What kind of people are the LAG's in games such as 10/20 and above? Playing down at the micros, I can assume that most are new to the game, or don't really care that much about the money but just enjoy playing, never read anything about strategy and just make it up as they go etc.

When you get to a level like 10/20 or higher, it's tough for me to believe that people just don't care about the money and want to have fun. That is a serious amount of money they are playing with, and they have to realize they are losing it. You said yourself they have decent reading skills, and play alright post flop, so they have to have some knowledge of the game.

So what kind of people actually make up the "bad players" in the higher limits?

LAGs that ran hot/ran over the lower limit games.

This happens often enough to keep a good supply of them up there? I would expect they would go broke pretty fast.

nah, they catch on me all the time, which keeps them staked.

Meh, I have 30k for the game. I won't step foot into the 20 again until I have 40k.

Wait, ... are you guy's 100% pro, and could not restart if you busted?


Personally, I keep 500 BB's and feel that's plenty. While I know it's possible to go on a 500 BB downswing, I also know that it's extremely unlikely. Further, after a 300BB downswing, I'd probably drop down to 5/10 to rebuild for a bit.

It's my feeling that a 500 BB downswing is not simply bad luck, but also bad play.

Re: Preparing for the $10/$20
 

I have over 20k for this game and wouldn't feel comfortable w/much less than 15. For me it has less to do with being able to take a bad swing and more to do with not being able to handle losing a significant portion of my bankroll in a bad swing. I've had a couple 4k swings and I think I would have wanted to drop down if it meant that I lost 1/3 of my br.

The concept of a bankroll doesn't really apply unless you are pro or it is unreplenishable.
