Guilt...

The limit he was playing has absolutely nothing to do with being able to afford to lose the cash, especially when you are talking about a bad player who is admittedly playing WAY over his bankroll (he started with $30). You know that.

This was $5/$10 though. I've decided to go back to what used to be my personal momeymaker for a while and see how I do. I've had success as high as $15/30 (dabbled in the $30$60, but that's outside my comfort zone), but decided to move down and see how I'd do at this level again. It's weird - at first all the numbers seemed so small, but I've gotten used to them again already. $10/$20, which is lower than I was playing a few months ago, actually seem like big numbers to me now. Funny how that works.

Yeah, i am doing the same thing - getting back to basics. The system we used to call 'Moneymaker' before Chris Moneymaker stole that name. I have dropped to 3/6 short-seated for a while to regroup. So far, so good (its only been a week though). At first, the numbers seemed low to me too - but i have gotten used to them. And i have logged two winning sessions that rival my bigger sessions of 5/10. I did the same thing in NL cash games - dropped down. Same deal - i adapted to the low numbers relatively quickly.

I have to say that if you are ever running bad - there is nothing like dropping down a level or two to log a few wins and get the bankroll back in order.

I know the limit doesn't mean he could afford it...I think I said something to the effect in the post. Started with 30 at 5/10??? Jeez...

i dont think u can start with $30 at 5/10, isnt the minimum buy in $100?

He never said he started at $5/$10. He said he started the session with $30.
