Would be a hell of a story/graph if you can pull back to breakeven. GL

when i was a 2/4 reg in january at full tilt, i had enough poker discipline that i was playing 5k+ hands a day every day, and the swings were sick. Several times during that month i would run like -8 buyins during a session and end up by the time it was over.

[GrandMelon]

I might play all night since I dont have class till 1pm tomorrow.

Update: 3k hands -$2.9k
