Is anyone here more of a nit than this?

I have 100 buy-ins for the NL game I regularly play
and
2000 big bets for limit.

what limits do you play?

Cryptorchild · #3 10-25-2007, 08:37 PM

$1/$2 NL and $5/$10 limit.

That's not so bad. You're at 200nl which is decent money. If it was like 10nl then it's costing you money not moving up.

It is. If you're good enough to pile up 100 buy-ins... you should be eager to leave your comfort zone and go beat up on the next level!

I have 2000bb for limit too. It really depends on if you depend on poker income and how replenishable it is.

The problems I have are:

1) In my experiences 2/4 NL and 10/20 LHE seem to be more than twice as hard as 1/2 and 5/10 respectively. So unless the higher games are particularly juicy, I stay low.

2) When I first started playing poker the money meant a whole lot to me and I played overly tight. I've been playing for close to 3 years now and I've desensitized myself to money to a point. I have no problem bluffing off 2 or 3 hundred if I think it's the right play. But that's about my threshold. If the decisions are for more money than that, it affects my thinking and I don't think I always make the best +EV play.

It is my only source of income and I do have bills to pay, although not as many as most.

It's just weird. I remember when I had a 7k bankroll and I'd lose something like 400 and I would feel it. Now I have almost 21k and if I lose 400, I still feel it almost the same. That seems wrong.

Definitely nitty if you are talking live play. Multi-tabling online, not so bad.
