Default Re: 10/20 v 5/10 (semi-whine)

Unless it's disposeable income I would be pretty reluctant to play 10/20 on just 500BB's.

The 500BB roll assumes that you have the stomach to handle the 200-250 down-swing when it comes.
Well, on a $10k roll I just don't have the stomach to handle a $4k-$5k drop.

So whether or not you think a 500BB downswing is possible or not...I argue that many players who have a 500BB roll will probably still be too uncomfortable with the 100BB swings to be able to continue to play the game appropriately.


This is more a psychological-bankroll argument of course.


But to also answer the question I believe as it was intended.
I also think that a 500BB down-swing at 10/20 6-max is not so impossible as to be disregarded completely (meaning that 500BB does NOT have you completely covered).
I've had enough 150BB downswings in my limited time that I get the impression that stringing together 3 or 4 of these in a row IS possible.


AS usual...it depends on your comfortability for taking risks of course.
