Re: Question for B&M pros
[ QUOTE ]
50 Big Bets for limit games, 3 max buy ins for NL, OR 500 big blinds for uncapped. [/ QUOTE ] Not a pro but a regular player and this is my general guideline for what to bring for live play as well. If I lose 50 big bets in LHE or 3 max buy-ins at 1/2NL I am done for the day.

For all those saying to pack it in after some bad beats or dropping X number of BB or buy-ins, really need to take the time to read Ace on the River... [/ QUOTE ] Yes he does say this but I would bet money that he doesn't always abide by it. I have a hard time beleiving anyone can play their A+ game down 3 buy-ins in 20 minutes also.

[/ QUOTE ] Its not something that you can refer to in absolute terms. But if you are going to play full time and have a good/great game to sit in, you need to mental where with all to play well, or you are giving up a lot of money. Good to great games, 5/10+ games, just don't happen often enough to pass them up. Frankly I think for myself and many others, this is simply the toughest aspect of the game to learn and master.

However, I'm hard pressed to find a 'tough' 5/10NL or higher game. This factor makes it easy to walk when you feel the tilt-monkey on your back. Commerce 10/20NL is my 'home' game. This may explain the plethora of bad poker players I encounter. YMMV.

[/ QUOTE ] Then you need to keep playing until you understand that not only can you do it, it should be a milestone for your development as a professional. The first time you do it you'll realize just how much better you are at that point than you are right now, when you don't even think it's possible.

Also Chopstick did you used to play at bodog 5-10NL and 5-10PLO under the same handle? If you did I used to play with you quite often. My name was mafioso.
