Default Re: I forgot how to play poker.

play no limit and have a safeguard policy: If I lose 2 days in a row, I move down in limits and continue moving down until I can win again.

Is this a psychological thing or a bankroll requirement thing? Because if it's just psychological, you are giving up a lot of potential profit by doubting your skills every so often.

[/ QUOTE ]FWIW, Kristy Gazes had a similar concept in the recent full tilt article:

Furthermore, I really highly doubt I'm giving up much EV by moving down limits when I'm playing bad and moving up limits when I'm playing good. Also my policy isn't written in stone either. If I sense I'm playing bad, then get up and come back and still think I'm playing bad in the same day, I'll move down limits. Furthermore, it's super rare I have two losing days in a row (only twice over past 6 months of daily play since I started keeping track).
