Re: How bad is variance?

Most of this has been covered but I will say, if you're aware enough to know that 2+2 exists then you're good enough not to want to buy into NL25 games shortstacked.

This is a good point. I see a lot of people trying this strategy and any good player exploits its short commings. BUT, I don't too many players apply the pressure. THe Short commings like with a $5 buy-in it is hard to call a $2 raise with a hand that needs help, like KQs-AQ. My dad taught me if you can't afford to leave a good tip, you can't afford to go out to eat. If you can't afford the buy-in, can't afford to "play". If you are playing a table with 1/5 the buy-in you are not playing poker, your playing bingo......Buy-in does not need to be the max of the table but it should be at least the average stack at the table when you sit down.
