Default Re: Dealing with Swings

I just play with a huge bankroll in comparison to the stakes. I'm very comfortable playing 600nl where the swings are almost irrelevant to my BR, rather than 1k nl, where although i'm am almost definately a solid winner, i don't feel comfortable losing 5k in a day. I used to also go on an emotional rollercoaster, and although my play really wasn't affected very much by it, it sucked. Now i just dont' care and the only thing that happens to me when i go on a real bad run is i start laughing.

losing 5k a day, wow. Id just like to win 5k a month. But good point big bankroll makes the hit softer. Seems like a less portion to lose.

Losing $200 with a $5000 BR is nothing
Losing $200 with a $800 BR is a lot.
