Default Lose your buy-in poll

I was wondering how often players who post on 2+2 lose their initial buy-in. For the purposes of this poll I'm assuming that you either play on party and use the default option of 25BB, or you buy-in for 25BB where you play. Also if you reload when your stack gets low and lose 25BB this counts as a lost buy-in.

I don't really know how to answer this poll. I usually buy in for 50BB. I play about 2K hands a day. I probably slip below 25BB at some table at least once a day. I switch tables a lot though so that's probably misleading.

I normally buy in for 25BB and if it drops much below 10 I'll quit if it's been a long session, or I'll rebuy if it's a good table and I've just been unlucky, or I'll move to a new table if I've been outplayed at this one.

I answered your poll but I don't know how meaningful the results will be for you.

I buy in for 25. If I slip below 12 or so I'll take that as an opportunity to reevaluate the table. If it's still good I'll rebuy for an additional 25 at this time.

My gut feeling is that people will try to push you around more and respect your strength less if you are at the table with less than 10BB.

As for the first part of the question, in my last 20K hands (new database), I've had 5 session of 349 that I've ended up down over 25 BB. I'm sure I was down more than that on some of the others and came back to above water.

It doesn't really matter if you buy in for 50 or 25, as long as you reload when you dip below 12.

Me too. At 2/4 buying in for 100 is the norm. I rarely see anyone sit down with 200.

Yeah, I thought this was standard protocol for 2+2ers. Furthermore, if you buy-in for 25 at 5/10 there's a good chance you're retarded.
