Default Re: EV implications when building your bankroll

[ QUOTE ]
If you have a 50.00 bankroll and play a .10/.25 NL game, how can you possibly justify chasing a positive EV hand if if after betting 1/5 of your bankroll, you miss your draw and have NO realistic hope of buying the pot because a player with even second pair will look you up

[/ QUOTE ]
What do you suggest you do instead? If you're not going to risk your money when the odds are in your favor, when do you risk it? There is no such thing as a zero risk bet. Unless of course you have the nuts on the river.

The truth is, there is no good solution to your problem. Being on a short bankroll without the option to move down in limits sucks. There is no sure way to win in this situation. But the reality is that you are gonna have to make a bet sooner or later. You may as well do it when you have positive expectation.

Why are all these questions being asked? There is no reason for ALL of them if you play limits where you can't lose your roll on a few bad swings. If you're playing at that level, all the advice in the world won't save you from your self destructive drive.

Fold Preflop.
