AleoMagus & Guy,

There is a story from golf. Lee Trevino was asked by a reporter during a major tournament, "How do you deal with the pressure?"

Trevino answered "Heck, this is no pressure. Pressure is playing $100 Nassau at the country club on Saturday morning with 3 guys you don't know, and $10 in your pocket."

I think all great gamblers have some similar story. And some run risk of ruin more often than others. Or maybe the great gamblers are just the ones that learned to win much more often than they lost.

The thought that floats through is that size of bankroll vs buyin is far more important to those of us who will never play at that level, because we do worry about risk of ruin.
