This is why I think limit is the way to go. To blow 3 buyins, you would really have to be running cold, or donking away. Maybe its strictly less variance in limit vs. nl but either way the mental and actual hit you can take in nl is tough.[/quote]
It started with KK getting cracked by some clown with Q7o and catching a third 7 on the turn. I should point out that I pushed with the KK, 5xBB preflop raise, on a rags flop I pushed a 1.2Xpot bet, and this clown called with his middle pair. So there is one buy-in gone, the other two were donked away before I could extract myself from the situation. First big tilt I have ever experienced. I wasn't drunk, just not in the right frame of mind.
Yeah, the mental and bankroll hit you suffer in NL is tough, but isn't that what makes the game attractive?
