May sound weird but feels pretty scary, not played that much on here. But I notice I really feel it when I lose a stack, 100e just seem so much, and I think, crap, that's 5bi at 20nl. And I'm trying to feel if I'm playing scared after that, didn't feel like I was on tilt or anything wrong, but when I lost a few all ins in a row I just closed the tables.

Grrrr

If you feel it, then you aint got a big enough bankroll.

this blogpost is disappointing when i read your previous one which kinda made you look like a very sensible poker player. don't take underrolled shots like that because nothing good will ever come out of it. people are creatures of habit, so if ever by some miracle you do great doing this, you will keep moving up until poker teaches you a lesson and you lose everything. just my advice

I dont think he meant he was underrolled as such, its just that each NL50 buyin represents a larger % of his bankroll, and its messing with his head.

ye its all about the comfort you have with moving up or down.

If you watch the rest of Enlightenment you will understand. Its all about not tilting.

93% Sure!

Yeah exactly. Not everyone can play with 20 BIs. Some people need more to play better. It is a clear sign that if you loose a BI, and you really feel it, then you should increase your bankroll for the limit imo.

Don't feel like it's underrolled, playing 20nl till I had 1370e, shots at 50nl till 1000e and back to 20nl, feel like I'm in control of the bankroll side of it.

I maybe thought of it a bit wrong, like I have so many buyins on 20nl( 75), and only 25bi on 50nl. I'm gonna go down to 20nl and take next shot at 1500e instead, and move down at 1250 =]

Had a pretty rough dag, was scary being down so much, but kept playing (6hours or so today) and in the end I think I grinded back 140e or so of what i've lost, so not that nightmarish today after all, just down 2bi at 50nl =] wee
