*CROSSTHREADED IN SMALL STAKES NL*
My friend is currently playing 100NL on Partypoker (with no rakeback btw) and he thinks that 30x buyins as your bankroll is being overly cautious. I tell him that there is a high ROR involved with playing with ~10x buyins as he does but he doesn't believe me.
He says, "if you lose 30x your buyins, it either means you suck or you are having a super-long cold streak. If indeed it is a cold streak, you know that you are a better player than the people at the table and you can win the money back because cold streaks do not last forever. It is extremely difficult for a GOOD player to lose 30x their buyin in a given period."
I know that this has been discussed in several threads already but I want you guys to tell him how risky it is to be playing the way he is now.
Sorry for bothering you Zoo-ers
