My Dilemma - Bankroll Related.

[BlibbityBlabbity]

WHAT??

So a complete stanger to the game should just sit with a table full of seasoned pros "because they have the money to cover the losses" they WILL have?

IF you are a solid player THEN you just take into account your bankroll to determine what limit you play (along with other factors such as being able to judge yourself back down if you are getting hammered before you go broke).
If you don't know how to play you HAVE to learn at a reasonable level before moving up too high.

Now, TP has a point that your wayward Dr. should not start at .25/.50 limit. Key being reasonable level for what you are comfortable with. I suppose there are millionaires out there who could give a shit less if they take a $10,000 beatingevery night but that is not the same as someone who wants to build a bankroll (regardless of the limit) and learn the game.
