$10/20 will test your ability to also handle swings in the thousands of dollars.

Quoting for truth. I just had my first $2,000 swing and I probably would have thrown up if I wasn't so overbankrolled for the game.

Just curious, what is "overbankrolled" for this game?

What kind of people are the LAG's in games such as 10/20 and above? Playing down at the micros, I can assume that most are new to the game, or don't really care that much about the money but just enjoy playing, never read anything about strategy and just make it up as they go etc.

When you get to a level like 10/20 or higher, it's tough for me to believe that people just don't care about the money and want to have fun. That is a serious amount of money they are playing with, and they have to realize they are losing it. You said yourself they have decent reading skills, and play alright post flop, so they have to have some knowledge of the game.

So what kind of people actually make up the "bad players" in the higher limits?

[/ QUOTE ]

LAGs that ran hot/ran over the lower limit games.

This happens often enough to keep a good supply of them up there? I would expect they would go broke pretty fast.

Dare we even think of how we could describe it? [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

How about a kick in the balls followed by a knee to the face combo. Then your 'friend' takes a bat and slams you unconscious. And you don't even want to know in what state you wake up and what things are where...

Just brainstorming here...
