I do the 100 buyin rule and always will. If you can't build up 100 buyins then you aren't good enough to move up anyways. Plus it helps you.

Like when you lose 13 games IN A ROW, which i did this month.
I'm pretty ashamed to admit it but i feel it'll help me get better.

I didn't think it was possible but no matter what i did it wouldn't work. If i had used a 20 buyin fule i don't know how i would have handled it... i like the 100 buy in rule

I was under the impression that plo8 variance was higher but so are the winrates.

If winrates are higher, the variance has to be lower.

I can envision a lot of situations where this doesnt hold true but it is late I could be wrong.

This is very wrong. shoving draws increases variance, but can be used very profitably

This is very true, if earnings are measured per number of tourneys. Per hour, you are right.

There is nothing wrong with taking a shot and moving down, if you have the discipline to do so.

Uh, you know we're talking about HUSNGS, right? Not cash games?

Your overall winrate is the only thing that has any impact on variance.

Shoving draws can certainly change your winrate (probably lowering it against many types of opponents, and therefore increasing variance), but if your winrate is higher, then your overall variance *has* to be lower.

with a 50 buyin rule i would NEVER go broke.

if u say u lost 13 in a row and that was the worst streak ever, then 50 buyins is obviously enough. the only reason i can see u having a 100 is for the psyhcological reasons, other than that, 100 buy-ins is OVER kill

Yeah i've thought about doing the 50.... and i do realize that i'm probably missing out on some money.

13 was by far the worst...
other than that i think 8 was the worst losing streak and i've played around 3000 hu sit n gos.

I also have no idea how soon i should move up to 100s after i play my 1000 50s... ive thought about just cashing out every month.... and then repeating that for a few months.
