Making Good Decisions

[Kurn]

No. You misunderstood or I communicated badly(probably the latter). I am saving the online bankroll for normal SNGs. When I played the rebuy, I was thinking along the lines of trying to win a seat to the $5k that way, but once I won the seat to the qualifier, I realized it was a bad use of that money. I'm not going to invest essentially 30% of my online bankroll on a longshot. That makes no sense. The correct long-term decision is to invest it where I know I'm +EV.

My live bankroll is an entirely separate thing. In fact, I don't really have a live bankroll, it's more like vacation fun money. A couple of times each year I spend some time at Foxwoods/Mohegan during tournament time and get some live play in. This year, at Mohegan, I will decide whether just to play cash games or give a $100 + $20 Step 1 MTT a shot. I can take a flyer if I feel like it, or just play 1/2 NLHE or 5/10 stud. How I use that money during my vacation has no impact on my overall online poker goals.

To be honest, if I thought about it more in January, I'd be taking week after next off and going to Foxwoods for the FPC and play in the $400 Stud/8 there. Unfortunately, I asked for the NAPC week off, so that's what I have. Can't change now.
