Default 100 dollar bankroll....

Ok I have been observing the nl 25 dollar buy in game at party poker and it appears to be very soft, I know I can beat it. But the thing is would it be a terrible idea to play in this game with such a limited bankroll? I mean i would do .5 /.10 but they dont seem to have that at party, and the 25$ buy in seems real soft there. So what do you think?

Well, even if you play perfectly, you've gotta a decent shot of busting. Then again, it could work. But, you'll always be 4 bad beats or bad decisions away from broke. 4 bad beats in a row happen all the time. Your better off playing on another site that has lower limits and building your way up.

Hi Josh, take 2 $25 shots and move elsewhere with remaining $50 if you lose.

That is what I would do.

$25 NL has been juicy for me in the past, I need to revisit it!

You'd probably be better off buying in short and using Miller's short-stack strategy if you want to play the 25's. The safest plan would be to play on a site where they do offer smaller games and work your way up. I have on a couple of occasions started with a limited BR(4-5 buyins) and have managed not too bust, but I'm also the luckiest luckbox ever. JMO

Think about what you're saying. Putting $10 on the table is putting $10 on the table. The only advantage you have from smaller blinds is deeper stacks. But I doubt that is that much of an advantage for the OP. So he should just play a short strategy with the fish at Party until he builds his roll a bit, IMO.

If it's $100 you can set fire to, go for it.

Work on your Sit-n-Go play. Start with the $5+1s and work your way up.

Yea i mean a hundred dollars is a hundred dollars, not that big of a deal.... But I wouldn't exactly say I could set fire to it, were you implying that would be the result of such action? I was thinking about buying in for 12.50, but it seems everyone else buy ins for the full 25 and I would be a serious short stack. The sit and go's are an idea as I have found success with them in the past, but I usually just up the buy in to 10+1, 20+2 and eventually dabble in 50+5.
