Something to the tune of "2+2 ATM" would be just fine by me.

If you read the threads on ROI vs. Time of day, you know that it's not wise to grind out 100 SNGs during daytime hours. No use in burning yourself out when you could probably get the same results playing 40~50 during nighttime hours.

How did you manage to throw away 1/4 your bankroll in a 1/2 game? I assume you have at the very least ~$1500 left, which would mean you lost ~$500. That's 250 big bets at 1/2. You'd have to cap every street for 20 hands in a row and LOSE THEM ALL. That's very hard to accomplish, even when drunk.

It was 1-2 NL, and it was a forum game. Average pot was well over $100.

FYP to make me feel worse

The bankroll spewing that I see in these 2+2 private games is really ridiculous. I'm not referring to you in particular but it's clear while playing and watching that a lot of 2+2ers have very serious gambling problems. Playing in a risky/dangerous fashion is all good, but simply throwing away money, which plenty of people were doing, is just embarrassing. There are many people that are simply giving away decent sized percentages of their bankrolls in these games, either from the getgo, or winning a few thousand and then simply giving it away by calling giant allins PF with stuff like 96.

I didn't see many of your hands Pasterbator btw, I just get the sense that a few people feel like because its a private, fun game with 2+2ers they have to treat their hard earned money like toilet paper.

Anyway sorry to get all high and mighty, I just think that it's ridiculous the way some people are treating that game. If you have a bankroll of 100k then fine, go for it and play like a complete random psycho (although I still think its stupid). But if you have a bankroll under 50k, theres no way someone should be spewing hundreds/ a thousand dollars by calling allins for $300 PF with total rubbish. It's not funny, its just kind of sad IMO.

If it was some random people and not 2+2ers of course this would be a "good" thing, but to see people whom are posting on this forum, pretty decent players and supposedly trying to do well at poker and build a bankroll just throwing away $ is silly.

I agree, it's one of the reasons I've yet to play in any of them.

It's true. Personally, i'm not a gambler. I dont play blackjack or any other games besides poker. I don't treat money like nothing WHEN IM SOBER. I'm very good at saving my money and controlling my bankroll. Something much have come over me last night that made me hate money. It was a brutal lesson for me, and its something i'll obviously never do again.

I've decided immediately that playing 100SNGs is the worst possible idea for me to do today, so i'm not doing that. I'm not going to tilt my bankroll away. I hope no one else does as i did last night EVER.

GL at the tables while i grind my bankroll back to normalcy.

Wait, so you are not playing 100 games now?
