Re: Bankroll fluctations
I think having a short bankroll affects most people's play. That's one reason you see them blowing up sometimes when they get drawn out on instead of just letting it pass by, even though they know better. They NEED that money and/or it HURTS to lose it.
I've often played with a short bankroll too, like many. But I've taken enough gigantic swings that I'm not even comfortable with 300 or 350 BB, truly. Without at least 500 BB, I'm not playing my optimal game.
I'm playing in very loose games now, and a swing of 50 or 100 BB one way or the other in a day is fairly ordinary. You can't divide that into 300 too many times. For people in loose games especially, I think 300 may be way too little. Not only can they go through it, but they can cut deeply into it often enough to really fray their nerves.
