Re: How bad were you crushing the 11\'s when you moved up to the 22s?
[ QUOTE ]
the problem is that if you start with a million dollars and you stink you lose it all. ? citanul [/ QUOTE ] You should think of the size of a loss relative to your income/fortune. If you are a losing player you will lose it all anyway. You can argue that a billionair wanting to spend $1million on online poker would last longer at lower stakes, but he wouldn't have as much fun. So basicly your saying a losing millionaire should play as low as possible? I say they shouldn't play at all, but if they want to play why play stakes where the money doesn't matter to them?

If you want to use this formulaic approach to BR management, start at a level you are comfortable playing at with a bankroll that is adequate for that level. A similar approach would be what curtains did with his 8 tabling. He didn't look at how big his bankroll was to begin with but rather his profit. When his profit reached X he moved up and would move down if he had a bad run at the next level.

Re: How bad were you crushing the 11\'s when you moved up to the 22s?
[ QUOTE ]
well a million to a billionaire would be meaningless, but you get the idea =) Point is if you can afford it, why don't play it? [/ QUOTE ] because many people's utility function of entertainment would not increase linearly or exponentially with amount of money paid for. ie, a very possible millionaire or billionaire would have the same amount of fun playing a $10 as a $200 or a $1000, in part because the buyins are not so diverse for him. so, in other words, it is in part because "if you have a million to blow because you have lots more, why would you blow it?" or, "playing for high stakes does not necessarilly increase excitement/enjoyment." citanul

Play them all day or whatever. On the following day, see what your running total is from playing sit and gos. If you are up $200 (10x the buyin of the next level), then replcae one of your $11s with a $22. Keep doing this until youve won I guess $1600 (80x the buyin of the next level) at which point youll be playing 8 $22s and then you repeat for every level.. [/ QUOTE ]

Re: How bad were you crushing the 11\'s when you moved up to the 22s?
This may be a little off topic, but I don't think you can move up to new levels until you are totally comfortable with the amount of money in play. For example, I currently have a 35 percent ROI in the 11's, and I do very well in the 22's, but I can't handle the bad beats as well at the 22's. For example, when someone sucks out terribly on me at the twenty two's, it throws my game off badly because I think to myself "that luckbox just cost me a hundred bucks". Until I can learn to shake off the beats like I can at the 11's, I won't be as good of a player and thus I can't move up.
Thoughts? Sigma
