Buying in short to play within roll?
Hi there.
I have recently suffered a pretty serious blow to my roll [rivered; rivered; tilt; tilt, long boring story], and dropping down a level is not really an option [I play party, and the lowest 6max stakes are $25, have no intention of playing FR]. My roll after the recent bad run is $315, pretty seriously under-rolled for NL25. WHat are your thoughts on buying in short, with say $20, or less, until my roll recovers, to compensate?

[/ QUOTE ] Not an option: - LOL [in capital letters] FTP [Self-explanatory]. - Accidentally self-excluded myself from Stars for 6 months. - Lol Pokerroom's weird software and 5 max tables. - Lol Absolute: you can't fit 4 tables on my screen, and why do they call NL50 NL25? Also kind of gross software. - Lol Everest's player-base, and slow software. - Lol UB [Self-explanatory]. - All other sites seem to have a smallish player base, and likely little game selection at the times I can play [from NZ]. So Party it is! Given this.... What are your thoughts on buying in short, with say $20, or less, until my roll recovers, to compensate?

Re: Buying in short to play within roll?
Still keen for some comments regarding whether it is a sound strategy to buy in short to maximise bankroll. I am not talking about donk-stacking here, but buying in for $18 of $20.
Any old hands have any comments around this?

if you've dropped down from 50NL on party to 25NL, i would not be convinced that you are a long term winning player. [/ QUOTE ] ? Never played at NL50 apart from a couple of one off sessions. Drop was from 500 - 315.

Re: Buying in short to play within roll?
Well playing 70-80BB or so means that you won't have to make many adjustments to be honest - I often buy in for 60BB for example whilst I gather a few reads - at 60BB it basically just means you can get your stack in vs an unknown with TPTK and still be +EV on average...
There are other sites to consider - iPoker has alot of soft players and micro tables. Another option would be learning how to short-stack at 20BB - it isn't just pushbotting and in learning how to play it, you also learn how best to play against it later in your poker career...

[/ QUOTE ] FTP isn't nearly as bad as people make it out to be on these boards [ QUOTE ] - Lol Absolute: you can't fit 4 tables on my screen, and why do they call NL50 NL25? Also kind of gross software. [/ QUOTE ] Absolute just added resizable tables. They don't call NL50 "NL25", they just allow you the option to buy in for 200BBs. You can just play NL25 and buy in for $25. You're still playing 100BBs deep.
