ZOMG COLTS VS PATRIOTS I CAN BARELY CONTAIN MYSELF...

If Marvin Harrison plays, the patriots will fall for sure!

Good game.

Is it just me, or are there really bad PI calls against the Pats every time they meet the colts?

The second one on Hobbs was ridiculous and the one on Moss was atrocious.

Reminds me of the one last year which was pretty bad late in the NFC championship game.

None of these were as bad as the calls a few years ago in the Denver vs Patriots playoff game, or in the Seattle superbowl a few years ago.

Ummm...

ok.

Do what works for you then.

duh.

I've abandoned the 10 buy-in rule through $50s and $100s anyway. I didn't step up to $50s until I have like 13 or 14 buyins, and didn't step up to $100s this most recent time until I had like 18 buyins. I stayed until I dropped down to 10, but I didn't start there. Next time into the $100s, I'll probably start with 15.

But seriously, the psychology of it all outweighs any possible statistical effect or loss of value. If you feel you're playing too thin, then you will almost certainly play worse than you would otherwise.

What works for me doesn't necessarily work for you.

dboy, I am sure you know what a -13 roi graph looks like.

TNixon: I don't know, I want to keep the faith. Even you stated that there was a 5% ror on it.

I AM able to stay calm. I was down to my last 15 dollars three days ago, ran it up to a pretty good clip, moved up, then all hell broke loose on a 20 bi downer. I feel like nothing works.

Ugh, I may as well stick with a 1000 bi roll.

The point of the BR strategy he talks about is to move up and down quickly. You should be moving down every time you're down a few buyins at the level... and so on. Weighting your br strategy as really deep when you get down to the bottom (5s and 10s) would be best imo. That way if you really are playing like [censored] you have almost no chance of going broke long term (as long as you fix tilt/leaks). Dropping 20 bi at one level (not sure if this is the case) should be impossible unless you're at 5s.

A 20 bi downer should be rare enough, especially at low levels, that there almost *has* to be something else going on. It'll happen occasionally, for sure, but shouldn't really be a common occurence.

There's likely a very prominent "running bad" component, but when that happens, it's definitely worth taking a few days and just looking over hand histories. When I did the same thing after my last huge downswing (and it was more than 20BI, it was more like 40 or 50, dropping down through *so* many levels 10BI at a time, all the way from $220s to $20s and even eventually $5s), I found lots of really sick beats and coolers, just a huge collection of the most disgusting [censored], that made me want to puke even watching replays of it, but I also found far more stupidity and tiltedness on my part than I expected to. Not saying that's the case for you, but it definitely was for me.

BTW, the potential value you lose for waiting even for 20 buyins is WAY more than 5%. It's more like 100%, or 150%. It really is that disgusting.

But like I said, if it's not working, then you have to either figure out why (maybe your win % is just low enough overall that your variance will be sick-high, I dunno), or you have to try something else.

Beating your head against a wall is way more -EV than waiting too long to move up is. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
