Default Re: Your ENTIRE bankroll on AA...do you do it?

[ QUOTE ]
I have been playing poker as my only source of income for 47 weeks, I have a net win of 162K. In that time I've bought a house and everything that goes with a new house. So I would say my liquid poker br is 80K in which I would eagerly risk 70K. If I lost I would still play in my 15-30 thru 30-60 shorthanded games. Since I've never had a month of less than 5.2K profit, I think I would be fine.

So why not find a 2/4 or 3/6 "fish" where you think your odds of doubling before busting are about 4-1 and play them HU with the 70k? Why are you limiting yourself to 30/60 with an 80k roll where there are most certainly 4-1 shots on your doubling your money available at higher stakes?

As I posted earlier, there seems to be real disconnect between the size of the banrolls that people keep for their play (in relative BB's) and the risk levels they claim they'd so eagerly embrace (as illustrated with this hypothetical AA proposition). The two philosophies just don't jive IMO.
