Re: Ridiculous short stacks at the Party $100/$200 game
[ QUOTE ]
I'm watching them right now. It's like watching a 1-2 game. I just saw a 26BB pot get taken down. [/ QUOTE ] That was my impression, as well, at least on the occasions when I watched at night/in the early morning. SpaceAce

Re: Ridiculous short stacks at the Party $100/$200 game
[ QUOTE ]
I think a lot of people who don't normally play on the Party skin have had trouble getting money quickly enough onto Party. I know that is my problem. [/ QUOTE ] I hadn't considered that but it does make sense. However, wouldn't those people be better advised to just wait a week or whatever to get some money in their account rather than play on very short stacks? Also, while this explanation may explain some of the shortish stacks, I doubt it covers people playing with 1-4 bets in front of them. SpaceAce

Re: Ridiculous short stacks at the Party $100/$200 game
Do you guys realize the proper bankroll for a game like 100/200?
Take 500BB, that's how much? My head is spinning. 100k? I think 100/200 anyone with less than 60k as their bankroll is asking to go down and go down hard. I am not sure how many high rollers who can spare 60k we have on these boards, less than a dozen?

There have been plenty of times since I started playing poker where I've had wads of money, thousands of dollars, and didn't have a penny to spare. SpaceAce

SpaceAce [/ QUOTE ] i disagree. my bankroll is indeed money i can "spare." that is, all money pulled OUT of neteller and spent, loaned to mommy, used to buy brother stuff, is no longer considered to be in my bankroll. i have a graphing calculator and store total amounts at each site and at neteller as a letter (N = neteller etc..) adding those letters up = my bankroll. all of it is "money i can spare." if you can't "spare" it then you can't afford to lose it. if you can't afford to lose it then it doesn't belong in a gambling bankroll. and i dont think 100k is a proper bankroll for 1/2. in fact, i have promised myself that if my total poker bankroll drops below 100k i will be dropping limits. hope this helps. -Barron

You said yourself that the money you spend is no longer considered part of your poker bankroll which sort of proves my point. If it's your poker bankroll, it's not "spare" money. If you play poker on your spare money, that's a completely different situation. SpaceAce
