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.

buy in for 50, any less is uncivilized.

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.

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.

I buy in for 25 at 5/10 and I'm not retarded.

I think there is value in it. What I used to do was sit alone at a table and buy in for likr $234.96. You end up with a bunch of people with $50 sitting down who really shouldn't be playing 5/10. If you sit with $500 I often find you are a lonely goose.

? This is the most retarded post I've read on here in a while. Perhaps a failed attempt at being funny.

I always buy in for 25 because I'm too lazy to type in new numbers, and there is zero significance to having 25 more bets in your stack. It's really easy to add chips if you drop 20 bets.

If you 8 table, I could maybe see an argument for time saving.

please explain why it matters wether you have 13BB or 1300BB in front of you at limit poker with a 4 bet cap on each street? I'm clearly retarded and don't understand the difference.

Oh, to OP:
what is the point of this poll? Variance happens? If you're not dropping 25BB at a single table from time to time you are one of the following:
a) the luckiest player on earth
b) moving tables a LOT
c) setting a stop loss which is (generally speaking) a bad idea
d) not playing your strong draws aggressively enough against weak opponents.

Just curious. Then I thought good poll question, other than that no real reason. By the way I go around 20 sessions between 25BB wins or losses. Most of my sessions are either small wins or small losses ~5 BB's.
