Re: Bankroll
Preable. You've been teaching your Mother to play holdem and she's played Turbo for a while. She knows it takes 3 to make a flush possible and a pair to make a full house possible, and understands Aces with a K is a lot better than Aces with a 2.
Now she's ready for her first live game, and its going to be no limit holem. What strategy would you advise?...
Back to the post. I agree, but I've never actually seen that concept before. Buying in short is excellent advise for a beginner, who can more easily determine if he's got the best hand early (play tight), but can get all in and won't have to worry about late round big bets.
Advise your Mom to buy in short, play tight, and move he chips in when she makes something good. Or you could advise he to buy in big, get some money in the pot with her obvious best pair, and then get faced with all those awkward situations where the opponent knows what you've got.
