You must feel really good being a 2/4 limit player on a $1200 bankroll!!! It must feel good being the authority on bankroll management

I did not mention in my original post how much I have in my poker bankroll. How much I have is nobody's business. I will tell you that I am comfortably funded for the level of games that I play.

The main thing is that I am tired of posters complaining they are running bad and then finding out they are playing with a bankroll of 10 buyins.

Playing short causes all kinds of problems. Playing timid, buying in short, unnecessary ulcers. If there was ever a game invented that punished timid play, it's no limit hold'em.

So Isura take a chill pill. I am right, you know I am right, and I think a direct, no bs response to Orange's post was the best way to get through to him.

your advice to a person playing 25NL underrolled was to switch to limit. You also called him a bad player, when he's just practicing bad bankroll management. If that was right, i'd hate to see a post where you're wrong.

Orange - after thinking about it, i think you need to reconsider this sequence of events:

Yes, I suppose I'm freerolling here. It still feels dirty when I'm losing it though. I suppose this is the best way to learn BR management/online variance.

I know many of you can lose 4-buyins without much hurt- its just another day for you. I'm just not used to it I guess.

Not it's not, the best way to learn BR management.
Read "Gambling Theory and other Topics" By Mason Malmuth.

If you can't afford the book keep posting and asking questions.
Although some forum members flame whenever someone asks a BR question eventually you get a good answer.

(Note: As I've said before I took as shot a 600NL with a short bankroll and got hit with the deck and quadrupled my bankroll in a couple of days. I admit I didn't practice what most people would consider good money management.)
